Louis Armstrong was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America and was a jazz trumpeter and singer. He was instantly recognised through the way he would manipulate lyrics and melodies of a song to place an expressive quality to it. He certainly did this with What a Wonderful World and this is why his version is still popular till today. This song was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
What we like
- The song itself is delivered perfectly by Louis Armstrong. There have been other great artists who have since sung this song. As they say, the original is often the best – there is only one Louis Armstrong
Mind experience
- The song serves to remind us that we have a wonderful world to appreciate. We can look to even the simplest things of life and still see it as a wonderful world. And with the future, there is always the hope of growth in a new generation
To think about
