[@ajjdude]

"You may not like his sound, thats ok"...UH WHO DOESNT LIKE HIS SOUND?!?! Its not ok. Fight me

[@jessicasopranonotes]

lol!

[@Sebwick430]

Rage acceleration activated!!! 😂😂

[@GodAesthetics]

Louis Armstrong is just straight class. Perfectly unique.

[@loisr3970]

If this does not touch your heart and soul. You don't have either! Mr Armstrong thank you for gracing is with your talent. Heaven must be a musical place.

[@waynebrower5558]

Satchmo can instantly calm and sooth you with his gravelly voice and big smile.

[@ericvanhattem295]

Only 2 minutes in but wanted to say I adore the fact that you simply watched the performance of this legend, icon, genius, pick a word, with a big smile on your face and waited to comment. Now on to what you have to say. :)

[@ericvanhattem295]

I was not disappointed

[@natalieburnham3300]

This song and him always make me smile.❤

[@mikecaetano]

"What a Wonderful World" was a top ten hit in the UK for Louis Armstrong in 1967. This footage is from the BBC, iirc. He passed only a few years later. His music nearly always puts a smile on my face and when it doesn't that's because he's playing the blues and he would rather I shed a tear.

[@glennspreeman1634]

That slide trombone was spot on! Such a wonderful supporting cast! Satchmo, like no other!

[@russellmylott4810]

No other song in the world can make you want to so strongly cry and smile at the same time.

[@TheSeeking2know]

Excellent reaction as always! Not just vocal but performance.

[@sandralorenz1796]

The "Oh yeah" at the end makes this Louis' song. He was one of a kind. Blind people on remote islands know that voice. He just makes you want to smile.

[@lindawarden-burglund9603]

He was always a favorite! I'm almost 74, and remenber watching him on television growing up.

[@photofermata]

My mom loved his music so much and was inspired by him to learn trumpet. She played it all her life. The best part is she named her trumpet, “Satchmo”. I am so thankful she introduced me to so much music, including Mr. Armstrong and Ms. Horne, and so many others. We played a few of his songs at her memorial.

[@dianesparrow1592]

Absolutely love this. Louis Armstrong's performances were magical. I couldn't tell you why, but his version of "What A Wonderful World", has always been my favorite. But I think you hit it on the head with Louis believes in what the song is saying, and I feel that. I love your reactions. I would love to hear your reaction to Dame Shirley Bassey's "Never, Never, Never" , or Emma Kok "Voila" either with Andre Rieu, or Helene Fischer, or Alita Moses, "This Will Be" with Hudson Horns(Alita was a winner at the Montreux Jazz Festival in I believe 2014).

[@walterstevens8676]

Pure magic

[@Richardtv1968]

Love the way you looked at Pops

[@ericzeichert511]

Mr. Armstrong is the first person I remember playing with a trumpet mute. I think he was a trumpeter who sings, and you saw his trumpet in this video. With the right mute, he could play a tune with the same rasp that he sang with..fantastic. He was such a performer that after he became to ill to sing or play, he went into the rocording studio one more time to record a spoken version of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" which remains a holiday favorite.

[@ToRung]

Always be confident and win. You deserved it 😍❤💞🌹 Have a nice day

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Thank you! I will definitely take your advice 💛

[@george217]

Smooth like butter...

[@pamala2112]

Jess, did you know that a picture of you reacting to Mr Armstrong's performance appears in the dictionary under the word, "smitten!"

[@jessicasopranonotes]

☺

[@jimbatten1927]

One of my favorites as a young boy. One of the first songs I always try to work out everytime I try a new instrument. (Piano, organ, trombone, recorder... meh. Harmonica-nailed it) enjoy the tune!

[@artomatt]

I also recommend his filmed performances in Copenhagen 1933, I Cover the Waterfront and especially Dinah. So much joyous expression!

[@dougel4709]

Louis is the BEST!!! ❤❤❤

[@harrilmullany2786]

The most amazing thing I hear in Louis Armstrong’s singing is his unpredictable phrasing which like Billie Holiday’s makes singing along in perfect synchronicity with them very hard to do. And like Billie his diction/story-telling/groove/intonation & honesty are on a level unattainable by anyone else.

[@louisgreen3915]

All anyone needs to know about Louis Armstrong is that when he sings, the sun comes out.

