"Feels So Good" is the title of an instrumental composition by the American flugelhorn player Chuck Mangione. It was written and produced by Mangione, and is the title track from his 1977 album.
"Feels So Good" was released as a single in early 1978, which reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in June of that year[3] after spending a week atop the Billboard easy listening chart in May.[4] The recording was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Record of the Year at the ceremony held in 1979, losing out to Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are".[4] Mangione re-recorded the tune (as a slow ballad, and with lyrics sung by Don Potter) for his 1982 album 70 Miles Young.
Mangione was quoted describing the editing of the original version of the track as "major surgery."[4]
The jazz-classical fusion duo Marimolin covered "Feels So Good" (arranged for marimba and violin) on their 1994 album Combo Platter.
