Verve's Finest Hour profiles career highlights from trumpeter and flügelhornist Chuck Mangione. These selections cover his well-known '70s material, when Mangione achieved crossover pop status with "Feels So Good." Also included are "Land of Make Believe," "Main Squeeze," and "Children of Sanchez Overture." This seven-song budget priced compilation is a good introduction to Mangione's most productive and successful years.~Al Campbell
