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.
Something sooo powerful about this song. I'm a music scholar so I've listened to a vast variety of music throughout my life but this one song...I just can't find the words. It's Divine.
This is a very powerful song I agree. What I find amazing is the words of the spoken intro from 1970. It's now 2024 & 54 years later and nothing has changed. So sad for this planet we live on.
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 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.
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
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.
@@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.
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😘
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
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!
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
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.
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 crying, I watch them grow. They'll learn much more, than I'll never Know. And i think to myself what a wonderful world. Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world. Here is the lyrics by Louis Armstrong RIP Legend
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 💔❤️
I see trees of green Red roses too I see them bloom For me and you And I think to myself...

Late 2024 viewer here, TH-cam's algorithm suggests this every once in a while. Listened to it this time while refreshing my feed in another tab, as many have said in comments, Louis grew up so deprived & makes ya feel soul. Head Banger from the glorious 80s
No sex . No drugs . No nudity. All pure real ness or a pure artist. Nobody these days can compare to this man right here. Living in a other universe happy above the world. Much love to this man. Rest In Peace brother. 💔💔💔
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.
My little princess is now 6 months old👼🥰 and she only sleeps to the tune of this wonderful song.😇 I write this comment in the hope that my daughter will read it in the future to imagine these moments.🙏 My little princess Kayla wrote this review 27.8.2024 😘
@@assadhanna3024 ohh, beautiful, so, gee now I'm crying. But that's awesome. Her little brain is a sponge and all the love and blessings of this song will have an impact 🙏
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.
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.
This song saved my life. My wife and I had just lost our first born and I had just finished the funeral arrangements. I walked into the neighborhood liquor store and headed to the counter with a "handle jug". The attendant who knew of the situation, looked at me and said " that one and none of the others have any answers". Just then , this song came on and I actually listened to it. It struck a chord in me. It helped me deal with other situations later on in life. I used to be very closed minded and tunnel visioned. This helped me learn to sit back and smell the roses and not go off half-cocked. Thank you , Satchmo have any answers in them" .
Hi Mario: I was so moved by your posting. I am so terribly sorry about your loss. You have suffered the fate all of us totally dread. The loss of a child. I can't imagine the pain you went through. I almost lost my daughter and the thought of your pain is unthinkable. God bless.
Listening in 2024. I love you Louis❤️I wish I could've known you. I always debate in my head if I was born at the wrong time. You died before I ever existed, but I feel your spirit and your passion as you sang your songs. If there is a heaven, and a good god, you are there.
RIP to your dad, this song reminds me of the good things on Earth, and my wonderful cat, Gary. Aaah, the times, 1st December 2021 will be it's 2 years death anniversary.
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
What a beautiful melody! I was moved to tears, thank you very much, and God bless you. Que bella melodía ! me emocionó hasta las lágrimas, muchas gracias, y que Dios los bendiga.
my dad just passed out 5 months ago, and i remembered his last request, playing this song. and then in the morning, he passed away. after 5 months, i came back to this song and i remembering my father amd started to cry. this song is very relaxing and making everyone putting a smile in their face, especially my father’s. hope y’all have a wonderful day in this wonderful world, peace! 😊✌️
I hope so Pete Fountain and All the great musicians that played together after hours all night because of what people Might say these types where unstoppable they loved lived
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.
Louis Armstrong was in fact adopted by the Jewish Karnofsky family and they bought him his first instrument that led him to sing and create such wonderful songs. If you look at his songs you will notice they have a very Jewish feel to them, for instance "Go Down Moses", "Saint James Infirmary" this song "What a Wonderful World". What many forget is that both Jews and black people were very discriminated against and a Jewish family took him in when he was 7 years old. He even wrote a book about his Jewish family that adopted him in 1907 and he spoke Yiddish. He even wore the star of David until the day he died.
Jacob Glaze Same with my little cousins, I was only 10 when my cousin Millie was born, now I’m 14 and she has a younger sibling called Arabella and she’s turning 2 next week, same with her older sister who’s turning 4! I wish time would go slower.
This song's brings into tears. I remember back when I was in Kindergarten, my teacher read us a book about how beautiful our world was, it included the lyrics as well. She even brought the cassette tape and played it while we were coloring. She looked so happy as she sang the song. 6 years later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and sadly passed away. I'm a freshman in high school and when I hear this song, I can't help but think of her. 😢
I feel the same man. sometimes when I hear this song , it makes me want to cry cuz, it reminds me of my childhood, my old school, my old friends and my grandmother that past away. and I'm very sorry that your friend died. Look on the bright side: at least she is in a better place.
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 crying, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world
This was my Dad's favorite song, he always used to sing it around the house and at karaoke. Haven't had the guts to listen to this song since his death in 2009. I am glad I came across it today. It truly is a wonderful world
Well 100% agree. I'm not afraid about to be died, but i think if your life was good and You were a good person, You could be an Angel around the People You love so much to confort them!. How Many Angels around Us. I have some!. And I believe in them!. To be thankful with life is the Best thing you can do everyday. Believe me!.

