- "What a Wonderful World" [1970 Spoken Introduction Version] along with Oliver Nelson's Orchestra is a song written by Bob Thiele (as George Douglas) and George David Weiss. It was first recorded by Louis Armstrong and released as a single in 1967. Thiele and Weiss were both prominent in the music world (Thiele as a producer and Weiss as a composer/performer). Armstrong's recording was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. Intended as an antidote for the increasingly racially and politically charged climate of everyday life in the United States, the song also has a hopeful, optimistic tone with regard to the future, with reference to babies being born into the world and having much to look forward to. The song was initially offered to Tony Bennett, who turned it down. Thereafter, it was offered to Louis Armstrong.
Louis Armstrong (August 4, 1901 -- July 6, 1971), nicknamed Satchmo or Pops, was an American jazz trumpeter and singer from New Orleans, Louisiana.
Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an "inventive" trumpet and cornet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from collective improvisation to solo performance. With his instantly recognizable gravelly voice, Armstrong was also an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also skilled at scat singing (vocalizing using sounds and syllables instead of actual lyrics).
Renowned for his charismatic stage presence and voice almost as much as for his trumpet-playing, Armstrong's influence extends well beyond jazz music, and by the end of his career in the 1960s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general. Armstrong was one of the first truly popular African-American entertainers to "cross over", whose skin color was secondary to his music in an America that was severely racially divided. He rarely publicly politicized his race, often to the dismay of fellow African-Americans, but took a well-publicized stand for desegregation during the Little Rock Crisis. His artistry and personality allowed him socially acceptable access to the upper echelons of American society that were highly restricted for a black man.
Armstrong died of a heart attack in his sleep on July 6, 1971 at the age of 69, 11 months after playing a famous show at the Waldorf-Astoria's Empire Room. He was residing in Corona, Queens, New York City, at the time of his death. He was interred in Flushing Cemetery, Flushing, in Queens, New York City. His honorary pallbearers included Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Pearl Bailey, Count Basie, Harry James, Frank Sinatra, Ed Sullivan, Earl Wilson, Alan King, Johnny Carson and David Frost. Peggy Lee sang The Lord's Prayer at the services while Al Hibbler sang "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" and Fred Robbins, a long-time friend, gave the eulogy.
Armstrong was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1972 by the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. This Special Merit Award is presented by vote of the Recording Academy's National Trustees to performers who, during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording. Recordings of Armstrong were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, which is a special Grammy award established in 1973 to honor recordings that are at least twenty-five years old, and that have "qualitative or historical significance."
"Some of you young folks been saying to me
" Hey Pops, what you mean 'What a wonderful world'?
How about all them wars all over the place?
You call them wonderful?
And how about hunger and pollution?
That ain't so wonderful either."
Well how about listening to old Pops for a minute.
Seems to me, it aint the world that's so bad
but what we're doin' to it.
And all I'm saying is see what a wonderful world
It would be if only we'd give it a chance.
Love baby, love. That's the secret, yeah.
If lots more of us loved each other
we'd solve lots more problems.
And then this world would be gasser.
That's wha' ol' Pops keeps saying."
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin', "How do you do?"
They're really sayin', "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Oh yeah! - เพลง
my sweet husband, God rest his soul, would turn this on and cry. His heart was so HUGE...so I bought him a plaque with this saying, "oh what a wonderful world" and hung it over his computer desk. He passed away this past February and now the sign is in my bathroom, where I see it every single day and remember how Rob made his corner of the world beautiful. Thank you, Lord for sending me that most wonderful man! Rest in peace, Robbie, till we meet again--I love you so much, always...and forever.
Diane, I am so sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. Your husband must have loved you so much and I’m sure you miss him. May you find comfort in your happiest memories.
Very saddened about your loss Diane. I lost my mom a couple of months back so I know how it is to lose a loved one. I am sure he is in a good place and looking over you with all the love in his heart. I hope and pray that you are given strength in this difficult time.

