Jazz musician Chuck Mangione, known for his hit “Feels So Good,” has died at 84.

His attorney, Peter S. Matorin, says Mangione died Tuesday at his home in Rochester, New York.

He achieved international fame in 1977 with “Feels So Good,” a smooth-jazz staple. He also composed “Give It All You Got” for the 1980 Winter Olympics.

Mangione released over 30 albums and won two Grammy Awards. He started his career as a bebop musician inspired by Dizzy Gillespie.

In 2009, he donated memorabilia to the Smithsonian. Mangione retired in 2015, leaving a lasting legacy in jazz music.
