One for the ages from Satchmo, or as we like to call him, Louis Armstrong. This is massively popular today thanks to the “Good Morning, Vietnam” soundtrack. Upon its original release the record did nothing in America, barely bubbling under. But the now-classic was #1 in Britain this week in ‘68. It was reissued in America when the Robin Williams movie came out in 1988 but still only reached #32. Louis (don’t call him Louie) recorded the tune in Vegas at 2:00 AM, just after finishing a gig at the Tropicana. Definitely a personal favorite.
