Louis Armstrong
Unless you know what it is I ain't never going to be able to explain it to you.
Louis Armstrong
There's a thing I've dreamed of all my life, and I'll be damned if it don't look like it's about to come true-to be King of the Zulu's parade. After that, I'll be ready to die.
Louis Armstrong
There's only two ways to sum up music either it's good or it's bad. If it's good you don't mess about it, you just enjoy it.
Louis Armstrong
It's America's classical music ... this becomes our tradition ... the bottom line of any country in the world is what did we contribute to the world? ... we contributed Louis Armstrong
