Song: What A Wonderful World
Some of you young folks been saying to me
"Hey pops, what do you mean What a Wonderful World?
How 'bout all them wars all over the place,
you call them wonderful?
And how 'bout hunger and pollution,
they ain't so wonderful either!"
Well how 'bout listening to old pops for a minute.
Seems to me, it ain't the world thats so bad,
but what we're doing to it ...
All I'm saying is see what a wonderful world
it would be if only we'd give it a chance~
Love baby, Love ...
That's the secret! Yaaaa!
If lots more of us loved each other,
we'd solve lots more problems!
And then this world would be better ...
That's what old pops keeps saying~
I see trees of green
red roses too
I see 'em bloom
for me and for you
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue
clouds of white
The bright blessed days
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
The colors of a rainbow
so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
sayin' how do you do
They're really sayin'
I love you.
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
than I'll never know
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
Oh ... Yeah ...

Louis Armstrong
(August 4, 1901 - July 6, 1971)
Louis' nicknamed Satchmo and Pops, was an American jazz musician. Armstrong was a charismatic, innovative performer whose inspired, improvised soloing was the main influence for a fundamental change in jazz, shifting its focus from collective melodic playing, often arranged in one way or another, to the solo player and improvised soloing. One of the most famous jazz musicians of the 20th century, he first achieved fame as a cornet player, later on switching to trumpet, but toward the end of his career he was best known as a vocalist and became one of the most influential jazz singers.
Louis Armstrong died of a heart attack on July 6, 1971, at age 69, the night after playing a famous show at the Waldorf Astoria's Empire Room. He was residing in Corona, Queens, New York City, at the time of his passing. He was interred in Flushing Cemetery, Flushing, in Queens, New York City.
On December 31, 1999, (the New Years Eve of the new Millenium), US President Bill Clinton announced that Armstrong's trumpet was among several items of national memorabilia, that was to be interred in a Millenial time capsule to be opened 100 years later. Today, the house where Louis Armstrong lived at the time of his death (and which was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977) is a museum. The Louis Armstrong House & Archives, at 34-56 107th Street (between 34th and 35th Avenues) in Corona, Queens, presents concerts and educational programs, operates as an historic house museum and makes materials in its archives of writings, books, recordings and memorabilia available to the public for research.
On August 4, 2001, the centennial of Armstrong's birth, New Orleans' airport was renamed Louis Armstrong International Airport in his honor ...