I've listened to this since I was a little girl with my parents. I'm 53 yrs now, my kids & grandkids listen to it as well. I still love it to this day.
he was an icon., i miss him so much. but... if you listen, he is there if you believe. it is all about love. Thank-you Louis , You are an angel at heart, Thank-you
When I was a child my world was wonderful. My parents loved me as hard as they could. I am blessed to still have my mom and dad but now I care for them. When I hear this song, I remember my dad throwing me in the air and spinning me around and me screaming with delight. I think of my mom holding and rocking me. She would sing to me and I remember the way I felt comforted and protected by her. I wish everyone could have experienced my childhood. Thanks mom and dad for my wonderful world.
Not many of us experience this type of love or even learn how to show it someone else. You’re very lucky Rachael but I think you know this already. Hold your mum and dad close x
@@kayadoobie9277 You can be sure I do. My father is 84. He can barely walk, nearly blind and deaf. My mother has dementia. I sold my home and moved back into their house to care for them. It isn't easy but I was not so easy when they took care of me. I am 52 and blessed to have them both. ❤
The greatest song ever written, his words and the lyrics of the song say everything….. ❤️ My father has just passed away and I remember Dad humming this most beautiful song back in the 60’s when it was released, life seamed much easier then, the summers lasted longer the world seamed to have less troubles and people talked to each other with a smile not a clenched fist. Anger, Ignorance, Greed and Fear seem nowadays to be all consuming if we can just flip these over we’d have Happiness, Wisdom, Generosity and Confidence… it’s still a wonderful world though…❤️
My darling daughter came into the world not 4 days ago by way of C-section, I’ve never cried such tears of joy. As I held her for the first time I began to sing this song and all the Doctors and midwives joined me in a harmonious chorus. It was the most beautiful moment of my life ❤️
I needed this today. In times of trouble, like the current situation, we need to be reminded of how wonderful things can be. Love, not war, makes this world wonderful. Thanks Louis.
My lovely granddaughter Mia what is a Dana Farber today splicing DNA, doing some research. she turned 17 today still in high school and already has done so much and professional research. I sent her this song and told her that the last line made me cry also. She replied that she also was crying. I said “happy birthday tears”.
This song has something, I don't know what it is that makes me tear up every single time. If someone puts this song on, I have to pretend like everything is ok and go into another room. Wherever you God, please stop ALL suffering in the world, with humanity, animal, plant life, environment, and everything else.
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.
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 ✌
@@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
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.
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❤
Thanksgiving 2018. 57 yrs old and still listening to this song. Hard times along the way and this was one song I turned to when times were rough. It gave me perspective, inspiration. He was like an old friend telling me "it will be ok. Look at the bright side, still a wonderful world." Pops, thank you. Thru the years you still speak to me.
In memory of my best friend Sharon. Who had passed on two days ago. December 11th 1956 - December 9th 2018. I will never ever forget her. RIP she was a tire friend indeed.
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."
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?
I'm listening to this at the end of March 2020 while hunkered and bunkered down during the COVID19 crisis... it stilk comforts me no end. Thanks pops. ❤❤🎶🎵🙌🏾
I love this song in which I forget for so many years. Haven't heard this song in years, years. Recently My Grandson told he his Kindergarten Graduation class is singing this song. The other day he was singing it and yes I had to hold back a tear. I must re-learn this song to definitely sing along on his graduation. OH YESSSSSSSS. RIP Louis Armstrong, thank you.
This was played as the final song at my pops’ funeral. He was the kindest, funniest, most charming man you’d ever have met. He’d been through hell and back in life, and still managed to keep a grin from ear to ear, and he’d always be full of jokes, and he could lighten up the darkest of days for anyone in a matter of moments, and he was just genuinely amazing. He’s my motivation, my inspiration, my hero. he was perfect, and now he’s gone. But I know he’s looking down on me, and I know it’s only a matter of time before I’ll meet him again❤️I love you pops👼🏼
aww why is it that the greatest people on earth leave so early or at least why does it feel like they always leaving early. If heaven exists, I can't wait to meet these great people!
Best version of this song. Hands down, please. If it were possible to save the world with a song, Louie had what it took. I love you sir. Thank you for this wonderful gift.
Absolutely. We should preserve his message and promote it, for it speaks the highest truths - Reflection, and that Love shall conquer All. Your comment should be at the top of the list my friend.
This is actually two versions chopped together here. The spoken word intro is lifted from another musical version for that particular recording - notable for its different shuffle/groove/jazzier laidback take; which IMHO is equally as beautiful as the commercial version. So yeah, this video version chops that spoken word onto the version that every radio station and CD compilation uses. Took some searching on youtube but THIS is the original spoken intro version plus its actual song version, check it out from 1:11mins - th-cam.com/video/U9_JMOnMjms/w-d-xo.html

