What a great legend. Louis Armstrong was an American trumpeter & vocalist going back to the 20's-60's. His career spanned five decades & he is considered one of the most influential figures in jazz. He was known for his gravelly raspy deep voice & he was good at scat singing. Love his version of "Hello Dolly" from the movie with the same name starring Barbra Streisand in 1969.

This song makes me think that you of my daddy. When he was dying of cancer, when people would ask him if he was mad that he was reaching the end he would say, "I've seen my children grow to good people, I've held all my grandchildren in my arms, and my wife is well provided for. What more can a man ask for?"

@@waylondurocher738 Thank you. It is okay. I've always tried not to mourn the deaths of those I love, but rather to celebrate the blessing of their memories by living a good and happy life.

It`s amazing to me that anyone wouldn`t know this song and singer but still... better late than never. This is one of the classic performances by any singer of any song. It has been used in so many movies and advertisements over the decades that it`s almost a cliche but somehow never seems to loose any of it`s magic.

NOBODY can sing this song like this man. It grabs your heart.

Louis Armstrong was an iconic entertainer for decades. He performed for many American Presidents, the Queen of England, was inducted in to the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the New Orleans's main airport was renamed Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, his early jazz recordings have been preserved in the Library of Congress and in 1995 a U.S. postage stamp with his picture playing his legendary trumpet was issued honoring American Jazz composer, trumpeter, and singer Louis Armstrong.

He was deservedly internationally famous and loved. Nobody llke him, his trumpet alone was beautifully played and instantly recognisable. He was in "High Society," "The Five Pennies," "Hello Dolly." Sang with Ella Fitzgerald... huge career, he had to fight hard for. His nickname is Satchmo, have a good look at the damage to his top lip, from playing his trumpet so much.

A timeless classic by Louis who was phenomenal as a performer. His trumpet was magical

Yep! It’s always been a very popular song. It’s been in movies and commercials. I always think of him smiling when he sings it. Wish more songs were this feel-good and lovely.

What an entertainer, singer, trumpeter. 🤯

He was an national treasure. Of all the movies he was in, and performances he gave, this was always my favorite. His name was pronounced "looee" and his nickname was "Satchmo". Sure miss him. RIP Satchmo"

What I loved most about this song is it's positive vibe....we need more positive in life 🥰

He was an amazing artist! I love him! He broke a lot of barriers in his day as well! It very well could have been in a movie or commercial that you saw. It's probably his most famous song.

Perhaps one of the most important American artists, and the whole world loved him too

Ahhhh....Louie Armstrong!!! Is there anybody out there who doesn't have a smile on their face when watching this sweet man singing? I love him so much! Yes, Adogg, you've heard this in many movies & at many weddings! It's a wonderful song!

*You can't listen to this song without smiling. And you definitely can't watch him sing this song without smiling even bigger.*

This song has been in commercials as well as movies. It has been around.

It was used in the movie GOOD MORNING VIETNAM. Louis (pronounced Louie, he was from Louisiana & that's the French pronunciation) Armstrong was a marvelous talent! His big, fantastic smile just makes you happy inside.

A Beautiful song sung by very talented man , that smile could melt snow

One of the pioneers of jazz. I hope to see more.

I'm 62 and every time I hear this it brings tears of pure joy to my eyes I love this song ❤️❤️❤️ and I love Louis Armstrong❤

This man's voice was an absolute jewel. His Christmas songs were awesome too

Him doing this song always makes me so happy that my eyes start watering.

Straight from his beautiful heart ❤

Good Morning Vietnam was one of the movies.

I absolutely LOVE watching you react to songs you’ve never or are knowledgeable with. The smile on your face is priceless! Lewis “Louee” Armstrong is certainly a NATIONAL TREASURE!!! LadyGator1983🐊🐊🐊

He is one of my favorite artists. Check out hello dolly from him

My Granny loved Louis (she said Louie)Armstrong, so we were raised with this. How beautiful. Also on the faces of people passing by!

Louis Armstrong is one of my favorite musicians of all time. I can listen to him all day long and never, ever get bored. He is a legend and a national treasure. Louis was known as a singer, but much more for his trumpet. Personally, I like his much earlier music from the 1920's and 30's. Look up songs like "Black & Blue", "That's When I'll Come Back To You", or "S. O. L. Blues". Or just search "Louis Armstrong Bing Crosby Now You Has Jazz". You won't be disappointed.

