Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong (www.wikipedia.org)

Louis Armstrong is one of the most famous American jazz muscian in the 20th century. He was the first important soloist to emerge in jazz. "What an wonderful world" is an example of his music. This song was used in the film "Bowling for Columbine" by Michael Moore. It was also one of the popular hits in United Kingdom in 1968. You can download the mp3 file of this song here.

This song has a slow rhythm. And it only use the vocal of Louis Armstrong with background music. It is quite unsual because jazz songs often have the apperance of trumpet.

Thank Phong. Nice job! ^^
I've listened to his songs sereval times, but I didn't know which type of music it was or who the singer was, until I had to research something about jazz.
