Louis Armstrong (Aug.4,1901 Jul.6,1971), nicknamed Satchmo, was an American jazz trumpeter and singer.
Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an innovative cornet and trumpet virtuoso, Armstrong was a foundational influence on jazz, shifting the music's focus from collective improvisation to solo performers.
With his distinctive gravelly voice, Armstrong was an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also greatly skilled at scat singing, or wordless vocalizing.
Renowned for his charismatic stage presence and deep, instantly recognizable voice, Armstrong's influence extended well beyond jazz, and by the end of his career in the '60s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general: critic Steve Leggett describes Armstrong as "perhaps the most important American musician of the 20th century."

The 1928 cover of this song by guitarist Henry Williams and fiddler Eddie Anthony is worth checking out. Retitled 'Georgia Crawl', its an awesome cover of this fun tune. Search it on youtube and check it out.

it is sad lillian is buried in the cemetary across the street from my apartment in chicago in an plain masoleum not fancy really and her husband is buried in new york with a fancy black marble headstone, you would think that since they died 3 months apart they would be buried together.

Louis Armstrong And His Hot Five
February 26, 1926, Chicago, Illinois
From nathanielturner we are a dancing people: "The Georgia Grind. In it, Dancer #1 brushes against and grinds into the body of Dancer #2.
Dancer #2, not to be outdone, grinds back.
One might say the main idea behind this dance is to cause sexual friction and arousal."
