Louis Armstrong inscribes and signs an illustration to the creating
artist
Illustration inscribed and signed: "To Fernando F. Iriberri/From
Louis Armstrong/Satchmo". Iriberri is the artist who drew the illustration.
B/w, 5½x8½. 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. Faded along left and upper edges.
Otherwise, fine condition.
