"What a Wonderful World" [1970 Spoken Introduction Version] along with Oliver Nelson's Orchestra is a song written by Bob Thiele (as George Douglas) and George David Weiss. It was first recorded by Louis Armstrong and released as a single in 1967. Thiele and Weiss were both prominent in the music world (Thiele as a producer and Weiss as a composer/performer). Armstrong's recording was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. Intended as an antidote for the increasingly racially and politically charged climate of everyday life in the United States, the song also has a hopeful, optimistic tone with regard to the future, with reference to babies being born into the world and having much to look forward to. The song was initially offered to Tony Bennett, who turned it down. Thereafter, it was offered to Louis Armstrong.
Louis Armstrong (August 4, 1901 -- July 6, 1971), nicknamed Satchmo or Pops, was an American jazz trumpeter and singer from New Orleans, Louisiana.
Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an "inventive" trumpet and cornet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from collective improvisation to solo performance. With his instantly recognizable gravelly voice, Armstrong was also an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also skilled at scat singing (vocalizing using sounds and syllables instead of actual lyrics).
Renowned for his charismatic stage presence and voice almost as much as for his trumpet-playing, Armstrong's influence extends well beyond jazz music, and by the end of his career in the 1960s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general. Armstrong was one of the first truly popular African-American entertainers to "cross over", whose skin color was secondary to his music in an America that was severely racially divided. He rarely publicly politicized his race, often to the dismay of fellow African-Americans, but took a well-publicized stand for desegregation during the Little Rock Crisis. His artistry and personality allowed him socially acceptable access to the upper echelons of American society that were highly restricted for a black man.
Armstrong died of a heart attack in his sleep on July 6, 1971 at the age of 69, 11 months after playing a famous show at the Waldorf-Astoria's Empire Room. He was residing in Corona, Queens, New York City, at the time of his death. He was interred in Flushing Cemetery, Flushing, in Queens, New York City. His honorary pallbearers included Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Pearl Bailey, Count Basie, Harry James, Frank Sinatra, Ed Sullivan, Earl Wilson, Alan King, Johnny Carson and David Frost. Peggy Lee sang The Lord's Prayer at the services while Al Hibbler sang "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" and Fred Robbins, a long-time friend, gave the eulogy.
Armstrong was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1972 by the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. This Special Merit Award is presented by vote of the Recording Academy's National Trustees to performers who, during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording. Recordings of Armstrong were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, which is a special Grammy award established in 1973 to honor recordings that are at least twenty-five years old, and that have "qualitative or historical significance."

He was an Angel from Heaven. America’s greatest ambassador. His trumpet and voice blessed us all. And he’d been through such poverty and hardship as a child. God ❤bless that genius of Jazz.
If you want to go a little deeper, check out the genius of Louis and Ella Fitzgerald singing the entire “Porgy and Bess”- a great American opera with an all Black cast by George and Ira Gershwin
Ella and Louis kill it!!!!!!!❤❤.
Yes he was
As a little girl I watched him in a movie, Uncle Remus, and I truly thought he was my Uncle and the Uncle of all children who told us Fables to learn from...they had morals about doing right and wrong.
I’m sorry you didn’t get to grow up hearing Louis Armstrong like many of us did. He was a great singer and trumpet player but there was something special about the man himself. Everyone loved him. I’m glad you’ve finally heard him and that you feel about him the way we do. Hopefully you have some younger viewers who will also be exposed to some really great music, thanks to you.
What a great legend. Louis Armstrong was an American trumpeter & vocalist going back to the 20's-60's. His career spanned five decades & he is considered one of the most influential figures in jazz. He was known for his gravelly raspy deep voice & he was good at scat singing. Love his version of "Hello Dolly" from the movie with the same name starring Barbra Streisand in 1969.
One of the most AMERICAN
Louis Armstrong was actively singing from 1919 to 1971. , oh yea.
I am an oldish white guy from the other side of the Atlantic, but I grew up listening (thanks to my grandmother) to the likes of Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, and the rest of those legends. I think it's sad that they don't seem to be recognised by younger generations, because they were pioneers to be proud of. Delve deep, young sir, and you'll meet some astonishing talent.
