People today don't want talent or actual instruments used in their music. :/ Sad but..Changing world that people keep whoring out for change.

I'm not surprised that no one has unliked this. You'd have to be insane to not love this music. Louis was a one of a kind musician. I love all kinds of music, but Jazz holds a unique ring that none other can quite match.

Fantstic!

"...they threw a party in a manner a la mode" ?! In French that means with style/fashion. In the US it means with ice cream. So, ghosts, goblins, skeletons or not, they got ice cream! Bring your spoon!

Russel, I believe you are right on target. It certainly does sound like Oliver Hardy, from Laurel and Hardy. I couldn't verify it to be sure, but your selection is as good as it gets! If anyone supplies a definitive answer, then they may claim the prize of music historian of the decade and an award of 400 quatloos. lol

@christopherm2k Listen closely, I may be mistaken but I believe it's Oliver Hardy...at least it sure sounds like him.

The perfection................cool­...........!!!

The ending of the song always makes me laugh. It sounds like Hans Conried, but I couldn't pin it down. lol "That's all there is. There isn't anymore." Also, the trumpet solo reprise sounds very reminiscent of "Hello Dolly." He is a legend. "What a Wonderful World," with Louis Armstrong.

Haha who's the guy that says "that's all there is", does it on cab calloway's song too!

Also I'm surprised no one's mentioned this guy beat michael jakson to the punch... I ain't mentioning it... for the record
