NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) – Primary Wave Music, the leading independent publisher of iconic and legendary music globally, announces its partnership with the iconic composer, flugelhorn and trumpet player Chuck Mangione today. This exciting new partnership will see the publisher acquire Mangione’s music publishing and other music rights, including his writer’s share, artist royalties and neighboring rights. The deal encompasses Mangione’s entire repertoire across his incomparable career in music. Terms of the agreement will also give Mangione access to the company’s marketing team and publishing infrastructure, working closely on new marketing, branding, digital, and synch opportunities and film and television projects.
During his over 50-year music career, Mangione released more than thirty albums. Included in the deal are the Jazz sensation’s biggest hits, such as “Feels So Good,” “Bellavia,” “Land of Make Believe,” “Give It All You Got, But Slowly,” “Children of Sanchez,” “Once Upon A Love Time,” “Chase The Clouds Away,” and more.
Mangione was nominated for an astounding 14 Grammy Awards, winning two for “Best Instrumental Composition” in 1976 for “Bellavia” and then again for “Best Pop Instrumental Performance” in 1979 for “Children of Sanchez.” That year, Mangione’s biggest hit, “Feels So Good,” was nominated for “Record of the Year.” The single was the title track from his 1977 jazz release, soaring to the top 5 on the US charts. The song also went to the top of Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart and helped the album peak at number 2 on the Billboard 200.
Mangione released the album Fun and Games a year later, including his hit single “Give It All You Got.” That single was used as the theme for the 1980 Olympic Winter Games. It was the second time one of Mangione’s songs was used for the Olympics. Four years earlier, his Grammy-nominated single “Chase The Clouds Away” was used at the Summer Olympics. In addition to his music, Mangione appeared in several television shows, including as an animated version of himself on the hit TV show King Of The Hill. He appeared on several episodes, and his initial appearance also featured a score explicitly recorded for the occasion.
Of the partnership, Mangione said, “I am really thrilled to join the roster of iconic artists who Primary Wave represents. It makes me ‘Feel So Good’ to join the company of such great artists and musicians.”
Lexi Todd, Primary Wave’s Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs, added, “We could not be happier to welcome Chuck Mangione to the family! To this day, Chuck’s music feels like a breath of fresh air, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to continue to breathe new life into these timeless tunes. Chuck’s awards and accolades speak for themselves – he is a true master of his craft and an incredible addition to our roster of legends.”