Likewise, except for the grandmother part. I feel privileged to have grown up with these artists and their incomparable voices.
Say Hey Mugs, Louis lit up the place, on TV, in person, overseas, and on and on. Plus he's one of the originators of Jazz. His catalogue of music is gigantic. Your heartfelt reaction is appreciated.
Everybody loved Armstrong. And the World seemed alot better then it is now.
I'm so sorry your generation didn't experience these artist. I'm 72 remember him well being on all the shows at the time. Classic voice , so sorry young people don't look into this historical artist who help change people's perception of Africa Americans , he was a pioneer, should never be forgotten.
When I was a little girl, my father would stack albums on the hi-fi . He would take request from me and my sisters. we would fall asleep listening to our favorites. Albums. My sisters would ask for Cinderella or Danny Kaye….me…it was Louis Armstrong every time! I was about 9 years old … I would try to sing like him and belt out ‘hello dolly’. Listening to him made me feel so comforted. Love Louis! Thank you for this reaction and bringing back all the beautiful memories. Doesn’t he have the best smile!?
Me, too. With the hairbrush " microphone" belting out " Hello, Dolly" LOL
Ah sweet memories 💞
Needed this today
It isn’t “why am I only hearing about him now?”, but “thank god I’m hearing about him while I can enjoy his work!”
It's unbelievable to me that this is the first time you've heard Louis (pretty sure it's pronounced Louie but I could be wrong). This is the song that catapulted him into all our hearts. Singing about the brilliance of God's creations when you were raised in poverty and in the middle of racial tensions shows you exactly what a great man he was. He appreciated everything good about his life
Pretty sure “Louie” was a nickname. I’m 65; my daddy loved him, always referred to him as “Louie.” I’m wondering … I’m wondering if back in the day, he was viewed as an “Uncle Tom” in the Black community. [Looking …] Okay, yes, I just googled and unfortunately, it appears I’m right. The article I looked at says he was very hurt by that. Of course. It’s too bad. But at least it might partly explain why a young Black man today might not know who he was.
Actually he hated being called Louie. It's definitely Louis. He also didn't like the nickname Satchmo.
@@jamesbanksiii319 True about his preferring Louise to Louise, but he did often refer to himself as Satchmo, so I think he was happy with that one.
He never cared for being called Louie. Either Louis or Satchmo
This song is one of the very few that will last for hundreds of years. Yes, musicians need to embrace the incredible history of American music… if you don’t know your past, you can’t really move forward….
Jesus bro, im tearing up before he has sung a note. #truewords
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Louis Armstrong was a very special men.
This really should be required listening for everyone on the planet.
I love his version of Summertime with Ella Fitzgerald, too. His trumpet and their voices are just beautiful.
Thanks for this gem. It always brings a tear to my eye.
perhaps one of the greatest recordings of any song ever made!
Yesss, chills just thinking about that song!!
A classic. I never heard the speaking intro before. Louis was one of a kind. A beautiful man.
Keep His music alive by listening to it all. Louis Armstrong is one of the greatest troubadours of all time.
I love Louis Armstrong's music. I can listen to him all day long, and never, ever get bored. Nobody ever sang with more feeling.
And, while most people are familiar with songs like this one and "Hello, Dolly", what I love the most are the songs that he recorded way back in the 1920's and 1930's. That's the Satchmo that I love best. He was one of the most influential jazz musicians of all times. You're right; we need a musical revival.
both you and Louis Armstrong's smiles are so contagious and w0jnderful
Louis was a true treasure to this world. He made everything he sang about, even more beautiful.
68 now remember this when released still brings tear to eye WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
This is the first time I've heard the spoken intro. Makes more sense now. He was a great musician.
You should listen to some of his trumpet work. Amazing. And you are right, we should all celebrate black artists who contribute so much to our culture.
I used to sit on my great uncle Hen's lap and listen to great music like this. Music appreciation at age 3/4.
the song is just as incredibly good as Louis Armstrong's voice.
Louis Armstrong is a legendary musician. He had a voice that you wouldn't think could be soothing , but it is.
My Grandpa loved him and would play his records. That's how I was exposed to Louis Armstrong.
