Pops is one of my favorites, he was a national treasure

Satchmo was and still remains an influence. RIP MR. ARMSTRONG

This song is beautiful, only Mr. Armstrong could do this song justice, he sounds like a grandfather telling his grandchildren a story through his eyes. I used to sing this song to my girls some time's while tucking them into bed at night, I sang it to my grandkids as well.

what a beautiful soul. Love radiation. Iconic song.

From the age of seven he lived with a family of Lithuanian Jews who took him in and treated him like family. He was fluent in Yiddish and wore a Star of David until the end of his life in their memory.

With the world being as it is..we NEED more of this to remind us-:THE WORLD IS STILL WONDERFUL! Lets never forget the SUNSHINE in our lives.. or we ve wasted a gift from GOD!.. and that would be a shame .. and a sin!! -im 65 now!!it goes by soo fast..dont have regrets at the end! Thankx harry. Needed this one!👍👍🤓🤓🙏🙏

His voice started that way from a cold that he made worse playing in open areas. He later had surgery to try and fix and it made his voice worse. Personally I like his voice. Also I’d recommend listening to some of the songs he performed with Ella Fitzgerald. Fantastic.

His voice, unmistakable! Every time he sung, you just feel the emotion…a bygone era

The only thing greater than his voice was his smile! An all-time American legend.

Without music it would not be a wonderful world. This song invokes deep, deep emotions of what we could do or be if we set our minds to it.

This song is timeless! It has meaning in every decade since it came out, and true today, still. Very few songs are timeless, but they become the greatest.

The grandpa we all wish we had... YES. Ol' Satchmo was better known as a Jazz trumpet player, but he also had a few songs that he sang on that he was known for. "Hello Dolly" from the musical movie was another big song he sang on, and it went to #1.

Interestingly, Carol Channing also had a very unusual voice.

One of the most beautiful songs ever played and the spoken words are needed more than ever in today’s crazy world!! Thanks for your reaction

No less true today than it was when it was recorded 50 years ago

You can hear that beautiful smile in the song

That is a touching start to this song. I agree whole heartedly

God was getting in louis soul spoke this to us

There's just something so sweet about Louis Armstrong!!

New Orleans born and raised , Louis Armstrong . Legend !

I wish I could give this a million thumbs up 👍

Louis Armstrong a legend- he has a voice that can bring the world 🌎 together

Love the intro, beautiful song most wish he was your grandfather .

Love this. The world is in need of love right now. People everywhere should listen to his words and promote love not hate. We are all in this one world.

Your Going To Love Louie

I think this is the greatest recording of all time

He was such a happy warm hearted man, and amazing singer.

I JUST LOVE HIM!!!!! BLESSINGS FOREVER!!!!!!

The man was a legend of music and a top class human being

Cette chanson est la plus belle des chansons que j'ai entendu, la musique la voix très grave de louis, chaque fois que je l'entends les frissons me parcours, le jour de mon dernier souffle cette chanson va m'accompagner

have never heard this intro before either brother...He was a beautiful human ...always loved Satchmo...Ty Harri

My grandpa had an old Louis Armstrong 78 record from the 1920's that I liked when I was a teenager. What a friendly wise man Louis was.

You gotta do We have all the time in the world by Louis. The smile just lifts your heart you are bang on Harri

I get chills everytime I hear this, love Louis 💘

Louis Armstrong. Always made me feel like everything would be OK, cuz he said it was so in song.

I’ve never heard this version before…it’s so beautiful! 😢

One of the greatest human beings to ever exist. The strongest cornet player on the face of the earth and he just holds his instrument and sings. My absolute favorite.

every one should be made to listen to this song

Was für eine stimme!!!!!🥰👏👏👏

@@bobr4987 I will check it out, her version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is beautiful too. Geez, any song by her is great!

One of my favorite punk rock singer, Joey Ramone, covered this song just before he passed.

Louis Armstrong's legendary career spanned five decades of his 69 years on earth. His contributions to and influences on jazz are incalculable. Later in life, as you show here, he became one of the greatest entertainers of all time all over the world. Rest in peace, Pops!

Please react to Louis' "What did I do to be Black and Blue?" He was a powerhouse in the civil rights movement.

Heart to heart nothing like it stranger to stranger

A very good choice of songs. I wish more people would think seriously about the intro and the lyrics of the song. We can all do something to make the world better if only we will.

Great choice

i saw louie armstrong get laid to rest thru the fence at flushing cemetery ,in july 1971 ,i was 14,a great man

That smile just makes me smile.

At the New Years Eve celebration in Times Square, NYC, they play a few songs to end the event after the ball drops and the fireworks start. They play this song by Louis. Tears are in my eyes. I remember when I first heard it on the radio as a young teen. Oh God.

this song was played at my nanas funeral when I heard it playing i just lost it as i remember her singing it to me its still hard to listen too it perfectly summed up how she loved life

Thank you. Love Satchmo

Excellent song so beautiful

There are certain voices that invoke a sense of timelessness, and Satchmo was absolutely one of the most iconic voices ever. This song is a blessing, and you are correct -- I wish he was my grandfather too!!! Thankyou for this video. Much respect.