My son with Autism surprised me by asking me to sing him this song - must have heard it somewhere. He smiled so beautifully while I sang it - thank you Great One, Louis Armstrong. RIP

Growing up in the 1970s in rural Nigeria, my father, an elementary school teacher, had this box 'National Panasonic' radio. I heard this eternal song on radio one day: I had never been so mesmerized and enchanted with music. And I was just a kid! The voice sounded so piercing and gripping. I didn't get all the lyrics, but just to hear 'what a wonderful world' 3 times was so powerful and so soothing. Never got to hear it again until some 30 years later, and then, now getting the lyrics clearly, on my own cd, the song became sacred to me. However, I am listening to this version - with this pre-song message from Satchmo himself, for the first time. I feel so emotional, feel pity for this world - this humanity that is going beserk! Look at the issues raised by Lois - way back, and it's getting worse! And for me as a preacher, the solution he proferred resonates with me: LOVE! If there's true love in the hearts of all of us for one another and for the world, that would be it. All issues will be overcome when we feel and care for one another. May God bless the memory of the great Lois.
Bloody good to here mate...I know I have suprised my grandparents when they see me listening to a song they heard as a child, or dancing as a teen. Music is truly aomething to behold to all. Best luck out there mate.
@@silentdragon1555 Thanks; all the best. I pray life treats us well and we can be left to enjoy some good old music for as long as we have the privilege to live. God bless.

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
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.....
November 2024. My son just turned 21 and love this song since a child. Life is not esay for us but trying hard for him not to have the life i have had. I hope im not became a burden for him one day. As i listen this pice he can hear and are sining along and i write this comment without hi knowing.
Amen girl , my x wife called me and asked what was that song we heard the night our son was born. Guess what, I remembered, and it was a wonderful world.
This was once my favorite song in the whole entire world til I found out how cruel the world was but I’ve never heard this intro of this song his words are more comforting than the song so I can enjoy it again ❤
Louis Armstrong had several nicknames but only those closest to him were allowed to call him pops, thank you for your musical talent and positive outlook for the world. Louis went through countless hardships throughout his life but was able to have some positive words whilst serenading audiences from all over the world, thank you Mr. Armstrong.
Lost my mum in September 2022. On Sunday the 4th of February 2024 we lost my dad. He & my mum were both 84 & had been together for well over 60 years. 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
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.
Even though we are experiencing in this day and age the turmoil and unrest, it is still a most wonderful world! Thank you Louis, your words were well spoken and with those words of wisdom, I will certainly do my part to continue to spread the love!
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.

Something sooo powerful about this song. I'm a music scholar so I've listened to a vast variety of music throughout my life but this one song...I just can't find the words. It's Divine.
This is a very powerful song I agree.
What I find amazing is the words of the spoken intro from 1970.
It's now 2024 & 54 years later and nothing has changed.
So sad for this planet we live on.
It's 2024. This is timeless. Relevant today more than ever. Preach it Louie! Amen.
Verdade! O mundo nunca precisou de tanta consciência para aplacar a insanidade dos dias atuais...
💯 that is why I play this for all the kids that play at the park with mine. If I'm out there swinging them kids hear me singing 😅
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 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
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

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 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

That’s pretty deep. I might have to use that.
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!