Oh my heart💔 I lost my fiance to bone cancer last October. We played this so often it's truly delicious. Love to any that are lucky enough to hear this dong

This man lived through times of extreme poverty, apartheid, terrible segregation and yet still had a remarkably positive outlook on our world. He's amazing
Tell me about it...London Soul Boy...from London with Love ❤
I realize that too
you are aware that it was a facade, as in hes smiling through the pain
Iconic song. Legend of a man. Peace.
@@mlw9195 are you black, brother? Interesting point.
This man lived through a period of tremendous poverty, horrible racism, segregation and still had such a remarkably positive outlook on our world. The things people complain about today are peanuts to what this man lived through
To go through what he went through,and still come out of it with that optimissim is so insperational. Reminds me of Anne Frank's quote "In spite of all that I have been through,I still believe people are basically good".. If everyone kept that attitude, there wouldn't be the political diverseness on both sides...we could actually all come together and start making that wonderful world by healing our planet.
Millennials will complain about any little tiny thing. Glad that generation is being over taken now by the newer ones.
@@mrcoiganable2988 AMEN⚘
peanuts 😑🤔🤔??? are you BLACK
To say you can't be depressed or complain because others have it worse is the same as saying you can't be happy because others have it better
My daughter loved this song, she was born in 1973 and passed away in 2012 due to a car accident. Our family used this song along with Garth Brooks "The Dance" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" along with a video slide of photos of her growing up! She loved and left 3 handsome boys that are now young men that listen to theses songs and think of their mom. I miss her smiles and giggles 😔. Rest my sweet baby, see you someday soon😘
This story choked me up Mary, she is with you always...just look around, she will let you know she is there...bless you and your family....
One of the best and beautiful tributes I have ever read may your heart be filled with love and happiness and not with sorrow for she is with the Lord now high above God bless you and your family Captain Giovanni Betancourt II
I love u, have a happy life

He dealt with so much brutal racism and struggles early in his life, yet never lost his vision of a better world or his faith in people. Such a talented artist. RIP Louis.
He is a legend💚
Your source for the racism he endured?
@@Aivottaja His new “Master of Modernism “ biography. When he and his band were playing Chicago circuits in the 20s and 30s, the cops there had a reputation for being particularly brutal towards black citizens. On one occasion, he was almost arrested for sitting near a white music executive’s wife and discussing business with her on a bus. He and his band had a rough time early on, yet Louis remained reluctant to even speak out towards racism for most of his life. He was just a musical genius of a generation who invented styles and improvs that changed jazz forever.

Wish there were more like him.
Such a beautiful song
My sister fought ovarian cancer for ten years before passing, she did it for her 8 year old son as she didn't want him to grow up without a mother. When her son turned 18 she had to stop chemotherapy as there was no more they could do. She passed 3 months later. This song was played at her celebration of life. God be with you Teri.....

Breezy Wizzy so much for ‘United’ states. U are your own enemy it’s sad.
This song makes me cry because it brings out the positive in the world when there’s
a lot of negative in the world
There's**
YOU Be the Positive, Sunshine!!!
While people talk about your typo, I'll say something a bit more relevant.
As much as there is much negative in the world, there are points of light. Right now it seems as if there is a lot, maybe too much negativity, but let's be a light as much as we can. That's all I'm gonna say.
God bless you!
@@aslanmonn86 👏👏👏👍
Don't worry, coronavirus made positive a lot of people.
This song brings happy tears to my eyes everytime I hear it because it makes me think of my daddy. When he was was stricken with cancer right after retiring, someone asked him why he wasn't bitter. He responded by saying, "I've seen my children grow into good adults, held all my grandchildren in my arms, and left things so my wife will be taken care of. What more could a man want. I've had a wonderful life and can die a happy man."
I share your sentiment. This was the song i discovered 40 yrs ago on the radio, in my way to see my dying father one last time.
@@abreuew I'm sorry for your loss.
@@honestmark92 thank you for asking. I am well reconciled with my daddy's passing. I spend my time celebrating his life, not mourning his death.
Happy to learn you are at peace. As long as we are alive, our loved ones are always alive within us. Since 2018, I had a lot of misfortunes come my way. I had to go through a painful separation just 5 months after getting married. Lost 2 of my brothers to covid and lost my dear sweet aunt this May. I have a son I have not seen in 4 years. But I try to get this song's message to heart. Its better that way. Just sharing. I have no one to keep company. Thanks for reading :-)
@@honestmark92 Hi. I'm doing good :-) I try to see the bright side of life. I've embraced the stoic philosophy of living. It gets me by through tough times. And I've got The Simpsons for company. Ha ha. Bit of a hardcore Simpsons fan. Thanks for asking. How are you?
His history is amazing. He was adopted by beautiful parents and encouraged his music. He's just an amazing man and singer.
He didn't have the same vibes when he was talking about you😮
Hello Susan!!! How are you doing? Hope am not being rude for writing you first??

