Louis Armstrong & His Orchestra - The Lonesome Road (1931) video free download
Louis Armstrong (Aug.4,1901 - Jul.6,1971), nicknamed Satchmo, was an American jazz trumpeter and singer.
Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an innovative cornet and trumpet virtuoso, Armstrong was a foundational influence on jazz, shifting the music's focus from collective improvisation to solo performers.
With his distinctive gravelly voice, Armstrong was an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also greatly skilled at scat singing, or wordless vocalizing.
Renowned for his charismatic stage presence and deep, instantly recognizable voice, Armstrong's influence extended well beyond jazz, and by the end of his career in the '60s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general: critic Steve Leggett describes Armstrong as "perhaps the most important American musician of the 20th century."

"The Reverend Satchelmouth Armstrong". He's a-preachin' and fund-raisin'. Funny stuff. "They're smokin' a Louis Armstrong Special Cigar..." Yes, I'm sure they must be! This is crazy! "Thankyou for your little offering. Of course, it could have been better. Two dollars more would have got my shoes out of pawn." Thankyou, the reverend edmundusrex!Related Videos
