What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Posted: 30 Apr 2018 23:45Louis Armstrong - What a wonderful world ( 1967 )
This has always been a favourite of mine. When at school in Nairobi, Kenya, a group of us (mostly the band Members) were taken to a concert given by Louis Armstrong at the Nairobi Football Stadium. This was long before What A Wonderful World came out .. probably about 1959. So I was very lucky to see Louis Armstrong perform 'live'. I remember it was a very hot evening, and at one point Louis Armstrong took out his very white handkerchief, wiped his forehead and said, "'Scuse me. Me makeup's coming off!"
