Louis Armstrong
It ain't whatcha say, it's the way howcha say it.
Louis Armstrong
You blows who you is.
Louis Armstrong
Jazz is what I play for a living.
Louis Armstrong
I got a simple rule about everybody. If you don't treat me right - shame on you.
Louis Armstrong
Musicians don't retire they stop when there's no more music in them.
Louis Armstrong
It makes you feel good, man, makes you forget all the bad things that happen to a Negro. It makes you feel wanted, and when you're with another tea smoker, it makes you feel a special kinship.
Louis Armstrong
Give me a kiss to build a dream on And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss Sweetheart, I ask no more than this A kiss to build a dream on.
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
