I'm 41, Armstrong's been my hero since 16. Still he's the greatest. While he's just kicking butt here at the top of his game (29 years old), it's probably the best film example of how special he was as a performer, along with the gage-influenced (?) "Dinah" video.

What a performance! Louis was a singular phenomenon. You can tell he was 'EXTRA' Weed and speed i would speculate. This is not a criticism,just an observation.

The single, most important figure in Jazz history.

what's the name of this movie?

The intensity when he goes from the singing to the trumpet gives me wave of chills, He busts a few notes quick, like he's opening a door inside somewhere, then his eyes flash open for a second and shut...the very next note that comes out of him seems powerful enough to blow back trees and rattle windows.

Terrific posting...LOUIS was the GREATEST!!!

Maybe it's just the outfit, but I think Louis as a young man was hot



Louis transcends beyond the handcuffs of racism and soars beyond race. Nothing can restrain his beauty and his courage through these circumstances of surviving in those times.That is what makes him truly free.

In spite of all the stupid stereo types of this video, Louis Armstrong over comes all of that with greatness of his music, and class he had has a person.