Got me crying like a new born over here 😭😂 Now if we could get the rest of the World to be as happy and grateful, What a wonderful world it would be indeed ✌️💛🤘

A legendary man singing a legendary song. ❤❤❤❤❤

The 1st time I heard Luis Armstrong, it was "Hello Dolly." Check it out next!!

Out of the Big Easy, Satchmo (the name equated to Big mouth - a satchel is a big bag, mo being short for mouth, and Louis Armstrong did have a huge grin) was a jazz trumpet player and vocalist. It would be rewarding for you to give a listen to his instrumental prowess - he was a world-class trumpet player.

FYI the S is silent in his name. The legend that is Louis Armstrong 😎 Check out his duet with Barbara Streisand, Hello Dolly 👍

I cry every time I hear this. There will never be another Louis Armstrong ever again. Such a legend!

One of the best!! This song has also been in a commercial. Louis can't be topped in talent. You'll never hear anyone better.

No matter how many covers of this song are made, his will always be *the* version for me.

My Dad used to love this song. He had a super deep melodic voice and he;d sing this as he was cooking or tinkering with some dismantled bit of tech on the kitchen table. We played it at his funeral - the last song played as we all filed out past the coffin. His coffin entered the chapel to the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and we ended with What a Wonderful World

I don't think I'll ever be able to hear this song without feeling about ten different emotions. What a wonderful song!

This song was in "Good Morning Viet, Nam", among others. A beautiful song by a beautiful man.

A Beautiful song. 👍

How do you NOT feel good listening to this song? You literally hear his smile! 😊

Love this... He was a legend & I love hearing & watching him ❤️

I loved Louis Armstrong. There will never be another like him, ever. ❤️❤️❤️

This should become a song that people play out in the open on every musical mechanism that they can it should become an anthem for our country😊❤

This song was played in a commercial several years ago.

He was a treasure. Unique and wonderful.

Old Satchmo ❤I love Louis Armstrong, always have. It’s a very old iconic song, you’re probably thinking of the movie Good Morning Vietnam with Robin Williams, brilliant soundtrack to a brilliant movie. ♥️

YESSAAAA!!!! Louis Armstrong!!!! The classic Blues Goat with the Happiest song ever!!! This is absolutely one of my favorite songs ever!!

I love Louis Armstrong. I love this song. It makes me cry.

Watch one with Louis singing AND blowing his trumpet. Fantastic

Louie Armstrong was a legend. There is a beautiful Statue of him New Orleans he's was wonderful man.

This man was a treasure both musically and as a person for certain! ALWAYS LOVED THIS TUNE AND THE SINGER/MUSICIAN AS WELL AS HIS MESSAGE!!! He seemed to be telling us all to get along!! In other words; he was saying; "People are people; get your heads out of your rear ends!!!" Life is beuatiful for everyone if we will allow it no matter your race!! Men and women, no matter race can all get along and live in harmony. This man lived in the time that this was true. I did as well. Chaos and confusion today is making this so much more difficult. People don't seem to know who or what they are these days. It is very disheartening and discusting!!!

One of the most beautiful songs ever written and sang ❣️

I smile all the way through this song every time I hear it. ❤❤❤❤

Not only does the song touch your heart but his smile as well.

I am sure it has been in other movies, but the first one I remember is Robin Williams "Good Morning Vietnam"

I was played on commercial too. He isOne of the best!! A legend. Great trumpet player.

I loved him!! He always looked so happy!! R.I.P.

Great Classic by the great Louis Armstrong!❤️

One of the most extraordinary songs of all times.

Thank you for this reaction. Louie was definitely great. Love his voice, his passion and he was a wonderful person.

I've never smiled that big! I don't think I could.

Pure magic and a voice like silk, so smooth! His smile was a pure delight to behold!

I love this man, he is a master trumpeter, and his voice is as soothing as a warm fire with a soft snuggly blanket and a cup of hot chocolate ☕🔥🎺 grew up listening to Louis Armstrong, and my children grew up listening to Louis. Now my grandchildren are listening to his wonderful songs. This is a performance from the movie "Now You Has Jazz - Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong - From the film "High Society" and it is also a 1956 soundtrack album featuring Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra and Grace Kelly. This was Crosby's fifth LP album, and it was the soundtrack for the MGM feature film "High Society" also a great movie...in case you're curious and want to check it out. Lovely reaction, wonderful memories thanks for sharing adogg🔥💖👍🎶

This is the most famous version of this song and so many people who were born after he passed away will only get to know this wonderful artist through his recordings he was also a fabulous trumpet player as you can see in this video he’s holding his trumpet you need to listen to his trumpet playing and yes they did use bits and pieces of this song and sometimes the entire songIn many different movies over the decades

It was in "Good Morning Vietnam"

What a wonderful song by Louis!

