Bing Crosby was a great appreciator of Louis Armstrong. I read that it was on Bing's insistence that Satchmo was cast in High Society. And had Bing insisted so too would have Sinatra.

I laugh so hard when Danny imitates Louis lol But still, both are talented!

[@jackbuckley7816]

I've always been a fan of Danny Kaye, no question. I know also that he was a connossieur of both classical-music as well as jazz. In addition, I know Danny was a huge-fan & admirer of Mr. Armstrong. All that is great & commendable. My only reservation in a joint-number like this is---did Mr. Kaye really need to imitate Satchmo there? Sure, it was totally-respectful & amusing but he's standing right-next to the great-master himself. Kaye should've let Satchmo be Satchmo, as there's only one. No need to compete with an imitation, or try to out-perform the man. Still, the pair's most-entertaining together, regardless.

[@Cindy-ki2ok]

@@jackbuckley7816 Louis Armstrong and Danny Kaye performed this song in a film, "The Five Pennies ". The film was about Jazz musician, Red Nichols; and his band "Red Nichols & His Five Pennies. Their heyday was in the 1920s . Band members included the likes of Glenn Miller, Gene Krupa, Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, etc. Red played the corner (also for the film). The changes in music, his daughter becoming ill with Polio and WWII brought an end .... for awhile. After the War, Red was drawn back to music and formed another "& His Five Pennies" which continued to perform until Red suffered a sudden heart attack in the middle of the night in 1965, when they were performing at The Mint Hotel in Las Vegas. Also during those years, they toured Europe many times.

I'm sure you can still find people that are just as good as him today if you looked. Times changed and so with that mainstream music. I wouldn't call today's musicians jokes either.
