"It really puzzles me to see marijuana connected with narcotics dope and all of that stuff. It is a thousand times better than whiskey. It is an assistant and a friend." - Louis Armstrong
Louis Armstrong is the musical Nelson Mandela of his time: most of his life a black citizen in a North American segregated society. The man kept smilin' tho' he had little - as an equal and free citizen of the USA - to smile about. Charismatic, democratic, universal, a man to be proud of. Just like Madiba.
The world was lucky enough to have a man like this and in tears when it lost him. Such an incredible talent. This man had a heart. You listen to a man like this and everything else sounds like garbage. 5 dislikes? Who in their right mind would dislike this legend?
Think the recording was done in New York with Columbia back in the 50's. I've got it on a Polydor double L/P (with lots of other wonderful Louis recordings from the same period) "The very best of Loius Armstrong"
I would hazard a guess that 5 people wouldn't purposefully search out this song, listen to it and then dislike it.. it is more statistically likely that they clicked the wrong section 0.5% of the time i am sure people click the wrong bit.
I plan on playing this at my wedding. I just don't know where. I've been a jazz lover my whole life. My grandpa, dad, brother, and myself have all played instruments but my sis is the the only one who took up trumpet. I love the sound but my favorite is still trombone. RIP Louis.
when my friend got her macbook pro in late 2009... she said she had this song somehow pre-loaded on the laptop. and she told me she didn't know how it got there... i assumed it was some form of preliminary brainwashing because this song was used for FaceTime ads to help push the iPhone 4 in the summer of 2010.
I love Louis Armstrong. He is such a great singer, I have a dayhome, and my little guys ( 2-4) ask for his cds to be played. He will sure go through the generations as one of the greatest voices of all time :)
This is a great song. Although a bit slow for my tastes... Louis Prima's version is my favorite. Still love Louis Armstrong though. Especially "What a Wonderful World" and "Dream a Little Dream of Me"
"Satch" was revered in our home. Though we were poor Irish kids, we never cared about color, it was what was in your heart. And we are still true to that value. To suggest all whites treated blacks poorly 'back then' is inaccurate and racist. But this is an all time great song and thank you for posting it here. God Bless
love it, i can feel the sun on my neck and i can feel the happyness and livelyness in a huge black family's party. us pale twats don't know what we're missin'
the iphone 4 advert with the baby smiling and the lady having the ultrasound makes me get a tear in my eye! i love his husky voice, reminds me of my great nan at christmas so much! thankyou for uploading thisssss <3
i'm sad now :( ................... such a beautiful singer and jazz performer its such a shame he died. lOUIS Armstrong R.I.P 1901-1971 long live the jazz legend!!!!!!!!! when hear this song i think of my granddad and smile :)