This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. It helps reset my perspective of the world.
Louie Armstrong, as he was know lovingly was a national treasure with his trumpet playing and this beautiful song!!!
This beautiful man was the reason I picked up a trumpet back in 1971. I played it throughout elementary school, middle school, high school, and 26 years in the military. At 60 years old, I still pull it out from time to time and reminisce. The man was a gift from above. 💓
Louis Armstrong was ELECTRIC!!!!!!!! Love him to pieces!
As a young man, being a trumpet player, Louis Armstrong (AKA Satchmo) was one of my heroes. Wonderful man, hell of a trumpet player and, as you say, a totally unique voice. Great reaction.
Louis Armstrong was loved by everyone white black brown every race in the world he transcended color and was loved by all. Wild bill
Louis Armstrong is not old, he is not new, He transcend everything and anything for us in the Americas. Thank God for our African heritage / influence in Latin America!!
His voice was due to nodules on his vocal cords. After a cold in 1921 his voice was like it is. He had operations in the 1930s to fix it but it got worse or maybe better. Depends on your outlook.
You can feel his pain, even though he is "smiling" when you watch him perform it! Heartbreaking 😢
At my parents 50th wedding anniversary my dad had this song played to my mom.8 months later my dad died.They raised 6 children.
❤❤❤
Beautiful song. Beautiful man. I'm old enough to have seen him on TV and in at least one movie. "Good Morning Vietnam" introduced a new generation to this song and it's never really been forgotten since. Louis was a national treasure.
At the end of every TV broadcast day at midnight in the 60s, this song would close out the day. A song of hope...
Some times it hurts us older folk to hear stuff like this especially when the young dont get its magnitude of its impact on us😢😮❤❤
No matter whenever I hear this….the irony is understood….. I always get a lump in my throat for over 60 years now 😽💋🎶💕
So absolutly true. When i hear this song it makes me happy . He tells it like it is . Humans make a crap world. But the world is a wonderfull world. The happy face he always had, shows the person he was. Kind, educated and a great artist. ❤
There was only one Louis, he made everyone smile. What a tribute to him that he was even recorded in the flesh back then. Wonderful 💖
A national treasure. I remember walking past an open bar in the Quarter in the sixties hearing his cornet. All the doors were open to the street and there he was on the stage playing away open to the public. I swear he will be along side Gabriel playing their horns when the Lord returns.
Satchmo was his nickname, and WOW what an amazing singer and musician!! This is the most glorious song! Never get tired of it! Thanks Mugs!
Satchmo Festival every year in New Orleans
Lou,-wee Armstrong he is a angel wild bill one of the greatest of all time heaven sent
Thank you so much for this. I have always loved this song as only Louis Armstrong could sing it. There is a very strong message in it. We all need to pay attention to his words and how he puts his heart into it. Loved this man. There is a great video you would love. Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra as a duet singing Birth of the Blues. It’s beautiful. Thanks again. 👏👏
Love Louie, he has a unique voice and style. This is one of my all time favorite songs!
My daughter is 10 years old and I show her the beauty of Louis Armstrong. Her favorite song is from the Jungle Book, she knows it by heart and sings it along the song.
I never seen this version of this song before what a hidden treasure thanks for sharing.
Genuinely made me shed a tear fr
I turned 67 this year and it really does my heart good to see younger generations appreciate timeless classics.
This voice represents the whole afro american culture i am tellin you..and i am a greek guy but somehow i can feel him not only the words he says but also the tone of his voice ...thats amazing
Beautiful thats all i can say
Im 26 brother, ive heard this song since i was a little kid!!
My Grandfather who raised me was a Big Band Leader in the 50's & although he could play most every instrument - his trumpet was his favorite. He & Louis played the same clubs frequently. We had speakers all over the house & all we listened to were the greats. For my birthday, he would always serenade me. A magical childhood for this Gen-X girl. I'm grateful he left me his record collection, all of his instruments, sheet music with the songs he wrote & the thing that means the most - he had CD's made of his band playing in these clubs. To hear his voice, trumpet, & the crowd clapping brings tears to my eyes. I can still hear him singing this beautiful song.
