Louis ArmstrongGreatest Hits

Eleven originals that run from Dixieland stomp to the tenderest song he ever sang. 'What a Wonderful World' still melts the room on its bed of slow strings, 'Hello Dolly' bounces with the grin you can hear, and 'Blueberry Hill' rolls out in that unmistakable gravel. Then 'Muskrat Ramble' and 'At the Jazz Band Ball' turn him loose on the horn that started it all, and Bing Crosby turns up alongside him on a good stretch of the record. The friendliest way into the man who invented so much of this music.
