It's a Wonderful World

Louie Armstrong

Louie was born August 4th 1901

That's right 1901 - he played the trumpet and sang- his biggest hit was It's a Wonderful World.
When he sang it - you felt it-

He believed it and he was a black man born in 1901-

The song came out in 1960- there was still segregation and the civil rights movement was just beginning.

 And yet this mean felt life was wonderful and when you still hear that song you feel it too.
Amazing.
