A very good album

I bought this album in 1964 and the CD is every bit as good. Armstrong's version of "Got A Lot of Living to do" is very good and is my favorite from the album. Armstong's trumpet was the sharpest and cleanest trumpet as ther ever was & singing style is good

Satchmo K.O.'s Fab Four

Ok, so this isn't primo Louis. But you know something works right in the universe when Satchmo is annointed to knock the Beatles out of #1. Like, who else was qualified?

Hello Dolly is the kind of song you wouldn't bother to hear in any version but the one here. Jeepers Creepers is perfect for him (check out Tony Bennett's devotional rendition of the tune with Count Basie). Got A Lot of Livin' to Do never sounded better. The band is ragged & far beneath Armstrong's jazz abilities, but as a Sixties pop album this is pretty good. Face it, you were sick of the Beatles anyway.

You must try this one!

This is a great first album for those who are interested in Satchmo. Tunes from broadway shows from the fifties and sixties as only Louis Armstrong can interpret them. Great fun for Louis Armstrong fans and those who want to take a first listen. You won't be sorry. Extremely popular when it was released in mono in the sixties.
