Louis Daniel Armstrong was born in the Storyville district of New Orleans on the 4 August 1901. The date over Louis's birth has caused much controversy in recent years. Louis maintained that he was born on the 4 July 1900, the first Independence day of the new century. This was taken to be fact by the wider world until in 1983 a baptism certificate was found belonging to a Louis Daniel Armstrong from a church at 139 South Lopez St New Orleans just a few blocks away from Louis's neighbourhood. It is likely Louis himself was probably unaware of this mistake and all the leading experts now generally accept that Louis was born on this day. It was a custom for many poor blacks unaware of their birthdays to adopt a famous or significant date such as this on which to cel More...

What a Wonderful World | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song What a Wonderful World performed by Louis Armstrong This song has to be one of my all time favorites. It speaks of all the love we all have around us. little known fact :) | Reviewer: crystal ------ About the song Lazy River performed by Louis Armstrong I am a huge fan of Armstrong and love listening to his music. I was listening to this song on my computer suddenly thought back to the Ken Burns' documentary "Jazz" (awesome). In this song, the second verse is the first and only verse. A historian (Paul Glaser?) was talking about Armstrong recording this very song. The history goes that Armstrong was recording the song with sheet music in hand. By the last line of the 1st verse, the sheet music fell on the floor. So Armstrong had to improvise. He scatted. He recorded: Up a lazy river where the old mill run That lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun Linger in the shade of that fine ole tree Throw away your troubles, dream a dream of me, dream a dream of me Up a lazy river where the robin's song Wakes up in the mornin', as we roll along Blue skies up above ....everyone's in love Up a lazy river, how happy we will be, now (instrumental break) (this is also where the sheet music was dropped) He (Armstrong) laughs and says: if i aint rippin' this evenin' i hope. (continues to scat) (plays trumpet to end) Thanks for posting lyrics from the jazz greats. Please continue. other time | Reviewer: soulicious ------ About the song What a Wonderful World performed by Louis Armstrong this song reminds my gramp too .. i miss him so much .. now he flies with angels ! Loss of Paige Nicholas Kerbawy | Reviewer: Kierin Kerbawy ------ About the song What a Wonderful World performed by Louis Armstrong This song "What A Wonderful World" reminds me of my grandfather, Paige Nicholas Kerbawy. This song is enchanting and an inspiration and also a touching moment. Sometimes I will ask my father, Colin "are you thinking about your dad"? This song is so powerful and spirited. One of the greats | Reviewer: Dan Goorevitch ------ About the song Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans performed by Louis Armstrong One of the greats of 20th century (or is it late 19th) American music. The melody is enchanting; it, the lyric and the rhythm are all a piece. Wonderful key changes, surprising series of descending half-tones and, the way Louis sang it, great rhythmic stuff, sudden unexpected triplets that drive the meaning of the song deep into the heart. But I hear the lyric this way (could just be a different recording since I'm not quoting from the published lyric): Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans, to I miss it both night and day I know it’s not wrong this feelin's gettin' stronger the longer I stay away Miss the moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines where mockin' birds used to sing And I'd like to see that lazy Mississippi a’hurryin' into spring Oh, The moonlight on the bayou, a Creole tune that fills the air I dream of Oleander in bloom and find I'm wishin' that I was there Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans? 'cause that's where I left my heart And there's something more I miss the one I care for More than I miss New Orleans. the song of my life | Reviewer: Lorenzo ------ About the song Fantastic, That's You performed by Louis Armstrong it's a slow, sad and rassignated song that goes straight to your heart with tears that cross your cheeks and a lot of melancholy.... a love that is not possible because she doesn't like you...and you come back home,sad.. May Well Be the Greatest Jazz Ballad of All Time | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song You Go To My Head performed by Louis Armstrong This song, as executed by Pops, is spine tingling. The instrumental lead-in is flawless, backe by a quartet that includes Oscar Peterson and Ray Brown. The vocal is full of emotion that is reminiscent of one who has known what it was to want someone desperately. Simply put, an outstanding performance all the way around.
