Louis Armstrong is, simply put, the most important American musician who has ever lived. Louis Armstrong was born in an area of New Orleans that was so violent it was known as The Battlefield. Yet he would grow up to become America's Jazz Ambassador and influence every musician, singer and songwriter that would cone after him. "West End Blues" is a pivotal record from the 1920's. "Heebie-jeebie Blues" is the record that gave us "Scat" singing. Louis Armstrong tells the story of dropping the lyric page and the head of the label indicates that he keep going.
Summertime and the living is easy Fish are jumpin & the cotton is high, oh your daddy’s rich and your mama’s good looking, so hush little baby, don’t you cry 🎵 So haunting
Ella’s my favorite and she and Louie are iconic & amazing! Ella’s voice is like a beautiful instrument and Louie Wow! There’s a great bio on Ella on Netflix! ❤❤

Perfect atmosphere to match the lyrics. And those voices!

I just adore Ella. Her voice is pristine...her range, her sense of rhythm, her tone...
They didn't call her The First Lady of Song for no reason.
There just isn't music from the American Songbook like this anymore. Lost in the dust of time. Such a shame. Keep the music alive Stan Good work!
It isn’t lost as long as we are listening!
Louis Armstrong, my first musical love❤❤❤
More Wonderful...
I’ve been listening to this song for years (I’m 66) and my comment is I’m speechless