He was broken hearted with out her & now they are together. Thank you both for the wonderful life’s you gave us. I will miss you more than you will ever know.

One from each of your boys
Condolences from afar, yes they are together. Take care brother.
Nobody cares
What wonderful word for your parents.
The intro makes this song 10x better, from amazing to out of the world.
This man saw so much ugliness growing up, yet he sang this song about beauty. His spirit was strong, his character was kind.
I really loved your comment. Very true 💕
Very true, fully agree with you
Beautifully phrased🤍
That's right ..Louis would've been in his 100s
That’s pretty deep. I might have to use that.
Listening to this in 2021... anyone here with me?
Yeah man
Yeah I’m here
ME TOO!!
Dude i lisend to this through 2020
Here bro. Amen
i remember when i was around 8-10 years old, my dad, may he rest in peace, used to play this song and sing along to it everytime he took us to school or anywhere were it was just me and him. He died august 2023 when i was 14 because of a 2 year long excruciating infection in the bottom of his foot. He was a type 1 diabetic. I just recently remembered this song and now i listen to it all the time. It brings me so much comfort and i always cry everytime i listen to it. I still feel his arms wrapping around me when times are hard and how i used to lay on his chest and listen to his heartbeat. God, i miss you so much baba. I hate not having you here anymore. Hopefully we will meet again soon. I love you forever.
Just wonderful music I'm 81 and just love listening to the 50S 60s MAGIC
Incredible to think this guy was born 121 years ago, and yet I can still get to appreciate his beautiful voice.

Stop war and let's spend the money on saving the world, not on war... Thank you.
I hope many people read this, together we can make peace, right? We only have this one, wonderful world.
Stay healthy, believe in peace and believe that we can be strong together.
This was played at my Aunts funeral. She was an amazing woman. Married her true soulmate. Her two oldest sons were in attendance at my parents wedding.
She outlived both parents, husband, and two siblings if not all 3. Came from the poorest / humblest backgrounds, and yet always seemed to have a smile to offer. I do wish that I had spent more time with her while I had the opportunity, but my father, her brother passed away when I was only 17. She knew that he wanted bigger / better things in life than what he had in his own, and off into the world I wandered.
She’s with my Uncle, my Dad, her parents, and numerous other relatives that she so fondly remembered. Life wouldn’t have been the same without Barbara Jean, and she did make it A Wonderful World 💖
Hello how are you doing today??😊😊
My daughter and I would sing this in the car. Sadly she passed in March this year so this song is so special to me. Today's her birthday... She'd be 29 years old. I miss her soooo much 💔❤️
My condolences for your loss.
Cherish her in Love and Wonderful Memories Eternally... Blessings Beloved 💖💖
So sorry for your loss.
Sending my love 🙏🏾❤️
Sorry for your loss, I am sure she lives with you everywhere just keep her memories alive
My daughter would be 35, she passed 4 years ago. This was one of her favorite songs. People my age and older would ask her how she knew all the oldies when they came on. She would say," from riding around in the back seat of my parents car with my brother and sister while my parents blasted the radio". Lol. God I still miss her so, I always will. XO
Be proud that you raised your daughter right. I'm sore she's looking down from above and was happy with everything that happened with you all. 😊
I'm so sorry for your loss prayers for you and your family AMEN God Bless
I'm sure she is watching over you..Happy Mother's day.
Sorry for your loss x
I lost my daughter in 72, she'd be 49 this year, and not a day goes by I don't think of her. Her favorite song was Jesus loves the little children. I wonder what she would look like, how she'd laugh, what she might have become. Mostly I wonder what it would be like to hold her, to share with her. It never goes away. I know your loss and feel for your heart ache. Much Love to you and yours.
it's 2023 and this is as relevant as ever.
Had to come back and listen again, prefer this version the best as when he speaks at the beginning it makes the song mean so much more , Louis was an Angel , very wise too . If only we could all listen . 🌍🌎🌏🕊️🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️☺️💭 🥲🥲🥲🥲

