LOUIS ARMSTRONG
Black and white publicity photograph from the 1937 film Artists
and Models
Photograph inscribed and signed: "Best wishes to Russ./From/Louis
Armstrong". B/w, 10x8¼. Captioned: "Louis Armstrong In A Scene with
Martha Raye/From The Paramount Musical 'Artists and Models'." In bottom margin,
"10/31/43" is written in an unknown hand. On July 4, 2000,
America marked the centennial of the birth of LOUIS ARMSTRONG (1901-1971), her
most celebrated jazz musician. "Satchmo", short for "satchel mouth",
popularized jazz singing, scat singing and improvised instrumental solos to the
mainstream public. He was America's musical ambassador to the world, a
multi-talented vocalist, trumpet player and entertainer who influenced scores of
vocalists and musicians. In 1967, Satchmo recorded "It's A Wonderful World",
which did not become a hit until 1987 (16 years after his death), when it was
featured in the film Good Morning, Vietnam. "Hello, Dolly!", a tune that
he hated the first time he heard it, became another signature song after his
show-stopping rendition in the 1969 film starring Barbra Streisand. Lightly
creased and soiled in margins. Otherwise, fine condition.
