What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

Back


Impressive. One of this video watcher a "live book" about Armstrong. His message:
-------------------------------------
Hi David,
Sorry for taking so long to reply. I'm not on that video nor was I there. I'm a life-long Louis Armstrong nut so I know when he did everything. There are two books that I get my information about videos from, "All Of Me-The Complete Discography of Louis Armstrong" by Jos Willems & "Louis Armstrong On The Screen" by Dr. Klaus Stratemann. The Louis clip you posted is from the first of two BBC-TV shows. Each show was 45 minutes & they were taped on the same day, July 2, 1968. Aside from Louis the rest of the band is Tyree Glenn-trombone, Joe Muranyi-clarinet, Marty Napoleon-piano, Buddy Catlett-bass & Danny Barcelona-drums. Louis died three years later, on July 6, 1971. He was only on the road full time for another two months after this clip. By mid September of 1968 he was seriously ill in the hospital & was out of commisiion for most of 1969. I hope that's enough information for you.
Best wishes,
Phil

Lou's facial expressions were part and parcel of his struggles and love for his craft. This made him a dynamic entertainer, so engaging and almost entrancing, because we knew there was so much going on in "his" world. This is perhaps his signature song, and it's an all time classic; no other covers quite compare. This is his unique tribute to humanity, and we should all thank him for leaving this beautiful world a beautiful song.