A wonderful song sang by a wonderful man.. .

My Dad died this past June from stage 4 lung cancer. It was his 3rd time with this battle, and he overcame a brain aneursym 10 years ago, as well. He loved God, the Land, Fishing, People, Nature, and the Beauty of the World!! This song definately reminds me of his Essence❤🎊 I'm 40 years old, and this year is my first Birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years' without him in the flesh. He's still here though. Him & my Mom were married for 51 years. He fought for his life, and transitioned at 71🕊💜🕊 I'm so thankful for him, and even cussing me out every now and then❤😂
Born poor. Died rich. Never hurt a creature along the way. None.
Lookin at you, Jeff Bezos
he might have killed some bugs along the way but
And always was happy
The ones who gave him his money made him rich, they did do harm in his place. Being peaceful never brings you any materialistic good, remember it, and do be peaceful anyway.

Old pops spoken version had clear vision of today's pollution and wars, what a beautiful man to overcome life's struggles and still perform with a clear and honest message of LOVE, nothing else goes with you into the grave but LOVE, and his singing talent was the tops.
I met a cancer survivor once. She defeated leukemia twice in a decade long battle. I saw in her eyes the happiness that brings by just being able to see this beautiful world again. Thats what she told me, to be grateful for every breath of air you take because when you are told you wont live for that long thats when you start missing the real beauty in this world.
I only got to speak to her for a small period but she really showed me a new perspective on life. I try to appreciate everything and everyone around me even in tough times. I know i will die someday but till then im living my life to the fullest. You should too.
we rw I wonder why we realize what we have only after we loose it or are about to loose it. There's that famous saying 'you know what you've had only once it's gone'. So live everyday like it's gone because one day it will be. I hear you we rw.
From another cancer and heart attack survivor, I understand what she meant and I'm glad her comments have made an impact on you and others she may have reached.
Beautiful story.....
As Bill Murray says, "this is not a dress rehearsal, this is your life."
we rw alright I’m gonna follow my passion and rob a gas station wit my homies
We need this now more than ever. Please, love one another and stop hurting each other.
You are right
correct. Vote trump
WolvesFanVideos Pretty sure that's gonna make the world much worse
it already has.
Yeah thats right suddenly the world is instantly much worse now. Get out of your cosy bubble
Pops was a gift. He'll live forever.
Louis Armstrong was way before my time but I love this man+ his great music+ great sweet smile+ his kindness!!!
This song was playing on the radio as my daughter came into the world this year.
💖
Awesome choice, just maybe when she have her first child it will be an even better world, because we will be more kind to each other, let's hope!!!
😊😊
@John Smith I cried too omg😂😂😭😍
Hope you named her Satchmo 😁😁😁
Crying in my room at 3am because of how amazing this song is? Definitely. This song always makes me tear up a bit. It makes me remember, no matter how awful things get, we'll always have a wonderful world to live in. Thank you Louis Armstrong for this absolute masterpiece of a song.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Don't take what you have for granted, and tell the people that you love, that you love them.
So nice to see..the positivity just keeps paying itself forward. This really is a wonderful world when you learn a little about perspective. Stay blessed ✌
This song will stick with us for a life time to come it will live on for a life time 🎤🎶🎵🎧
Me too!
