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.
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?

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. 😭
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.
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.
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....
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.
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

@@trip7706 These goons can't appreciate the time frame this was made in and understand the grand leaps that have took place since then. Don't even bother with them. As they say "I'll see it when I believe 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!!!!!
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
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.
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!!!
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!!!!!
Грандиозный джаз из тех, крутых стародавних времён! Эх, как это было давно!И как круто это было! А уже 2024, 7 ноября, за окном мокрый снег срывается, сильный ветер, плюс один, холодно, а я сижу, джаз слушаю, и балдею! Всем всего хорошего!
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
Louis was a far more sophisticated musician than people know. He wrote this and "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans" as personal pieces. If you know a trumpeter in his mid-sixties, hell in his mid-twenties, ask him to play just the ending of this piece. Then realize that Louis played that way, and higher, on every piece in every concert for almost sixty years. Jaw dropping!
Actually Pops performed those two songs a great deal and contributed to their popularity but he did not compose them. Fats Waller wrote "Black and Blue" and Eddie DeLange wrote "Do You Know What it Means..." Trumpet playing here is just enormous, magisterial, and the entire Berlin Concert from 1965 is available on TH-cam. This is the last available example in which Pops, who was just beginning to get really ill, really sounds like his total self. Even as late, though, as the January 1971 performance at the National Press Club, to accompanying Johnny Cash on the latter's television show around the same time, the essence of his tone is still unmistakable.
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'.
Listening to people like him made a girl like me in a remote city of India think of what the author wants to convey to the audience.....and when as a young lady I actually visited the places called U.S.A.....I had learned to love these people and cry to see Beyonce's Lemonade and feel proud to see her work, as if I belonged to the community... God bless America!
First time listening to this song ever! I came straight form an interview by wynton marsalis where he mentioned this song(New Orleans trumpet player Bolden movie interview)...what a great song and lyrics...minor , major keys ..I love it!!!! Great composition and melody
Hi king, First time hearing this song it was in 1966 in Kinshasa ( Congo in Africa )because my uncle got tears listenning this song. We 're french spoken and he translated for me . Now I am sixty , leaving in Paris ( France ) and still listenning this song. Satchmo was a great man and real gift for everyone in this world. BONSOIR.
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

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.
What a beautiful song and performance by probably the most widely loved musical performer in the modern Western world.
That's a breathtakingly look at An American Genius. Louis Armstrong is a true trailblazer and THE MOST important one person in jazz.
I've been his fan all life and never have I heard this track. Lyrics so deep and it's been on replay. God bless Great satchmo

First time listening to this song ever! I came straight form an interview by wynton marsalis where he mentioned this song(New Orleans trumpet player Bolden movie interview)...what a great song and lyrics...minor , major keys ..I love it!!!! Great composition and melody
Hi king, First time hearing this song it was in 1966 in Kinshasa ( Congo in Africa )because my uncle got tears listenning this song. We 're french spoken and he translated for me . Now I am sixty , leaving in Paris ( France ) and still listenning this song. Satchmo was a great man and real gift for everyone in this world. BONSOIR.
@@desirecandon5789 yes by the way, that song has that french vibe, kinda melody...very sad and happy ...well, it's Mr happy "satchmo" 😎🎼🎺

Great trumpet......really great trumpet solo and vocals.
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
Bratiful and touching