What a beautiful version. His nickname was Satchmo and he did not have an easy life. Despite his hardships in childhood and beyond, he maintained that joyful demeanor.

Thank you for this review. Always idolized the man.

POPS. EVERYTIME ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👈

Such a beautiful song. One of my favorites ❤ ♥

Hello Dolly & When the Saints Come Marching In. Not sure why a 7-8 year old would white kid be drawn to him at such an early age. Also loved Judy Garland! The British Invasion happened and my old favorites took a back seat for awhile. Love this man! Thanks so much for posting!

The Great Louie Armstrong nothing else needs to be said.

Fantastic classic. ♥️🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦

You are so right about that intro.

This song has been featured in several movies. The one I always think of is "Goodmorning Vietnam" with Robin Williams as it's one of my fav movies. But it's sad & this song makes it bittersweet as it shows us bombing Vietnamese camps with women & children.

Thank you for your reaction

Love your reaction, Harri. It is a perfect song from an amazing human being.

Such wise words by Satchmo! You nailed this one Harri ! Never heard this version, thank you, thank you :)

I had never heard that monolog either. Thank you.

I love you Harry!

Harri, Before Joey Ramone died he recorded a version of this song. Joey Ramone - What A Wonderful World - KZread

You got it right, Harri

LOVE is the key!

Fond memories of Uncle Satchmo, first record I ever owned (age 6?) His lullaby and Bells of the night.

You can get some insight on Mr. Armstrong by viewing his appearance on The Dick Cavette Show on KZread.

This song plays an ironic part in the movie "Good Morning, Vietnam!" starring Robin Williams (1987, Touchstone).

To me, he was so elegant and stalwart and incredibly talented. That song can change your mood in a hurry. Thanks, Hari.

Enjoy your show much!

Great song...loved the intro too....sachmo was great

❤️❤️❤️

Another timeless classic 💖

☮️💜

His energy touches you. Kind, loving.

Hey pops? I'd call him SIR

A while back, you were surprised to hear a song from an old advert pop up. Well, on that theme react to "Mad About the Boy" sung by the great Dinah Washington. Dinah was a huge influence on the young Aretha Franklin and much later on the young Amy Winehouse. Some other great songs by Dinah would be "What a Difference a Day Made" and September in the Rain". In many ways, Dinah bridged the gap between her contemporaries - Ella Fitzgerald/Sarah Vaughan, for example - and the emerging soul singers of the late 50s/early60s.

Timeless, eternal, never to be forgotten, or diminished in impact. 💖👏👏✌😘🎶🎺💞

Thiele and Weiss wrote the song. I hope they both had a delicious life, Louie, too. Really good, Harri. Thx

This song hits me in my heart every time I hear it. I’m 69 so I’ve always heard it during my years growing up. This intensifies the emotion. Great man.

Harri, are you thinking of the Nobel Peace Prize?

Wow Harri......thanks for sharing!

This song sung by Louie Armstrong always, always makes me teary eyed because he was a wonderful person and a great entertainer. He was a such a beautiful human being. And that voice & trumpet!!!

I sing this song to myself whenever I’m having one of “those” days. Whenever things are getting on top of me I try to find somewhere quiet and sing this song to myself, really think about the words and what they say. It reminds me that in spite of any bad things that might be going on, it really is a wonderful world.

This version is the best . Brother IZ does a version of this that is just as emotional as somewhere over the rainbow. It would be great to see you react to that .

Simply wonderful! Armstrong, with his personal unique voice, became this song a classic that is a pleasure to listen to over and over again

Beautiful I’ve always loved that song

It is interesting information from Roger Oran's comment. Louis Armstrong performed in countless smoky nightclubs and concert halls, and had to breathe in decades of heavy industrial pollution during the 20th Century. All of that surely also contributed to his gravelly voice later in his musical career. It has been reported that Louis Armstrong also smoked marijuana after his concerts, which cannot be good for his voice, either.

One fantastic song by a Great singer?? A true Original 😎👍🌎🌏🌍✌💞💘🙏☺

I agree, Harri-he is the grandpa that we all wish that we had. He just brought joy & that's something that not everyone can do.

Hello Harri! You should do "Runaway" by Del Shannon from 1961. A hit Rock song from that time. Thanks!

A repeat comment but it's impossible not to love Louie and this song should be the worlds national anthem.

😭😭

A true Classic. So simple yet so powerful.

What a man, what a talent. Thanks for letting us hear it once more.

That intro WAS beautiful. And so needed right now!!

I love his speaking and singing voice.
