Chuck Mangione and Esther Satterfield's "Land of Make Believe"

Land of Make Believe" is a 1973 jazz album and song by Chuck Mangione. Chuck is an American flugelhorn player and composer who achieved international success in 1977 with his jazz-pop single, "Feels So Good."

I love this song. Played it on the way home from protesting yesterday. Highly recommend to give it a listen.

I once broke almost half a set of dishes while doing housework and playing this song with the volume up.

What I meant was it motivated me to such an extent that I was housecleaning at warp speed, and then things got a bit messy. I saw her and Mangione at the Hollywood Bowl. Fantastic.
