Chuck Mangione's "Feels so Good" features the flugelhorn, which is an instrument very similar to a trumpet but with a warmer tone. For its single release in 1978, the piece was edited down to just over a third of its original 9:33 running time. The video posted here is the original, complete with all solos.
German musician Hans Hugo Harold Faltermeyer is in many ways the total package of European music. Throughout the 70's and 80's he had at various times been a session musician, arranger, producer, and composer.
Faltermeyer's best-known composition is probably Axel F from the movie Beverly Hills Cop.
Dutch musician Thijs Van Leer founded the group Focus at the turn of the decade in 1969-1970 and was soon joined by guitarist Jan Akkerman. Their breakthrough came with the 1971 album Moving Waves/Focus II and its single Hocus Pocus which included Thijs Van Leer's yodelling vocals, whistling, and flute.