@@kitocerra and crying in my room. This is exactly what this song dose to me. Every time I hear it, I can't sing along, because I am crying joy, to such an emotional song. It can't be helped. I remember him on TV, when I was a teenager how pure and honest he sounded. I was in to rock, living in the San Francisco Bay area, I didn't realy listen to pop that much, maybe a little Johnny Cash, for his honesty in country music. But Louis broke down all the walls. It didn't matter if it was pop, but, it was refreshing and honest. Now everyone can see him on u tube and everyone who has a heart ❤, can see him, and listen to the words, of Its A Wonderful World 🌎. The more people that here it, is the chance that it can break down the hate into love. Love is the answer. Dave In Sierra Vista AZ
Just hearing the introduction brings tears to my eyes. What a beautiful song!
This song needs to be played..more than ever..these day...God Bless You...Sachmo..!!Satchmo..!!! 😇🙏❤
This world is headed the wrong way, but songs with lyrics like this gives me hope...Thank you, Louis Armstrong!
True the world is going bad way, but there's still good people that don't let this happen.
So true
I agree
Note to self: Do not post a problem without a solution in social media.
Thank you Louis Armstrong.
The people today will never understand what black people went through before, but Louis Armstrong always saw the good in the people and saw all the beautiful things this world has to offer. Thanks for delivering this message to us during this hard time which is still relevant decades later.
They're still going through it but believe me there's a shift happening in the world right now that's why everything is a little crazy but stay positive it's the positive energy that's changing the world.
@@jeffkocher3933 I believe the world is loosing focus , our life is too good so we keep loosing track and making excuses. we blame the many of the mistake from a few. it's the system that's is broken not the people, but giving the wrong ideology the people can also loose their way. Today corruption is our enemy not people like it was before. Today there is not only black people affected but everyone across the world. we are separated instead of being unified which is what we should be fighting for. Louis Armstrong is correct the world and the humans are beautiful. Let's keep it that way (❁´◡`❁)
Jakuri93 Yeah all cultures hurt one another and it’s been that way for thousands of years. We need to embrace unity as the people of this world and as we fight one another each day we neglect our home.
@Friendly Human What you on about, i never claimed any of what you are saying. i only compared before when Louis Armstrong was alive and today's society which he is from. He saw everything good even though all the hardship black people went trough at the time.
If you read my earlier comment you will also see that i mention every people in the world not just black. i also said corruption is our enemy today not people as it was before.
If you only knew the strugle White People went through ! And all others do every day !
Bless this man and all people touched by his one of a kind voice and music message 🙏 God bless everyone and this wonderful world!
Hello jona!!! How are you doing? Hope am not being rude for writing you first??
All the kids all over the planet should b made to listen to this! Maybe then it would b better
"If lots more of us loved each other, we would solve lots more problems" no truer words have ever been spoken.....
And this world would be a gasser
gasser? I seen it wrong at first glance XD
@@badboy-tq3kt ... yes gasser ... I do believe that is a slang term for great back when this song originally came out ... 😇😇😇
amen

My mom passed ,dementia in her late stage she sang this word for word,I cried like a baby
So sorry about your Mom, my Mom is in late-stage Alzheimer's and she recognizes this song in her mind's fog. There is something transcendental about music.
Jesus loves you let him into your heart repent and live with him in a wonderfull relationship
The hardest thing in my life was losing my Mom ...That was very beautiful that your Mom still knew the lyrics to this song...God Speed to you and your family...hugs..xo❤
Diana Whiteman sending my prayers

Such a beautiful message for an intro. Best one.
This classic song from a music icon should be the International song of the world.

