@kingoliver45 I'm gonna go with Frank Sinatra as a personal preference in some songs, like Moon River for example. But other than that Louis Armstrong has a certain charm to his voice that nobody else has ever had. God hasn't blessed this world with anyone that even compares to Louis when it comes to touching people's hearts with his voice and wonderful melodies (maybe sam cooke who died too soon).

The song is so great, it outshines all of that racist nonsense going on in the background (the Aunt Jemima 'mammy' holding a giant piece of chicken, later giving it to a black man who devours it like a hungry slave).

This soundie is sort of the MTV version of racial stereotyping in its imagery. It's almost better handled by closing your eyes and listening to the music.
But what is interesting about this one is that Louis himself, who gets accused of Uncle Tom-ism, looks dead serious about his music on this one.

I would try to contact phoebe Jacobs directly at the archives. She is probably the biggest louis Armstrong fan in the world. She might know something. Just thought you might want to know.
