I get why a song like this became popular, because it's awesome, but what I want to know is HOW does a song like this get popular, since it had no lyrics and came out in the 70s so you had no internet back then to look it up. How would people even find out what it is?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0wK8EVJdbg
>look up album>look up label>look up founder>look at early life

>>131100291record label pays radio station x amount of money to play song x amount of times per day for x amount of days/weeks/months.
>>131100345Wow, what a shocker, someone named Mangione is Italian. You sure are a master detective.
>>131100722you want from A. to D. and skipped B. and C. and that makes both you and your post mentally retarded.
>>131100291because the smooth-talkin’ daddio who jockeyed that disc would come on the radio afterwards and say “aaaaaand that was Chuck Mangione with ‘Feels So Good’.” and then he’d throw on some Rod Stewart and your grandparents would fuck to Rod Stewart. different times
>>131100291>How would people even find out what it is?>plays on the radio1. dj says what he playedor2. call the station and ask what he just played.t. genx who remembers that stuff
>>131100291Back in the day you just browsed record stores and labels made sure to instruct stores to put certain albums in certain sections. Its the same as going on Spotify and seeing "hot new albums"
>>131100291AM radio played itback then most people listened to the radioin their cars. in bars. at their workplacepeople weren't streaming as much
>>131100345>caring about anything aside from how the music sounds. You are a failure. >>131100291Could be any number of factors. I remember jazz (especially the smooth kind) was much more prominent in the late 70s and early 80s so it's not that hard to believe some jazzier stuff hit the charts. Especially considering all the jazzy inspired pop and rock from around that time (ex: Steely Dan, Weather Report, Joni Mitchell, Santana, Chicago, Zappa to a smaller extent).
Dang ol' Megalow mart BOOM
>>131100291Radio DJs used to read out the songs they were about to play, or just played, depending on the DJ in question. If you missed the song announcement, you could literally call in and ask. A lot of the time, you might be out with someone that had heard the song before and caught the title announcement, and thus knew the name of it.