Don't worry, coronavirus made positive a lot of people.
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.
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 crying, I watch them grow. They'll learn much more, than I'll never Know. And i think to myself what a wonderful world. Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.
Here is the lyrics by Louis Armstrong RIP Legend
Incredible to think this guy was born 121 years ago, and yet I can still get to appreciate his beautiful voice.

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 💔❤️

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.....

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 !
This song saved my life. My wife and I had just lost our first born and I had just finished the funeral arrangements. I walked into the neighborhood liquor store and headed to the counter with a "handle jug". The attendant who knew of the situation, looked at me and said " that one and none of the others have any answers".
Just then , this song came on and I actually listened to it. It struck a chord in me. It helped me deal with other situations later on in life. I used to be very closed minded and tunnel visioned. This helped me learn to sit back and smell the roses and not go off half-cocked.
Thank you ,

It's now November 2024. I will never stop listening to this great man
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.
Louis Armstrong was in fact adopted by the Jewish Karnofsky family and they bought him his first instrument that led him to sing and create such wonderful songs. If you look at his songs you will notice they have a very Jewish feel to them, for instance "Go Down Moses", "Saint James Infirmary" this song "What a Wonderful World". What many forget is that both Jews and black people were very discriminated against and a Jewish family took him in when he was 7 years old. He even wrote a book about his Jewish family that adopted him in 1907 and he spoke Yiddish. He even wore the star of David until the day he died.

Such a beautiful song makes my ❤heart melt
This song's brings into tears. I remember back when I was in Kindergarten, my teacher read us a book about how beautiful our world was, it included the lyrics as well. She even brought the cassette tape and played it while we were coloring. She looked so happy as she sang the song. 6 years later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and sadly passed away. I'm a freshman in high school and when I hear this song, I can't help but think of her. 😢
Bacon & Eggs im realy touched by your story. she sounds like a very peacful happy lady. what book was it called
Bacon & Eggs sorry to hear that.be strong and enjoy those memories
I feel the same man. sometimes when I hear this song , it makes me want to cry cuz, it reminds me of my childhood, my old school, my old friends and my grandmother that past away. and I'm very sorry that your friend died. Look on the bright side: at least she is in a better place.

My father has just passed away and I remember Dad humming this most beautiful song back in the 60’s when it was released, life seamed much easier then, the summers lasted longer the world seamed to have less troubles and people talked to each other with a smile not a clenched fist. Anger, Ignorance, Greed and Fear seem nowadays to be all consuming if we can just flip these over we’d have Happiness, Wisdom, Generosity and Confidence… it’s still a wonderful world though…❤️
The world should hear this over and over.

It should be a international law, which requires every radio station in the world, must play this song, at least once daily.
Yeah 🤗
My darling daughter came into the world not 4 days ago by way of C-section, I’ve never cried such tears of joy. As I held her for the first time I began to sing this song and all the Doctors and midwives joined me in a harmonious chorus. It was the most beautiful moment of my life ❤️
congratulations!

i turned this song on thinking exactly the same thing.🤎
My lovely granddaughter Mia what is a Dana Farber today splicing DNA, doing some research. she turned 17 today still in high school and already has done so much and professional research. I sent her this song and told her that the last line made me cry also. She replied that she also was crying. I said “happy birthday tears”.
This song has something, I don't know what it is that makes me tear up every single time. If someone puts this song on, I have to pretend like everything is ok and go into another room. Wherever you God, please stop ALL suffering in the world, with humanity, animal, plant life, environment, and everything else.
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 ✌

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
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❤

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.

Thanksgiving 2018. 57 yrs old and still listening to this song. Hard times along the way and this was one song I turned to when times were rough. It gave me perspective, inspiration. He was like an old friend telling me "it will be ok. Look at the bright side, still a wonderful world."
Pops, thank you. Thru the years you still speak to me.
It is so good
Touching words Jacob.
👍👍
23 years old and listening to real music 👌
You speak truth brother, and it’s the same for me: perspective, inspiration and above all Love.
In memory of my best friend Sharon. Who had passed on two days ago. December 11th 1956 - December 9th 2018. I will never ever forget her. RIP she was a tire friend indeed.
may he rest in peace brother.
Lucinda Archibald Blessings to you
y'all will meet again!!
I’m sorry for your loss , losing a best friend is the hardest thing in life :/
Lucinda Archibald I pray that she’s in a better place now !!! Stay strong God bless you !!
Mi sorry to hear
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?
Iam 70 years old.all my life I lison to this tone water falls from my eyes down my face.love this song.❤❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
This song is needed during these trying time !!
Michael Turner god bless you stay safe
Yes
Amen
Sharing this song to all 💗💗💗was my mother's favorite ..sure miss her 😍

Pass the Love and remember you cant shake hands with a clinched fist. Teach our children well and show Love and Compassion would be a great start.
So true So true
Well said Earl,I wish more people remembered that 🌞
I wish that was the case, but this world and universe are cold and unforgiving.

