@xyape3 This is the slow version of the same song on the same album. ABC used some of his music for the '76 Olympics. C. Mangione's music from the mid-70's was sort of new age jazz before the term new age came into existence. Mangione's use of upper chords in his arrangements gave his music a distinct sound at the time.
I think George Winston's classically influenced music gave rise to the term 'New Age' in the 80's.
Chuck is so cool with his cool hat ! What a great smile ! He loved to play and you could feel it in his music.Very positive and uplifting.The 70's was a special time for funky jazz.
Yo era pequeno cuando mi mama me ponia esta cancion para ponerme a dormir y me dan muchas memorias ya que mi mama se me fue al cielo. Bendicion mami.............!!
en una ocasiòn a eso de las 3 a.m. escuchè por primera vez esta agradable melodìa en una estaciòn FM de Guatemala. No supe quien la tocaba hasta ahora que veo este video y sè que es del maese Mangione. ¡¡¡excellent111
does anyone else remember him playing the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles circa mid 70's? with a a band from England? by the name Renaaissance? or was the headliner someone other than Chuck M?
In 1983-84, after Metromedia acquired Chicago station WFLD Channel 32 following the implosion of prior owners Field Enterprises, a portion of this piece was used for the sign-off, per:
same here,i have heard this song millions of times on my local jazz station but never knew who played it,then found out he also plays another song i love.
I can remember when I was a kid, lying in the chaise lounge with the headphones on listing to this song. It was so relaxing it would always put me to sleep.
tymcio, ja Ciebie też pozdrawiam, bo jestem wielkim wielbicielem Jego muzyki. kocham ją jak wariat, odkąd usłyszałem poraz pierwszy dźwięki "Children of..." No, a kiedy zagrał w moim rodzinnym Szczecinie...Zapamietam to na zawsze :-))
Fun and games was one of the first records I bought at first took me a while to really like it and after I gave it away the soft sound keep always playing in my mind. Thanks for posting it. Have not been able to get this version
God bless Gerry and Coleman. Rest in peace. Heaven has added two more great players to the big band in the sky. Bless the families friends fans and Chuck Mangione for having these wonderful players in his group give so much through the years
wow I've been looking for this for a long time. I remember my moms played this record all the time when I was a little kid. Brings back so many good memories
Always liked this version best...thanks
