Louis invented modern singing, and all singers since owe a huge debt to him they don't even know. But his influence on music -- not just jazz -- was even greater. He is by far the most influential American musician of all time, and maybe the most influential since Bach and Beethoven.

Pronounced Looee, not Louis, he was a national treasure. He brought so much joy to people over his career. He was a great Jazz trumpeter and people just gravitated to his voice. He had an unusual voice, but there is so much passion and feeling in his wording and his smile would light up a whole room.

I'm from Los Angeles. One day when I was probably 13 years old I was buying some candy at our local market and while I was standing in line waiting for my turn I looked at the person who was a couple of people ahead of me purchasing something when I realized it was Satchmo. I was all Starstruck and couldn't believe that he was at our local market. I didn't say anything to him I just stood there with my jaw dropped in awe.

He’s one of the artists Stevie Wonder was paying tribute to in “Sir Duke.” Great trumpet player.

Referred to in the song by Stevie as Satchmo, after his childhood nickname. It was a shortening of ‘satchel mouth’ as Louis had such a wide smile. The godfather of Jazz and rightly revered.

One of a kind song...i have heard many versions...this is still the greatest

Armstrong was an icon. A true legend. His 1964 recording of “Hello, Dolly” (from the musical “Hello, Dolly”) was the song that knocked the Beatles out of their string of #1 songs-and made Armstrong the oldest artist in history to achieve a #1 hit. He was 63 at the time. His musicianship, skill and expertise are unmatched. His legacy will always be as one of the true greats in American music history.

You like the way he sings, should hear him play that horn bruh.

This guy was an icon and boy could he play the trumpet. Loved him as a youngster. One of the few black artists of his time that outshone other performers. We used to try and mimic his voice as a kid but it hurt. Saw the movie High Society in which he performed with Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly, most knew his name as Satchmo.

Armstrong was total class. When he made an appearance on any show, it upgraded the spirit of the presentation. Frankly, I was always glad to see him.

No one is like Louise Armstrong, very unique voice. Walt Disney loved his voice

He is a legend! You should hear his music on the trumpet. Before singing, he was a musician. In fact, they originally told Louis not to sing because of his unusual voice, but then Louis took a risk and the people loved him! There’s two documentaries on KZread to check out his history, but this song is my favorite and brings tears to my eyes because of how much emotion and beauty comes out of his voice and lyrics 😭💜

Louis Armstrong was a jazz trumpeter, bandleader and singer known for ... During this time, Armstrong adopted a three-year-old boy named Clarence. ... In 1967, Armstrong recorded a new ballad, "What a Wonderful World.

When I tell people that Louis is one of my favorite artists of all times, They're like "WHAT". This man is a legend and an icon.