I can tell you this Doing Good is Luckier for your Company than doing tricks ( evil ). And Employ GOoD People as Good people are Lucky.
i am with you
Louid Armstrong is not just a legend.
He is THE LEGEND!!!
I just like the fact someone commented today
Amen
Amen...
Listened to Louis Armstrong every Saturday in the from the the 60s on my father’s record player while growing up in the Canal Zone - I think I wore out all of my father’s records of the artists of that era. I was truly blessed to be able to listen to this great singer.
Hello Elizabeth!! How are you doing? Hope am not being rude for writing you first?
This song puts a smile on my face while it presses my heart and I cry with tears. Its a song that give you 3 different feelings at the same time. Beautiful song.
stop being so sensitive
Louie knew what the meaning of life was.....Love ! RIP Louis
Amen Tom Cook.
Tom Cook i agree
RIP louis
this song makes me cry
I Listen to this song every day of my life now. This sadly enough is the only example of what a beautiful soul looks and sounds like that i can find in my 58 years. The Last time i saw anything close to being beautiful was at Woodstock.
This is a message for future generations, don't let music like this die.
This brings back the best memories from being a kid. This was a song we done a play to...the closing song. I'm 35 now. And this song holds so many memories 😊
Amen, Louis. If we would only listen...RIP dear man. Thank you for decades of beautiful music.
this man was way before his time wish he was still here
NuRo461 we aren’t even at his time yet, possibly one of the purest humans to ever live
yes
He was in his time. Just we have forsaken the way of caring for eachother. Not as race or religion. Government or ideas. But as a species. Struggiling to make our time on this rock bareable till we move on or our time is up, how ever you look at it.
If he was, we wouldn't value him. Somewhere along the line, we have lost the human being in most of us.
This has got to be one of the best songs ever written...
Yes
Mark Chamberlain amen to that God bless him and this beautiful song
one of the best songs. There is no doubt about it.. Wow amazing song.
YES
Sam Cooke..i believe wrote it
This song Louis Armstrong, it has always touch my heart strings. You are and will always be a legend never to be forgotten ❤️ ♥️
Nádhera.milujem túto pieseň pozdravujem zo Slovenska ❤❤❤
Jarmilka, máte pravdu, je to najkrajšia pieseň od Armstronga. Julien Slovensko.
this song is for those that understand life
Or perhaps for those that don't but want to.
🙏🙏
Sochi Emma then how does it have any views at all? nobody understands life.
If only we could all be as wise as pops was
This world will become a Paradise, a place of peace..... Yes what a Wonderful World It will be!!!
It is 2020, and this whole song still gives me a glimmer of hope.
🙏
Me too
You just need hope and happiness. Don’t let your circumstances bring you down and make you depressed. This man also had hope and happiness, and he kept a positive outlook on life despite all the circumstances he was in. You can do the same and bounce back from this year
You are so right 🙏🙏🙏
This is a humbling song. The meek will inherit the world in God’s time, amen brother!
Louis Armstrong is one of the best singers I have ever heard in my life this song is so beautiful and just so awesome and so amazing I'm about to be 40 soon and I just nearly cry every time I hear this song.
He is just one of the best singers I have ever heard
I'm soon going to be 76 and it's a beautiful song that has lived with me all the years since it was recorded. One of my favourite songs.
@@poppycat2 I am going to be 39 and this song has been with me my entire life and will always be a awesome song to me all the days of my life
I agree with you. I'm about to be 39 and Louis Armstrong has been a great Singer in my life ever since I was born and will always be in my life till the day I die I've always loved his songs and always will. Almost if not all his music makes me cry in happiness
I really like another song and I think it pairs nicely with What A Wonderful World that I love so dearly 🌍. The other songs name is In This Together! ❤
This song is SOOTHING TO ME 🙏 AS MY SPIRIT GROWS WITH MY LORD JESUS AND GOD 👊💯🤓 I CAN SEE CLEARLY HOW GOD BLESSED US WITH.I PRAY THAT THE WORLD STARTS LOVING EACH OTHER 👊
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying how do you do
They're really saying
I love you
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ooh, yes
@ Juan Camacho
Thank you mate.
Wonderful job
Thank you so much 🙏❤️
Wonderful! but not "sacred night" It is "say good night" in that sentence.
Lindo ,lindos versos ‼️
