Jazz trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong was born on this day in 1901. He was one of the most influential figures in jazz, had a career that spanned five decades and several eras in jazz. This performance of “La Vie En Rose” is from Belgium in 1959.
You and I had the same idea today. 🙂

I have a version of Louis singing this iconic song from the great Edith Piaf. Obviously, I have her rendition as well.