The best jazz horn player in the world and greatest singer with soul
I’m 69 and I grew up with my mom playing his music, this was my favorite. One day as a mother I made a tape for my car with that song and spent time making a loop and it would play over and over . One day I could not find it, turns out my teenage daughter took it for her car that’s 4 generations of women who loved him his music and that song.
Louis Armstrong in the early 20th century brought late 19th century French poetic imagism (an aesthetic imitated in the late 1960s by The Doors' Jim Morrison in his free-form lyrics) to American popular music, freed it from a slavish adherence to metronomic regularity and meter completion, freed it for terse improv minimalist suggestivity of lyrical and musical ideas and moods.
He started young as a trumpeter and became great playing in New Orleans jazz bands. See him today in his 40s in an early 1940s jukebox music-video precursor "soundie" now on CZcams, duet singing "What You Say?" with an age 20 Dorothy Dandridge, as jocularly professionally he rebuffs her advances, "you stop that stuff!"
He had a no. 1 pop hit in the early 1960s with his gravelly-voiced jolly solo sing of the Broadway hit song Hello, Dolly! Likely his gravelly voice owed to decades of singing (hard on the vocal chords, can cause nodules) and breathing in tobacco smoke in cabarets (the name of another of his top hit songs, his cover of Cabaret that he seems born to have sung, seeming to epitomize that archetypal maitre de who in that cafe society day beckons and welcomes clientele into a cabaret).
But from his expert yearslong blaring the trumpet, at one point in the '40s or '50s he did have to have lip surgery.
Bing Crosby was early a big fan and emulator of Mr. Armstrong's tightly terse, colloquial, confidently improvising vocal style, and in 1954 they costarred and duetted in the film High Society.
Other Louis Armstrong GHs, now on a few cds, include O When the Saints Come Marchin' In (into the 1960s a New Years Eve favorite), Mack the Knife (a tie with Bobby Darin's cover as definitive, both 1960s hits), Strawberry Hill, Sleepytime Down South, ad astra. Worth a deep dive.
At my parents' Golden anniversary party, my brother's band (its saxophonist had toured with Dionne Warwick) played "It's a Wonderful World," among other Swing greats.
Black and Blue will tear your heart out. I love Louis Armstrong, and he was treated so badly.
" and what they are really saying is I Love You..." Priceless....who doesnt want to hear and be able to say and feel that....thank you
That wonderful gravelly voice, that beautiful wide smile, and that superb trumpet always makes me smile.
Rest in peace Louis Armstrong you are mussed but live on with your beautiful music
The best performances of Louis Armstrong was when he played in the movie "Hello Dolly" with Barbra Streisand. He sang and danced his heart out. That movie was made for that song. The song came first. You would love that movie.
I am an oldie L A was one of the most popular jazz singers across the pound. He was respected by all top stars and sang with the best and loved around the world. He was the man and his music loved him and his style.
One of our National treasures.
I grew up listening to Louis Armstrong , and it broke my heart when he passed away . There will never be time like his or voice like his . Qne of the last greats of when was music was really music .. He was truly a voice of his era , a product of his era . God Bless You Louis Armstrong , rest in the loving arms of the Lord .
He was one of a kind and forever will be. And quite possibly the most beautiful smile of all time.
What makes the world wonderful are people with wonderful spirits like the late Mr. Louis Daniel Armstrong. The world needs more people like Mr. Armstrong, God rest his soul.
I was born in 1946 and I grew listening to him and other great jazz artist. I saw several jazz singers and big bands when I was a teenager. My parents were jazz lovers. I loved every minute of the performances!
Such a beautiful man!!! He is truly missed!
I don’t know how he stayed so positive. Such difficult times and he kept his head held high. I know we have progressed much but pray that we find compassion for one another.
Louis Armstrong was fantastic- I grew up with great music like this & am forever grateful - my grandfather was a jazz musician & my mom was a jazz singer. And, yes- he was called Louie, as well as Satchmo.
I don't remember a time in my life when I didn't know Louie Armstrong. My parents introduced me to Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Nat King Cole, etc when I was growing up. We are an Italian family who loves music of every era.
Luis Armstrong how wonderful - I heard him, when I was a little girl in the 60s - there was a bright future going on.
