Louis was literally LOVED by literally EVERYONE. Bing was one of the biggest stars/singers of all time.

[@reallymysterious4520]

Bing was one of the first stars to fight for racial equality and insisted that Louis appear in several of his movies. Frank Sinatra was also in this movie and he sang a duet with Bing. For me Bing's voice was unparalleled - above Sinatra, Como, Williams, Bennett, Cole, and the rest. Hopefully you can react to Louis doing a duet with the Greatest female singer of all time - Ella Fitzgerald

[@wendyryder2708]

I TOTALLY agree! I know I’m probably going to get some flak, however I was NEVER a fan of Sinatra! Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and Andy Williams ALL had beautiful voices!

[@OhArchie]

Louis Armstrong was the first African American to get billing in a Hollywood movie, because of Bing Crosby. The Movie was Pennies From Heaven, 1934.

@@wendyryder2708No flak, and to each his or her own. But there is a reason the rest of the world knew Frank as “The Voice” 🙂

Louie said Bing's voice is like "liquid gold."

[@macmachine]

Every time I watch this clip I actually cry. They're just so other-level excellent.

[@d.j.starling3559]

You would absolutely LOVE the movie this is from -- High Society, 1956, also starring Frank Sinatra & Grace Kelly -- her last movie before leaving Hollywood to become Princess Grace of Monaco. Lots of WONDERFUL songs (all written by Cole Porter), fun story, & some great writing have made High Society one of my all-time Top 10 movie favorites. I promise you, Harri, you will absolutely LOVE it!!!!!

[@amileoj9043]

What a joy, from start to finish! A nice little bit of business here is when Bing addresses Louis by nickname, but rather than using the commonplace "Satchmo" he calls him by the honorific that all jazz musicians universally used: "Pops."

[@claytonskids6764]

Ohhh YEAHhHH 👍 MmmHMMM ✨ thanks for sharing 🤗

[@davebzen795]

Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong are two of the all-time greatest and their music is timeless. This is truly an excellent submission by Stephen and your review, Harri.

[@StevenW1958]

As soon as Satchmo starts singing, tears well up in my eyes. What a classic performance. Thank you Harri and Stephen for a great time and Harri, your reaction is unparalleled.

Pure magic!

Such a super song by two of the best ever! Thank's Stephen and Harri.

A Number 1 Class Act! Yourself Included ✌️👯

[@elainemarsh5170]

From this same movie, there is an EXCELLENT duet between Crosby and Sinatra. It’s a must see.

[@bvscfanatic]

Louis Armstrong is one of the very few people whose music I can listen to all day long without being bored. Most of all, I love the music that he recorded back in the 1920's and 1930's. Satchmo is well known for Hello, Dolly and Wonderful World, but it's the really old stuff that I love most. It's gritty and raw and so real. There was never anybody like him, and there never will be. And you can tell just how much admiration and affection he and Bing Crosby have for each other. They were two very different artists with the same goals and the same musical values. Whenever they came together, it was pure fire.

[@marybaillie8907]

Written by Cole Porter for the 1956 film "High Society", he researched with Fred Astaire as he felt Louis would want a jazz song. Having a 30 year friendship, the two, Bing and Louie have no problem showing a respect and love for each other on this fantastic duet together. The horns are so captivating, the brushes on the drums and the orchestral backing such a perfect addition to these two so recognizable gentlemen. Glorious time in music. They produced a duet album in 1960 called Bing & Satchmo which includes this treat. Great reaction Harri 😊 Thanks Harri and Stephen. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@harpergras]

Two of the all time greatest.

[@fredze-om9qv]

Was not so much a fan of Bing before. Didn't know he could swing so well ! Did he record alot of that ? This song converted me. Louis the legend I knew all about. The miracle of YT again. I watch this about daily just for fun.

[@larrydewein]

Bing was the BEST VOICE EVER AND Louis the BEST TRUMPET PLAYER EVER!!

[@hockemeyer1]

I miss the richness of an acoustic bass. I've been listening to Bing and Satchmo since 1951.

Bing and Louis and killer combo..

[@user-yk5ld8tj2h]

I read a bio of Armstrong. No one had a bad thing to say. People loved him. Bing was a huge fan and very much influenced by Armstrong early in his career.

[@user-jl5lo6cx4g]

That's jazz!!!!

[@stephenqualtrough7322]

Thanks Harri. Louis also sings rhe open ing title song of the movie from the bands tour bus giving a sassy commentary on what we are about to see enacted. The same also with the end title. Glorious stuff from Louis in a telling cameo appearance e . This was a great reaction Haarri. So glad you enjoyed it. 😢

What can say is this is SO COOOOOL MAN. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@giorgiopolloni7936]

In the same movie, there’s another hysterically funny and excellent song by Crosby and Sinatra called Well, Did You Evan! as well as another terrific one called Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? again with Sinatra and Celeste Holme, one of the best comic actresses ever. Cole Porter s songs are so witty and delicious!

[@Cynthia...]

Such a great song, and I remember this movie, although it was quite a long time ago. Great selection, Stephen and Harri.

[@chrissmith3369]

Louis was definitely the king but people forget how good Bing Crosby really was at singing jazz.

