My grandpa would say “Listen to the words. This a Black man, in America, singing about the beauty and simplicities of life, during a time our people were fighting for Civil Rights. Louis Armstrong showed the world that Black people could still find the beauty of life in such an ugly environment ”. He showed our grace, through his presence and voice.

When I was 16 years old, I was obsessed with jazz, and I loved Louis Armstrong. One summer evening, I went to a concert featuring Mr. Armstrong and a singer named Velma Middleton. I had written a theme paper for school, on the history of jazz in America, and was hoping to ask Mr. Armstrong to sign my paper. I spoke with an usher after the concert explaining my hopes. He returned after a few minutes and asked me to follow him. I was ushered into Mr. Armstrong's dressing room, and he asked everybody to clear the room ...except for me. We had a long interview (about 30 minutes) after which he signed my paper. The greatest thrill of my then short life. Later in life, I was a Concert promoter and was privileged to meet many wonderful artists, including the Great Ella Fitzgerald. Mr. Armstrong was not only a marvelous talent but was more importantly a kind and gracious Human Being.

There is nobody like old Satchmo. I have heard 2 versions of the origin of his nickname which was short for Satchelmouth. One is just that he had a large mouth as evidenced by that mile wide grin. The other says that as a kid he used to sing and dance for pennies on the street, and to keep the bigger kids from stealing his money he would keep it in his mouth until he was safely home. He has been heard in the soundtracks of a few movies and he also was in movies himself, He also did a cameo appearance in the film Hello Dolly where he sang the title song along with Barbra Streisand. You should check that out too. So much great music to listen to. Enjoy. Oh and this really will be a brilliant choice for Luca's first introduction to this wonderful world. Stay well guys.

"Gone Fishin'" is a duet Louis Armstrong did with arguably the original crooner (Bing Crosby). Other Louis Armstrong favorites are "When the Saints Go Marching In," "Hello Dolly," "Sweet Georgia Brown," "Jeepers Creepers." "La Vie en Rose." Yes, I would definitely put Louis more in the jazz category (rather than calling him a crooner), but then Louis did everything well. Basically, the crooner legacy starts with Al Jolson, who inspired Bing Crosby. Bing was really the first crooner though (as Jolson was more brash and brassy). The crooner style is really about an intimacy with the microphone (and therefore the listening audience). Before Bing, singers projected and belted more, or had a more operatic tone (often very technical). Bing sang almost as if he was just talking to (or wooing) his listeners. Bing then inspired a number of Big Band (Swing) singers. You should check out some Big Band music too. If Amber loves horns, you need to listen to some Glenn Miller Band/Orchestra. One of those young band singers was Frank Sinatra (who started out singing with the Harry James Band and then the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, before going solo). Frank took Bing's style and made it his own...and sexier. Frank gave birth to the Bobby-soxer generation (the young girls at the time who loved the crooners---made them teen idols. The name comes from the short "bobby" socks they wore, as was style at the time). Frank became huge. And then pretty much all crooners after that were influenced by Frank (dubbed the "Chairman of the Board"). Later, in the 50s and 60s, Frank had a group of friends known as the "Rat Pack." It included Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr., most prominently. They would often perform together in Las Vegas and even made a handful of movies. Would love to see you check out one of the "Rat Pack" performances too. A lot of swag with that group of guys.

He was a master trumpeter as well as possessing that unique voice. He had many well-known songs though this is the most famous. But he also had an enormous hit with Hello Dolly. He collaborated often with the brilliant Ella Fitzgerald, her silky smoothness complimented his gravelly delivery. They recorded an album together in the 50's called simply Ella & Louis which is chockful of gorgeous duets both up tempo and ballads. Any or all of them are worth seeking out.

One of the most profound comments I have ever heard about Louis singing this song was from a man from a middle eastern tribe who did not even know English who said, "He sings with a wonderful smile on this face and a saddness in his eyes. Louis was one of those early Black musicians who were not allowed to stay in the hotels where they performed. Yet he kept giving. He was so much more courageous than just his smile reveals. Look into his eyes. Every performer of color owes a debt of gratitude to Louis Armstrong.

I'm french (53 yrs) and Louis Armstrong was the favorite artist of my father. From my earliest childhood I was lulled to his music. Papa, if you see me from up there, tell Louis to throw us a little "When You're Smiling (The Whole World Smiles With You)" or "La vie en rose" or "C'est si bon"... :) For the little history, the title you speak from Disney Movie is "Louis Armstrong - Bare Necessities" from "The Jungle Book" ;) You should try "Ben l'Oncle Soul feat the Monophonics - Why can't i let go - Live - HD" ...you'll be amazed by this singer!

Song was in many movies over the years. Good Morning Vietnam is the first to pop into my head at the moment. Grew up listening to him and many of the other greats. Quite the crooner.

@@karenboshier7430 Hello, The song was covered by Louis Armstrong and recorded on February 27, 1968 ;) And I think, I'm not sure of course, which Jay is speaking of this song. In fact Louis recorded an entire album of Disney's song recollection outed in 1968 called "Disney Songs - The Satchmo Way". The two most famous covers of this album are "The Bare necessities" from "The Jungle Book" and "When You Wish Upon A Star" from "Pinocchio".

Not long before my precious Mom passed away, I heard her singing this song. It was playing in a commercial on television. I stood in the hall and listened to her. I had tears streaming 😭 down my face. I am so grateful for that sweet precious gift! That trip to see her was the last one. She passed away quickly and unexpectedly a few months later. Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song 🎶 ❤

I LOVE this song. It makes you remember to stop and smell the roses. It reminds you that even though we keep seeing a lot of darkness in the world, we always have something to be greatful for and that the beauty is there if you just stop to take a look. When I see a rainbow, I still stop and stare in awe at the beauty we have been given. Wake up early and watch the sun rise or the sunset or both :) We are all blessed, we just often dont realize it cause life gets in the way.

This has GOT to be THE feel good song. It should be played to people with depression. How can you not just smile with joy or bliss when you hear this? I'm so glad you liked it Jay and Amber. And yes, little Luca may not appreciate it at the time of his birth, but what a wonderful introduction to the world.

This was MY mom and dad's music when I was growing up. I constantly harped that if I had problems falling asleep, they could play Armstrong, Sinatra, Nat King Cole, no problem falling asleep now! As I matured, naturally, I developed appreciation, yes admiration. Blueberry Hill would be a terrific follow up! I can almost hear my dad (now passed), whistling along as he did the dishes!

Louis can be considered one of the most important and influential figures in Music, his personality transcends Jazz. Hear him play with his friend, the legend Duke Ellington, on the version of "Black and Tan Fantasy" they recorded for the Great Summit Recordings album. There's a Clarinet line in there that slays me every time.

I love Louis Armstrong “Satchmo”! This man is a legend! This song always makes me cry! He was mostly acknowledged for his Trumpet playing but I love his voice too! I love watching old movies with him in them like High Society in which he shares the screen with “crooners” Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby! ❤️❤️