Love from Austria🇦🇹
I've listened to Louis (Louie) Armstrong all my life, and this is my favorite song! I've let my children know, I want this song played at my funeral ( I don't mean to sound morbid)! The words are just beautiful! Thank you❤
Darlin he will never be gone.He is with us ,and what he gave us is more than just his music.He was a very kind and generous man.
Louis is a world treasure, he had a smile that would light up any room and you’re right….we will NEVER hear another voice like this, he was special ❤
His late wife left everything to Queens College, CUNY. His home is now a museum. I remember when he passed, A reporter asked A young resident about Louis. He replied he never knew he was famous until the reporters and cameras came around. That he was a nice man who bought the kids ice cream. So humble. So kind.
He was incredible also singing the song 'We have all the time in the world' - He sings this also for James Bond films, love, love, love him, so sad he passed away - What a wonderful gentleman. 💝💝
Thank you for playing that. It made smile and tear up. My mom often listened to Louis Armstrong and sang with him.❤
I remember his last tv performance. Flip Wilson show. I was lucky to see so many artists on tv back then.
He sings like he is playing his trumpet. I can recognize Satchmo in a few notes. He was my dad's all time favorite musician.
Deep dive Louis Armstrong. You will not be disappointed.
-I am 86, so I was able to hear Louis for several years. He touched many souls. Obviously he touched our souls today, I have been following your reactions for several months {mostly Angelina} but some other s well. You are one of the better reactors. Keep it going.
This version is my very favorite and this song by Louis Armstrong is one of my very all-time favorites in my 69 years of living😊❤
You should read his life story it will touch your heart...
You selected a hard-to-find version of Louis Armstrong performing this song. I appreciate your sincerity and comments. Well done.
Louis Armstrong boarded the Illinois Central Railroad in New Orleans on June 8, 1922, and arrived in Chicago that night. His mentor, "King" Oliver, was already a success, and telegrammed Louis telling him he needed to come on up. Louis went to the night club where King Oliver was already a star, and within a few years became a superstar. He was to jazz what Elvis and the Beatles were to rock -- he took a popular genre and made it huge. He made popular music into some that could look Classical music in the eye. Ordinary folks' music was equal to the elite's.
I appreciate what you said. You are a wise man. I grew up with Louis Armstrong in the 50s and 60s. He was always a pleasure to watch and hear. One of a kind.
I find it incredibly sad that this is one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard, and you were spot on that we’ll never hear another voice like his again.
A unique voice and a superb trumpet player, one of the all time greats.
There will be another soul like Pops’. Listen to him play trumpet or cornet - nothing and no one sounds or feels like him. A human being who brushed off everything but the love at his core.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I remember watching him sing this song on TV when I was a little kid. My friend listens to this song every night before he goes to bed. He says it helps him sleep better after seeing the world we live in now all day.
I love Louis Armstrong, I love is voice, I love his music and I love the style, I always have loved everything about him. It's so wonderful when I see people that are just learning more about Louis Armstrong. He was one-of-a-kind, a true gift to the world. And all these years later he is still loved, appreciated and admired. ❤
How beautiful, how beautiful!!!! The colors of the rainbow, so pretty on the sky, are also in the faces of people going by...All the beautiful colors!!
Mr. Armstrong used to go outside his home when the ice cream truck would go by and buy all the kids a ice cream cone. What a kind person....fits the song.
He was a gift
The whole world loved this Father of us all!
A true gentleman and incredible talent ❤❤
Per me anche il più grande cantante di jazz!
I grew up in the 90s but my father played music from the 40s to 70s every single day from afternoon til we sleep. This song was my lullaby.
I'm so glad you reacted to this. Louis Armstrong (aka: Sachmo) was the most influential musician in jazz music. Early on (in the 1930's) his style influenced more jazz musicians, and more jazz music than anyone else in that genre. If you were to listen to any classic jazz music, more than likely there will be some influence from Louis. You should watch the Ken Burns documentary "Jazz".
You're right. He was one of a kind.❤
Mr Louis Armstrong the best horn player and greatest jazz performer he was
Gone but never forgotten!!! He played the trumpet ❤😁