THIS WAS MY DADDYS SONG..AND MR ARMSTRONGS GRIN ..WAS SO MUCH LIKE MY DADS ..I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE HAD THE FATHER THAT I HAD.. EVEN IF I WASNT BIOLOGICALLY HIS...GOD CALLED U HOME PAPI WHEN I WAS 13, I'M NOW 50..BUT I MISS U EVERYDAY,AND THANK U SO MUCH FOR BEING SUCH AN AMAZING FATHER ❤

Louis Armstrong "Dinah" 1933. When you listen, you will hear the "rap" in it. Extraordinary!

This wonderful song was played in the background in "Good Morning, Vietnam."

He always ends his songs with his signature "Oh, Yeah". I've been listening to Satchmo since I'm 3 years old, 1951. Somewhere on KZread that is a video of him singing with the late great Mahalia Jackson.

One of the all-time great entertainers of the 20th century. How could anyone not know who he was?

he was buried in my hometown of flushing ny,i watched thru the fence as a 14 year old in july 1971 RIP SATCHMO

This song always makes me tear up 💜💜💜

Louis Armstrong had a character that you could not help but love. While people loved to hear him sing, his particular talent was Dixieland style jazz trumpet. He was a genius. Try listening to "Potato Head Blues," "West End Blues," or "When the Saints Go Marching In." for examples.

It was in the Robin Williams movie Good Morning Vietnam during the war montage

Thank God for this beautiful human being!..💪🏻😎🇺🇸🙏🏻

Thank u so much for that. I could hear him sing and play all day long.

The one and only! Glad you discovered him!

This beautiful song was in Good Morning Vietnam with the amazing Robin Williams. Israel Kamakawiwawo’ole from Hawaii sang his own version that has been used in many movies as well. So glad to see people appreciate this classic!

Loved 'ol "Sachmo". Louie Armstrong. Great stuff.

Nobody sings this like Louis Armstrong. You will find a lot of older songs in movies. "What a Wonderful World" is a song written by Bob Thiele (as "George Douglas") and George David Weiss. It was first recorded by Louis Armstrong and released in 1967 as a single. It topped the pop chart in the United Kingdom,[1] but performed poorly in the United States because Larry Newton, the president of ABC Records, disliked the song and refused to promote it. After it was heard in the film Good Morning, Vietnam, it was reissued as a single in 1988, and rose to number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] Armstrong's recording was inducted to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.

What a fantastically wonderful song. It has been in quite a few movies. 😍

This is a older Louis Armstrong also a great song, you should check out his younger side also try his gospel side as well. The song was featured in the movie "GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM"

What a wonderful world 🌎 love love love triple star

This is what i call solid Platinum!!! The Great Sashumal!! Iconic is not even close.....

this song was in "Good Morning Vietnam" Louis was a gift from heaven type performer. And as a professional player IMO the best trumpeteer that ever lived. Even better than Maynard Ferguson

He got his raspy voice in this song by smoking his whole life, he used his upper vocal chords to sing later in life. When you listen to his really early songs, he's way smoother. A true legend.

The movie was Good Morning Vietnam. Song was also sung by muppets. The song was the theme song for the television program Family Matters.

This song was featured in Robin Williams's film called "Good Morning Viet Nam" A wonderfully mastered film.

This song should be mandatory for adults! ❤

Yeah man! couldn't miss it! Lot's of movies and commercials.! Beautiful song.

One of my most favorite songs

A powerhouse song - so simple it stuns. He paints a picture while he sings and you cannot help but be drawn in by him. MANY movies, commercials have used this song and you now know why.

Louis Armstrong changed the way people sing.

This is my favorite song of ALL TIME!!! It still rings true as a beautiful song from a beautiful soul!

The way he sounds when his final note is falling off, I love it. I’m sorry I don’t know what to call it besides that

What a kid... In 1959 I was a big Louie Armstrong fan. Him and Jimmy Durante. "That's no banana... that's my nose...!!!"

This is Satchmo! I think this song is also played at every wedding I have ever been to. You could have heard it that way. It's quite famous
