Chuck Mangione is well-known in the music world for being a top-tier trumpeter, flugelhorn player and composer.

But reports surfaced on Thursday that he had passed away at the age of 84.

The report came from TMZ, and they also revealed the cause of death, with natural causes being the reason.

“Famed jazz musician Chuck Mangione is dead … TMZ has confirmed. The flugelhorn and trumpet player died this week at his home in Rochester, New York … according to his manager. We’re told Chuck died from natural causes.”

A report from Evan Bourtis of WHEC NBC also mentioned Mangione died Tuesday in his sleep in Rochester.

Mangione released more than 30 albums during his music career, but his biggest hit song was “Feels So Good.” He earned 14 Grammy nominations during his legendary music career while winning two Grammys.

His career began with the band called the “Jazz Brothers” as Chuck played alongside his brother, Gap, who played the piano.

Mangione also made an appearance on the sitcom “King of the Hill”, and one clip surfaced after the death of the musician.

Perhaps his biggest moment was at the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid when he performed “Give It All You Got” at the closing ceremonies.

Mangione was born in Rochester, New York, and in 2012, he was inducted into the Rochester Music Hall of Fame.