I'm listening to this at the end of March 2020 while hunkered and bunkered down during the COVID19 crisis... it stilk comforts me no end. Thanks pops. ❤❤🎶🎵🙌🏾
MasalaiMeri ikr wonderful song I love it
I'm crying like a baby! I'm listening to all the greats from the past that have amazing messages.
Me too! This song played for our first dance at our wedding in 2003!

I love this song in which I forget for so many years. Haven't heard this song in years, years. Recently My Grandson told he his Kindergarten Graduation class is singing this song. The other day he was singing it and yes I had to hold back a tear. I must re-learn this song to definitely sing along on his graduation. OH YESSSSSSSS. RIP Louis Armstrong, thank you.
This was played as the final song at my pops’ funeral. He was the kindest, funniest, most charming man you’d ever have met. He’d been through hell and back in life, and still managed to keep a grin from ear to ear, and he’d always be full of jokes, and he could lighten up the darkest of days for anyone in a matter of moments, and he was just genuinely amazing. He’s my motivation, my inspiration, my hero. he was perfect, and now he’s gone. But I know he’s looking down on me, and I know it’s only a matter of time before I’ll meet him again❤️I love you pops👼🏼
Street Soldier so sorry
Street Soldier thank you for sharing your story... This world needs more men like your dad!!
aww why is it that the greatest people on earth leave so early or at least why does it feel like they always leaving early. If heaven exists, I can't wait to meet these great people!
thats awesome man
Best version of this song. Hands down, please. If it were possible to save the world with a song, Louie had what it took. I love you sir. Thank you for this wonderful gift.
That makes two of us! 💙🌈🌞
Absolutely. We should preserve his message and promote it, for it speaks the highest truths - Reflection, and that Love shall conquer All. Your comment should be at the top of the list my friend.
Amen
This is actually two versions chopped together here.
The spoken word intro is lifted from another musical version for that particular recording - notable for its different shuffle/groove/jazzier laidback take; which IMHO is equally as beautiful as the commercial version. So yeah, this video version chops that spoken word onto the version that every radio station and CD compilation uses. Took some searching on youtube but THIS is the original spoken intro version plus its actual song version, check it out from 1:11mins - th-cam.com/video/U9_JMOnMjms/w-d-xo.html
Ich bin fest davon überzeugt daß AlLLES EINES ist und ja auch ein Lied die Welt retten kann!!!
Es gibt absolut nichts was dagegen spricht
some people think I'm crazy but i have a strong believe that our world still is wonderfully special.
yes you are
In this case i think that's a compliment.
Well, it depends on the kind of wonderful you mean... Could we be better? Yes. Worse? Unfortunately yes...
the
your so true me and you together with that the world is amazing
There's beauty in everything around us. Only we have to see it with our hearts.
“Love baby love. That’s the secret “. I am a retired school teacher. I found the good in all my kids. I really miss teaching but really miss the kids. Nothing more rewarding than to love and be loved.

Teaching is a noble profession. Thank you
Being a teacher is a greatest thing. In our culture, we should treat our teachers as the gods.
I was a teaching assistant for 18 years, I miss the students so very much. Lots had learning difficulties and some had deep emotional problems, I still keep intouch with many of them to day and they are going into their 30's x
Thank you!
My son with Autism surprised me by asking me to sing him this song - must have heard it somewhere. He smiled so beautifully while I sang it - thank you Great One, Louis Armstrong. RIP
That just made me cry, beautiful.
This classic song from a music icon should be the International song of the world.
I AM FROZEN IN TIME,SONG IS TOO PRETTY,TOO AMAZING,LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER,STOP THE HATE.

