             HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF CHUCK MANGIONE

  (Mr. MORELLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORELLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy 
of Rochester's own Chuck Mangione, a world-class musician whose unique 
sound carried our city's spirit to every corner of the globe.
  Born and raised in Rochester, Chuck never forgot where he came from. 
From his early days playing alongside his brother, Gap, as The Jazz 
Brothers, to studying at and later leading the Eastman School of 
Music's jazz program, Chuck's commitment to his hometown never wavered. 
His flugelhorn gave us classics like ``Feels So Good,'' earned Grammy 
Awards, and became the soundtrack to unforgettable moments.
  In Rochester, we remember Chuck not just for his fame but for his 
generosity, joy, and the pride he shared in our community. He leaves a 
legacy that will keep our city swinging for generations. May we honor 
him by celebrating our hometown music the way Chuck always did.
