If you're ever in New York City, visit Louis Armstrong's house in Corona Queens where you can not only see where he lived but here recordings of him as if you were visiting his family. A great performer and a great human being.

Cold empty bed, springs hard as lead Feel like old Ned, wished I was dead What did I do to be so black and blue? Even the mouse ran from my house They laugh at you, and scorn you too What did I do to be so black and blue? I'm white inside, but that don't help my case 'Cause I can't hide what is in my face How would it end? Ain't got a friend My only sin is in my skin What did I do to be so black and blue?

Imo this is the best version he did of this song. He knows what it feels like to be black and blue and he still sings it with wide eyes and a huge grin and it swells me with happiness for his fame and successes.
What a beautiful song and performance by probably the most widely loved musical performer in the modern Western world.
Louis, you are a beloved legend for the ages. You, sir, will live on forever and never be forgotten. I’ve taught my son about you and what you mean to our culture-and all culture. We love you

This brings tears to my eyes. My people been through so much. My heart breaks.
Listen to the depth of feeling Louie has in his voice and trumpet; at home, back in America (in 1965), his people were being set on by dogs and knocked down by fire hoses. He sings "what he knows of". Of course, there was plenty of BS going on in Berlin at that time too. Thank God the 60s gave us all wings!!!!!
Such a wonderful man! So genuine and caring about everyone. Truly magnificence at its best. His message is needed now more than ever.
Man, it would have been a blast to be able to play alongside Louis
Got this song and a whole lot of other Louie Armstrong songs on cassette tape and CD back in the 90s. This is an incredible deep moving song. Says so much especially for the time that song was written,sang and preformed. And still says so much for this present day WOW!
Magnificent. It's always a real treat to see and hear The Guv'ner.
Quelle voix Mr Armstrong!Je m’en l’as pas d’écouter ce morceau .Parmi Les Plus Grand !
Poignant. Sublime. Majesty.
I love how he's just smiling the whole time😊
His powerful voice is combined with the goosebumps giving lyrics so strong, that it needs all instruments to keep quiet, just to bring the full spectre of emotions to us. What a genious of music he has been!!!

1. He didn't ask God why he created him "black" and/or "blue". 2. We're God's masterpiece. 3. No one ever said "black" is ugly. Not even by race superiority bigots. Everything has some kind of "black" built-in. 4. Black peole are also treated like "thrash" by so called "Black people". 5. There is no one ugly on earth. It's the individual beauty that has been ignored. 6. The old devil has no power. We're giving him all the credits by our own doing. We keep lying to ourselves so we can feel no guilt.

I had an instructor when I was first learning trumpet and my lesson mate who played trombone listen to a version of this masterpiece in our session. He said to us "guys listen to how clean and precise Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Glenn are". He also said "don't get wrapped up in the performance, these men have been playing together for a long time". He said to me "listen to Mr. Armstrong and his technique, the way he plays each note like it is the most important note in that passage". He said to my mate "listen to Mr. Glenn how even when he is sliding the note it is precise and clean." "I want you guys to be that way, precise and clean". We were kind of blown away to tell the truth we never listen to our self's like that before. Then later on our instructor asked us to play in a summer jazz band he had for his students. I played trumpet of course, my mate was the trombone player, we had a clarinet and a drummer. We couldn't believe how hard this was to play and how easy these men made it sound. Sure we had a very pared down version of this but for us it was still pretty difficult. We worked all summer and when school started in the fall he had us give a session to our other band mates. WOW, was that fun, we were amazed, they were amazed and I'm pretty sure he was amazed with us.Thank You Mr. S. rest in peace you earned it! Be well and safe peace to you and yours.

Depuis mon enfance. Je suis avec Louis
Louis was a far more sophisticated musician than people know. He wrote this and "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans" as personal pieces. If you know a trumpeter in his mid-sixties, hell in his mid-twenties, ask him to play just the ending of this piece. Then realize that Louis played that way, and higher, on every piece in every concert for almost sixty years. Jaw dropping!
@MrKlemps
Жыл бұрын
Actually Pops performed those two songs a great deal and contributed to their popularity but he did not compose them. Fats Waller wrote "Black and Blue" and Eddie DeLange wrote "Do You Know What it Means..." Trumpet playing here is just enormous, magisterial, and the entire Berlin Concert from 1965 is available on KZread. This is the last available example in which Pops, who was just beginning to get really ill, really sounds like his total self. Even as late, though, as the January 1971 performance at the National Press Club, to accompanying Johnny Cash on the latter's television show around the same time, the essence of his tone is still unmistakable.
This is absolutely incredible, shame there is nothing these days like this :(

Someone sang this last night in class and the lyrics captivated me. I thought I was the only one that was moved by the how deep the words cut, but the instructor said that the words brought him to the brink of tears. The song speaks to the plight that many of us face for the mere fact of being. It transcends race and the confines of argument by speaking the truth with nonsensical scat to boot. It is as relevant today as it was, I am sure, back then. The trumpet intro reminded me of a funeral in New Orleans I once witnessed. The tragic death march of the living- a heavy burdened shuffle while the tears flow to remind us that even in the face of death and adversity, we dance. That even while we mourn the injustice of it all, we sing....even if we have to shout the blues. Thanks for the post