[@jamesbyersmusic]

Timeless stuff, amazing!! 🙂

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

The film "High Society" was released in July of 1956 and starred Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra. It was one of my mom's favorite movies and I watched it with her many times. So watching this video brought back a lot of wonderful memories. My mom also had the soundtrack album from this movie and played the heck out of it. Bing & Frank did a duet on the song titled "Well Did You Evah!" which you would probably enjoy, Harri. Frank & Celeste Holm did a duet on a song titled "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" which you also might enjoy. Loved watching your reaction.

[@jackempson3044]

Louis livened it up when he came in

[@User2718218]

I don't know if you can get it posted without a strike, but check out the end of the movie Hello Dolly! were Barbara Streisand sings the song and Louis Armstrong has an extended cameo and sings with her. This is musical-style music which is great. However, look at the whole song as an example of how Amazing Hollywood could produce a musical. The power of Americana. The production is absolutely fantastic. Barbara Streisand is in her prime, the movie was released in 1969. If you are in the "right frame of mind" the presentation is completely overwhelming in a positive sense. It's simply amazing.

[@eljoh]

Fcheck out the album Louis and Bing did together in 1960 arranged and conducted by Billy May. It’s amazing and much written about . Johnny Mercer strolled in and joined the chorus of voices on -i think - Bye Bye Blues, and takes a one line solo too. Fine stuff ! I found it in a discount bin in 1980 as an LP and now has been reissued on CD and the vinyl is a collector’s item.

[@mgentles3]

I'm old enough to remember The Ed Sullivan Show and other variety shows on black and white television. When Satchmo was performing on one of those it was a must see...or a must hear. Loved that man. Such a personality. Always upbeat and he only tooted his own horn when he played.

[@debbiechang5781]

Great request Stephen. This was very enjoyable. Harri loved it too🌺✌️

[@stinky60096]

You need to watch a movie called "The Five Pennies". True story about Red Nichols (a cornet player), but Louis Armstrong plays himself and has great musical battles with Red Nichols (played by Danny Kaye in my favorite role of his).

[@littlecharlie4293]

Just so GREAT !!!

[@BackyardFlorida]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@janewatkins9801]

Know this song off by heart. Wonderful stuff 🎉 🥂 😊

[@geraldbryden6720]

You should try "A Kiss to Build a Dream On" it starts with a soothing Satchmo vocal but when the horn comes in WOW!

[@tuffymoon3702]

I wish I grew up in the age of this music! This is so fantastically entertaining and crisp and clear and beautiful. Then again I wished I could've been old enough to go to Woodstock! It's just music period and the way it soothes the spirit and soul! Great reaction!

[@Lakeshore14]

This was so great!!! Such a happy, upbeat performance. This music will be around forever. Thanks Stephen for referring this to Harri and thanks Harri for the great reaction. There is a similar video with Louis Armstrong and Sinatra doing Birth of the Blues. It’s a keeper too. Would love to see your reaction to that as well. 👏👏🇨🇦

[@user-xl5hk3te9s]

You're a gentleman, Harri. I loved your comment on the elegant mode of dress. You need to watch the whole movie with all the great Cole Porter tunes. You really need to do a reaction on Bing and Frank's "Well, Did You Evah?" which is a hoot. Additionally, you can't pass up the beautiful "True Love" with Bing and Grace Kelly. Movies were great when they had stars.

[@jescis0]

My favorite Louie Armstrong is "Hello Dolly", "Baby, It's Cold Outside"(with Velma Middleton) and "Mack The Knife" he's really awesome and who I inspired to be when I was playing Trumpet 🎺🎺 growing up!

[@NancyPollyCy]

There's a great duet of "When the Saints Come Marchin' In" with Danny Kaye and Louis Armstrong . At least as much fun as this one!

[@325diane]

Many years after they first became friends, Crosby said in an interview that he wished to “acknowledge his debt” to Armstrong, describing him as “the beginning and the end” of music in the United States".

[@brendanmarchal]

Ironically this track "Now you has jazz", trying to define what is Jazz to the white audience, is more a boogie (blues structure) than a Jazz type. Fantastic piece by the way

[@swoesteban5570]

Bing Crosby is known as "The Crooner", Bing could turn the McDonald's menu into a hit.

[@ninalehman9054]

For some reason, I had a brain fart and thought it was Armstrong and Frank Sinatra. I’m looking at it and thinking, “that’s Bing Crosby!” 🤦🏻‍♀️ This was my parents era and partly my generation (boomers). Such wonderful movies. What’s sad is that such an act could only be seen in the movies. Black musicians could only play in black clubs. Mind you, the whites loved jazz music, but wouldn’t allow a black jazz musician into their whites only music venues. So Hollywood made movies about blacks and whites living together in harmony via music, and it was as much a fiction as Star Wars is.

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

So you are better to watch the whole movie.

[@stevenkarner6872]

Bing was a bit of a one trick pony. It’s just that was a damn good trick.

[@OhArchie]

Bing Crosby was the highest grossing entertainer of the 20th century until Michael Jackson came along. He was a singer, appeared in numerous Hollywood movies (often as the lead), owned television production studios and developed several hit shows (Hogan’s Heroes among them), was a song writer, orchestra leader, the list goes on far beyond one trick. He even owned several (winning) thoroughbred ponies…