My grandfather passed away this early morning and loved this song. His soul was as beautiful as its lyrics. Thank you Grandpa, I love you and always will
Beautiful words. Im sure you will always miss him.!
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, and I watched 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!
How i feel on shrooms
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you.
@@kentuckysmoose yo all never know
It makes me cry I don’t know why
Growing up in the 1970s in rural Nigeria, my father, an elementary school teacher, had this box 'National Panasonic' radio. I heard this eternal song on radio one day: I had never been so mesmerized and enchanted with music. And I was just a kid! The voice sounded so piercing and gripping. I didn't get all the lyrics, but just to hear 'what a wonderful world' 3 times was so powerful and so soothing. Never got to hear it again until some 30 years later, and then, now getting the lyrics clearly, on my own cd, the song became sacred to me. However, I am listening to this version - with this pre-song message from Satchmo himself, for the first time. I feel so emotional, feel pity for this world - this humanity that is going beserk! Look at the issues raised by Lois - way back, and it's getting worse! And for me as a preacher, the solution he proferred resonates with me: LOVE! If there's true love in the hearts of all of us for one another and for the world, that would be it. All issues will be overcome when we feel and care for one another.
May God bless the memory of the great Lois.
Great message! God bless
Bloody good to here mate...I know I have suprised my grandparents when they see me listening to a song they heard as a child, or dancing as a teen.
Music is truly aomething to behold to all.
Best luck out there mate.
@@silentdragon1555 Thanks; all the best. I pray life treats us well and we can be left to enjoy some good old music for as long as we have the privilege to live. God bless.
Amen Hallelujah!!!
Thank you for the message sir, god bless
I grew up in the 1960s and remember my Mom loved to listen to Mr. Armstrong❤😊 Thank you Mom, I miss you!❤😊
4 yrs ago, my beautiful mama requested this song at her funeral.
I miss you Mama. Chat to you everyday ❤ Big love to Papa ♥️

Lyrics:
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and for 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
Oh yeah
SUCH A CLASSIC AND BEAUTIFUL SONG
Yes I loved my son singing it he loved him.he knew I loved him. I still have his cd.such a great 👍 went through a lot

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!
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.....

😊😊
@John Smith I cried too omg😂😂😭😍
Hope you named her Satchmo 😁😁😁
A wonderful song sang by a wonderful man.. .
Amen girl , my x wife called me and asked what was that song we heard the night our son was born. Guess what, I remembered, and it was a wonderful world.
Yes indeed!
That's right
In a wonderful world
@@Projectsoul477 Listen to the song man, ease your mind
It awesome that he made this song cause back then a person like himself seemingly had a lot to complain about but yet he was still so grateful WOW
For as bad as this country has been there's no place on this Earth he could've sung this song. God bless him.
Amen Alabanza
Alabanza ' What the fuck?
You could of worded it alot better just sayin
I’m sorry, what did he have to complain about?
@@roboh1981 well for starters black people weren't treated very well back then
This was once my favorite song in the whole entire world til I found out how cruel the world was but I’ve never heard this intro of this song his words are more comforting than the song so I can enjoy it again ❤
I wish more people would listen to the beginning of this song when he speaks. Need it now more than ever.
Love is always here brotha
i've just heard the intro now for the first time.
Just what the world needs to do.
Going on 72 and trust me this has always been my very special in the heart God favorite song of all time!!! All you need is love!
*the love flowing in the comments gives me chills, if only we could be like this In real life*
WE CAN..It's Just "Harder" To Be Kind Loving Caring To Each Other? Then The "Easiness" Of Anger Hatred Mad At Each Other!! THAT'S ALL
This is real life
Love and Hugs . We can be like this in real life "If lot's more of us love each other " Stay Beautiful Hun
we can
Bawn
This has got to be one of the best songs ever written...

Louis Armstrong had several nicknames but only those closest to him were allowed to call him pops, thank you for your musical talent and positive outlook for the world. Louis went through countless hardships throughout his life but was able to have some positive words whilst serenading audiences from all over the world, thank you Mr. Armstrong.

Lost my mum in September 2022. On Sunday the 4th of February 2024 we lost my dad. He & my mum were both 84 & had been together for well over 60 years. 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.
Lost my mam in 2019 💔 my dad 10yrs before, reunited 😢 xx sorry for your loss 💔 xx
@@julieglover6484 Thank you ❤️
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.
Even though we are experiencing in this day and age the turmoil and unrest, it is still a most wonderful world! Thank you Louis, your words were well spoken and with those words of wisdom, I will certainly do my part to continue to spread the love!
