Cold empty bed, springs hard as lead Feel like old Ned, wished I was dead What did I do to be so black and blue? Even the mouse ran from my house They laugh at you, and scorn you too What did I do to be so black and blue? I'm white inside, but that don't help my case 'Cause I can't hide what is in my face How would it end? Ain't got a friend My only sin is in my skin What did I do to be so black and blue?

The beauty of youtube is that sometimes without even trying, you just come across these little gems that are just pure heaven. Sublime. Thanks so much for posting this.
I LIKE HIM A LOT BUT MY PARENTS DIDNT LIKE HIM. THEY WERE VERY OLD FASHIONED AND DIDNT LIKE ANY KIND OF SWING MUSIC OR SINGERS WITH RASPY VOICES HA HA. THEIR MUSIC HAD TO BE REAL SMOOTH AND OLD FASHIONED. I HAVE SOME LOUIS ARMSTRONG CDS, I PLAY THEM WHEN I AM TRAVELLING ON A COUNTRY TRAIN.
If you're ever in New York City, visit Louis Armstrong's house in Corona Queens where you can not only see where he lived but here recordings of him as if you were visiting his family. A great performer and a great human being.
Imo this is the best version he did of this song. He knows what it feels like to be black and blue and he still sings it with wide eyes and a huge grin and it swells me with happiness for his fame and successes.
I had an instructor when I was first learning trumpet and my lesson mate who played trombone listen to a version of this masterpiece in our session. He said to us "guys listen to how clean and precise Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Glenn are". He also said "don't get wrapped up in the performance, these men have been playing together for a long time". He said to me "listen to Mr. Armstrong and his technique, the way he plays each note like it is the most important note in that passage". He said to my mate "listen to Mr. Glenn how even when he is sliding the note it is precise and clean." "I want you guys to be that way, precise and clean". We were kind of blown away to tell the truth we never listen to our self's like that before. Then later on our instructor asked us to play in a summer jazz band he had for his students. I played trumpet of course, my mate was the trombone player, we had a clarinet and a drummer. We couldn't believe how hard this was to play and how easy these men made it sound. Sure we had a very pared down version of this but for us it was still pretty difficult. We worked all summer and when school started in the fall he had us give a session to our other band mates. WOW, was that fun, we were amazed, they were amazed and I'm pretty sure he was amazed with us.Thank You Mr. S. rest in peace you earned it! Be well and safe peace to you and yours.
This song was written by the great jazzman composer Andy RAZAF who's never been back to his country Madagascar. You can feel his blues through this song. Simply respect !
I don't know how he keeps a straight face (not crying) while singing such heartfelt lyrics onstage. 💔 I teared up just from listening... I can't imagine having to actually deliver the words. 😭
It still gives me goose bumps. I'm weak after listening every time. When I was a teen this song taught me about racism. Thank you Louis Armstrong, thank you.
God this is so beautiful I actually cried. Why am I turning so sentimental it's too early I'm just 20 but this..I mean his music, pulls the strings in my heart. And the fact that it happened so long ago and I'm just here holding it in my hands in this little personal computer machine. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to see it and hear it.
Listen to the depth of feeling Louie has in his voice and trumpet; at home, back in America (in 1965), his people were being set on by dogs and knocked down by fire hoses. He sings "what he knows of". Of course, there was plenty of BS going on in Berlin at that time too. Thank God the 60s gave us all wings!!!!!
Louis, you are a beloved legend for the ages. You, sir, will live on forever and never be forgotten. I’ve taught my son about you and what you mean to our culture-and all culture. We love you

