I agree wholeheartedly Patricia. Louis - like most young black people of his time and place - met adveristy and sometimes tragedy in his life almost daily. It was chiefly his psychological strengths that helped in a large way his overcoming certain of these. The psychological function at work here was reslience, but a second important factor was his personality. He was generally disposed towards a positive attitude in daily life, his moral sense was well developed and very strong, his people skills were superb. He did not complain and dwell on the past or on "bad luck". All of this and more combined to form a person who - when meeting adversity - refused to accept it as tragic but instead treated it with a respectful attitude of "Well that's life." - and move on to whatever was up next. His mother said to him on her death-bed in July 1927, "Son, carry on. You're a good boy, you treats everybody right. And everybody - white and colored - loves you. You have a good heart. You can't miss." This speaks to a man who often described his life in only positive terms. He acknowledged the tragic parts but would have been the last to say his was a "..tragic, real-life story."

I wouldn't call it discarding friends to see them less as you grow up. I see friends on a timeline. Never know who will start a family, die, get a busy career, etc. I just appreciate them when I see them because I genuinely get happy around them. And I appreciate it if I ever run into them again nothing else.

Facts

My (jazz) music teacher told me a story of a time when Louis gave a talk to his class at school. Someone came and told him it was time to go and meet the mayor. And he replied "The mayor can wait. I'm talkin' to my kids." It would never have been such a wonderful world if he hadn't been in it.

I grew up on the block he lived on in Corona Queens NY. I would see him from time to time and I even became his paperboy for a while one summer. I got to know him and his wife. I even attended the opening of Armstrong Park in New Orleans and his wife remember me. There will never be a musician like Mr Armstrong again.

Satch is one of the few musicians I can listen to for hours on end and never get tired of listening. My father grew up in the era of the big bands and swing, so I grew up listening to that music. It wasn't until much later that I developed my own appreciation for it, however. What kid is going to acknowledge that his father's music is great? In my 20's, living in New York City, I discovered Fats Waller's music when the show Ain't Misbehavin' hit broadway. If you haven't already, check out the album, "Satch Plays Fats". It's Satchmo's tribute to Waller, and it is outstanding. Louis Armstrong was one of the primary figures to tear down the racial wall that separated music to a great degree until the 1960's.

my favorite song "what A wonderful world"I have always loved Louis Armstrong. he is a true American icon. He was a beautiful man with an extraordinary talent and a beautiful hart ❤️ God bless Mr. Louis Armstrong . they just don't make them like that anymore.

Jazz was prohibited in Russia. One day my uncle came from Europe and brought a vinyl disc (1970) and it was him L Armstrong. I couldn’t stop listening to him. My all family were musician and one day my grandfather told me that if I ever wanted to know what real music is I should listen very closely to L Armstrong and D Ellington. Wow, what an artist!

My parents had several of his recordings. My parents were more into classical music SO he was one of the VERY few artists outside of that genre they liked and appreciated. I grew to love his music as well. It appears that tough upbringings like this sometimes bring out the best in people. Louis Armstrong was a great talent on the trumpet and helped put New Orleans Jazz on the map. RIP.

To be great one must suffer an d sacrifice. Louie Armstrong has given much to humanity and has earned his place in the realm of the immortal among us. I never tire of his music, rich in soul, passion and the art of living.

I love just the fact that he WOULD NOT desert his bandmates. That is character,loyalty,and above all LOVE.

A beautiful soul. There will never another musician like him ever again.

Louis Armstrong is my lifelong musical hero. I fell in love with his magical sound as a young child and cried like a baby the day he died. He was a true American original.

The ways he lives/deals with his life is very inspirational. I've so much admired on him. A great man- Louis Armstrong. He'll always be remembered.

He wasn't a musician as much as a musical force, his and Ella's duets are as good today as they ever were.

A highly aware and intelligent survivor, artist.

Not to take anything away, but a lot of these things were kind of par for the course back then. Glaser was an abusive manager; Armstrong was pressured to perform every single night, even as his health declined. The lip injuries could have been much less serious had he allowed himself (or been allowed) a few rest days per month, like most modern trumpeters. He also didn't see anywhere near as much money as he should have deserved. Watch the man perform. Listen to him play.

I don't even see how what I said could be interpreted as disparaging. Did I say that Armstrong didn't go through rough times? NO!! Did I say he isn't one of the best musicians to ever live? NO!! I am only saying that life was tough for most African Americans, including jazz musicians, especially in that time and place. I have read multiple jazz history books and biographies and I just feel that Grunge missed a few details and used a clickbaity title.

It's all in the perspective. Emphasizing "tragic" leaves out the immense joy Louis had and shared with everyone. He would have called this perspective wrong, and he would have used stronger words. Celebrate the beauty, the triumph, the immortality.

Loving Satchmo for life. I grew up on his stuff. Thanks to my own father!!!! "I ain't glad that you died you genius you!!!!" That's to my father and Satchmo 2gether!!!!

Satch came to tour New Zealand when I was about 14 in 1959, my dad loved him but he couldn't afford to go to see his show so we visited him before the show and waved as he stood on the balcony of the Founders Theatre in Hamilton NZ. What a man. I'm 75 years old now and still love his music, without a doubt my most favourite song is, 'We have all the time in the world'. If you've never heard it, dial it up now on KZread and enjoy. Ray

Armstrong’s life wasn’t ‘tragic’. Otherwise, good vid.

It’s sad that happened

We went to see the movie Hello Dolly in a movie theater last year for the 50 th anniversary of the film. When Louis Armstrong came on screen, everyone in the theater stood up and applauded. There will never be another! RIP King Louis🙏🏻

My first trumpet 1967 at 11 years old . my first influence louis , al hert , Dizzy and last Miles. Now at 64 self taught but still putting ideas together.

Look up the word ‘Tragic’ in a dictionary and them retitle these mini docs

Louis Armstrong was a beast! Easily the best “st. James infirmary”..his cover is scary good. It’s tragic he faced judgment for something he had no control over..

I don’t know how to put my feelings into words. There are tears in my eyes.

I fell in love with Louis Armstrong after watching Ken Burns Jazz series some 20 years ago. I brought the whole series on vhs and then again on DVD.