[@robertorossi7695]

for me the best most beautiful songs forever and ever

[@gdonensmingerjr7375]

He was the greatest and most influential entertainer of the 20th Century.

[@tylerhackner9731]

One of my favorites

[@RoKlTh]

Happy 2024! I’d really love to hear your thoughts on Jordan Smith performing “Mary did you know” live with Tommee Profitt recently. I love your videos btw. You seem so passionate and seem like a kind soul. Greetings from Denmark!

[@valentaestewart8000]

I became a subscriber and a fan with this particular reaction video... I ❤ Mr. Armstrong and this song in particular... Thank you for this one....

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Anytime!

[@rufusbayne2230]

His sound is one of the things that makes him great. So many people have tried to sing this song. My advice is "don't". You're just going to screw it up. It belongs to Louis Armstrong. Accept the facts and stay in your lane.

[@brianthieme9969]

*Note to Self* If you're going to listen to a song that always makes you Tear Up, maybe don't listen riding the exercise bike in the Gym...

[@petecogan1]

Masterful

[@lifelover515]

Nice to visit with you again Jess and great choice. Ol' Satch pretty well wrote the book on male jazz vocal stylings. I've seen him even slap a vibrato on his sibilants - don't try that at home! Btw you're a world class act yourself ma'am, just saying.

[@philpiper]

Happy New Year. Thank you for this analysis of Satchmo's touching performance. I recommemd you check out an excerpt of his performance from the movie " High Society" eith Bing Crosby. It is a joy.

[@monolit73]

🎄Happy 2024 Year! The duet of Diana Ankudinova and Yulia Parshuta on the song by Toni Braxton - Un-Break My Heart will bring you real pleasure this holiday days. World-class vocalists in a cool show. According to the conditions of the show "Duets", the participants of the duet do not know with whom they are singing in pairs, they are separated by a mirror partition, and the sound in the ear monitors is greatly distorted. The main essence of the show is the emotions of the artists, when near the end of the performance the partition is lowered and the artists see each other. The best sound is the video from Diana's channel.

[@chrislillback8462]

Honey Make No Mistake, Louis Armstrong Was And Is AN American Treasure!

[@nelsonhemstreet3568]

I would *love* to see a reaction to Renaissance - the English Progressive Rock band from the 70's, with their singer, Annie Haslam.

[@justitia257]

Happy 2024

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Happy 2024 🤗

[@jerkwater407]

If the US had a knight system.... Top of the list, Sir Louis!

[@Carl-o5d]

Louis Armstrong for the Hispanic people, he is the best that ever been. Thank God for our African heritage (Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia) are all African / black influence.

[@irinalipovan533]

Super, great artist! At the same time we are also waiting for reactions to Dimash. A lot has happened since the last reaction🤗

[@ЛюдмилаАбдулина-ы7ф]

Послушайте это произведение в исполнении Дианы Анкудиновой. Она сделала прекрасную версию этой замечательной песни!

[@rodgersmith6891]

I would really appreciate it if you did a reaction to Ren's "Money Game part 3" and/or "The tale of Jenny and screech (complete video/full version). He encourages reactors/reaction so you won't have copyright issues should that be a concern for you

[@marcelopessoa4911]

Fine reaction, congratulations! 👍👏 But... "he can get away with that"? Sorry, of course he can get away with that! He can do anything he wants to, he could do anything he wanted to in such an amazing performance like this one! An epic performance! "And I think to myself: what a wonderful voice"! I am a curious man, so I know many things about music made years, decades before I was born, and I firmly believe that only one guy had a voice even better than mr. Armstrong's voice: the one who was called "king", Nat King Cole! That's why I ask of you a reaction to a Nat King Cole's performance!🙏 In my opinion, perhaps a male singer's closest to perfection performance (my favorite one!) could be heard when Nat King Cole recorded "When I fall in love".

[@kelvinmeekins7421]

Can you react to Lisa Fisher live , how can I ease the pain, thank you

[@petrichor649]

You were lost in that, like me. It makes believe it's gonna be alright.

[@t_frank_dj]

Heyyyyy! I hope you do well and im a fan of your reactions :) Please, i would love see your reaction to this song and Singer :) Gabriel Henrique: Something Beautiful kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH-7Zn5sgK9shM0 Best Wishes and Thank You