Without question; musicians and musicologists attest to this. He is also one of a handful of jazz musicians who widely influenced both singers and instrumentalists to follow - in almost every genre other than reggae music.
Fats Waller composition and lyrics by Andy Razaf. It's sung well by Mr. Armstrong yet the real accolades in my opinion are to the two aforementioned gentlemen whom created this and many many other critically acclaimed songs including such hits as Ain't Misbehaving and Honeysuckle Rose and hundreds more....
Someone sang this last night in class and the lyrics captivated me. I thought I was the only one that was moved by the how deep the words cut, but the instructor said that the words brought him to the brink of tears. The song speaks to the plight that many of us face for the mere fact of being. It transcends race and the confines of argument by speaking the truth with nonsensical scat to boot. It is as relevant today as it was, I am sure, back then. The trumpet intro reminded me of a funeral in New Orleans I once witnessed. The tragic death march of the living- a heavy burdened shuffle while the tears flow to remind us that even in the face of death and adversity, we dance. That even while we mourn the injustice of it all, we sing....even if we have to shout the blues. Thanks for the post
"It transcends race" sir or ma'am, can you please accept this song for what it is instead of trying to diminish it's meaning? You are saying the topic of this song is unimportant in so many words.
exactly just because u relate to it doesnt change the original meaning on the song. Even successful men like him in his era had to use the back door to perform at his OWN concerts
Думала,что русских нет на таких каналах,это классика,Армстронг неповторим!!!Если Вас заинтересует Джаз просмотрите Олега Лунстрема,замечательный человек,талантливый музыкант,на его концерты прихо́дило мало людей,но он играл даже для 14 человек,это достойно уважения!!!!!
His powerful voice is combined with the goosebumps giving lyrics so strong, that it needs all instruments to keep quiet, just to bring the full spectre of emotions to us. What a genious of music he has been!!!
So sad for a Black man to ask God why did he make me so Black and Blue!! That came straight from his heart!! This is what America have done to our Black men especially the beautiful dark brothers who thinks their Blackness is ugly!! Ny Lord, this makes me cry. That old devil made us think we were a curse race!!!
1. He didn't ask God why he created him "black" and/or "blue". 2. We're God's masterpiece. 3. No one ever said "black" is ugly. Not even by race superiority bigots. Everything has some kind of "black" built-in. 4. Black peole are also treated like "thrash" by so called "Black people". 5. There is no one ugly on earth. It's the individual beauty that has been ignored. 6. The old devil has no power. We're giving him all the credits by our own doing. We keep lying to ourselves so we can feel no guilt.
My heart is broken, I wept. ''I'm white on the inside, my only sin is in my skin, tell me what did do to be so black and blue'? Jesus loves all who love him. My God what were people like. Who can possibly say we have not come a million light years from those who went before us? WHO? God Bless America. Love you always Louis Armstrong, thank you for calling a generation and nation to account.
HE was a genious! RIP!😢 Why nobody makes music like this nowadays??? Everyone sings about booty,bad bitches,boobs,drugs and another bulshit . I'm only 17 but i adore music of 20's-90's. 😭 GIVE US REAL MUSIC BACK!
17 ? I was like you at 17, had the intelligence to love and appreciate Real music. I never followed a trend just because my piers did or because media pushed it down our throats. And you're right!!! It's all about ass and boobs and sex.Lyrics with no soul or meaning. Even entertainers in their 40's singing garbage. ..Ughhhhh!!! Real music is lasting, never dies. Wish we had more 17 year olds like you.
so true yesterday this man at my church sung one of his songs he looked alot like him it was for black history month im 15 im a real old soul i like anita baker sade maze ft frankie beverly norah jones lots of old school type stuff
The song, "Black and Blue," was written to be a funny satire, but the way Louis Armstrong performs it slowly with feeling, the song takes on a whole new meaning.
Got this song and a whole lot of other Louie Armstrong songs on cassette tape and CD back in the 90s. This is an incredible deep moving song. Says so much especially for the time that song was written,sang and preformed. And still says so much for this present day WOW!
Ralph Ellison wrote a book Invisible Man, which is where I learned of this song. I suggest reading the scene which contains this song, it is the most beautiful of sad things
Yet another classic Fats Waller tune.(no he did not write any of his own lyrics)..what a wonderful trombonist in Tyree Glenn.goose bumps when I hear him play on slow numbers..And Louis,well i don't have a vocabulary broad enough to explain his greatness,so I will borrow from a Johnny Mercer song'Too Marvellous for words'.
I think he might be a total hero, listen to those words who he speaks to and who for and always smiling what a dude, and on the side helping to mold music legend
It's been years since I read INVISIBLE MAN. The book and the scene and song were referenced in Martin Lee's book, SMOKE SIGNALS. I just listened to it for the first time. What a horribly, horribly sad song.

RIP and long live Louis Armstrong (August 4, 1901 - July 6, 1971), aged 69
You will always be remembered as a legend.
That's a breathtakingly look at An American Genius. Louis Armstrong is a true trailblazer and THE MOST important one person in jazz.
Jazz is the good tune in the world, kind regards worldcall.
This song was written by the great jazzman composer Andy RAZAF who's never been back to his country Madagascar. You can feel his blues through this song. Simply respect !
Don’t forget Fats Waller and Harry Brooks! They were also involved in its composition
I don't know how he keeps a straight face (not crying) while singing such heartfelt lyrics onstage. 💔 I teared up just from listening... I can't imagine having to actually deliver the words. 😭
Because he prob cried a lot while trying to be what he became today. A legend that will be remebered for years to come.

He didn't keep a straight face. You can see the pain in his eyes when the vocals begin. All for the better, makes the song more powerful.
It still gives me goose bumps. I'm weak after listening every time. When I was a teen this song taught me about racism. Thank you Louis Armstrong, thank you.

Such a profound song
I heard it as a teen too, before listening to Billie singing Strange Fruit.
What a beautiful song and performance by probably the most widely loved musical performer in the modern Western world.
Louis invented modern singing IMO and was the most important musician in the 20th century , also IMO.
He was a national treasure. This song breaks my heart open. What a man. Wow!😢❤
Depuis mon enfance. Je suis avec Louis
Only a real man can sing a song like this, I love the path that this man man open for us. With Love Thanks.
He’s Like no other
This brings tears to my eyes. My people been through so much. My heart breaks.

this performance is awesome
