The songwriting duo were inspired to create something Louis could sing from his soul. They looked at Armstrong\u2019s distinct voice and storied history of bringing people together. Bob was particularly moved by the idea of crafting something that would provide hope and optimism to listeners. Together, they aimed for this to be a song that would celebrate the wonders of the world, from the beauty of nature to the kindness of people. The two wanted it to be a song that could bring people together in the same way Louis always had over the years.

We need reminders of the world that is and the even better world that could be. We can tell those kinds of stories. We can sing those kinds of songs. It isn\u2019t easy and I don\u2019t always know how, but I do believe it\u2019s possible.

I need to be reminded that moments like this are possible. I continue to try and make things out of hope, but sometimes it\u2019s lonely. Today I thought I\u2019d share this reminder with you: a wonderful world is possible.

Disclosure: I travelled to New Orleans and the Satchmo Summerfest as part of the #MustLoveFestivals project sponsored by Expedia UK. As ever, as always, I kept the right to write what I like. A hallmark of a wonderful world.

George David Weiss knew a thing or two about popular songwriting, with a long track record in the big band world and on Broadway. But Bob Thiele was better known for his background with straight-ahead jazz giants like John Coltrane and Charles Mingus. He was a somewhat unlikely author of a piece that combined everyday lyrical sentiments with a memorable pop melody, given the fact that he excelled at an art form the general public has never embraced. Both men are gone now, but the song is what they are best known for in the pop world.

Armstrong leaves behind a complicated racial legacy. In the 1940s his stage antics became controversial as many younger jazz musicians saw them as reminiscent of blackface minstrelsy. Others protested his silence in the early years of the Civil Rights Movement and his willingness to perform to segregated audiences. Nevertheless, his general popularity persisted and he later became outspoken on issues of race. In 1947 he began to record and tour with a new band, the All Stars, and in the 1950s he was engaged by the US State Department to tour the world and engage in cultural diplomacy. He made international headlines in 1957 when he backed out of a tour to the Soviet Union in protest of the refusal to allow the Black students known as the Little Rock Nine to attend a formerly whites-only public school in Little Rock, Arkansas. 

 "What A Wonderful World" reached number one in the United Kingdom in 1968, but initially it was not a hit in the United States. However, seventeen years after Armstrong's death the song became his last hit in the United States following its inclusion in the movie Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), in which the beauty of the lyrics and music was juxtaposed with scenes of war.

"What A Wonderful World" is now arguably most famous and identifiable song in Armstrong's catalog, and in a day and age that bear a startling likeness to the fears and uncertainties of the late 60s, stands as a needed reminder that, yes, despite it all, it is still a wonderful world.

We always had a bit of R&B really, so it was actually fun to revisit that. We just hadn't done anything really quite like that for a long time. That was one of the reasons to work with someone like Sam Hollander [for the song "Rita Hayworth"] on The Roadside. We knew we could go [with him] into an R&B world, and he's a great songwriter and producer. That's the fun of music really, trying out these things and seeing if you can make them stick.

However it's my favorite example of "Ignorance is Bliss". It's a wonderful world while people all over the world die of starvation and diseases, while corrupt politicians steal money and make bad decisions, while the oil begins to run out and the economy goes down, while new wars start, while we polute with radiation and greenhouse gasses that deplete our atmosphere.

When Louis Armstrong wrote and recorded this song America was segregated and racial tensions were still running VERY high. Americans were also living their lives pretty much certain that a a nuclear bomb was going to strike them at some point. He was no exception. He was the target of much hate. He was in no way ignoring the negative issues going on in the world around him. His message was that despite everything going on, there is so much beauty in this world and so much hope for the children and their future. The whole point of the song is that no matter how bad things can be, just take a look around, admire the world for it's natural beauty and never lose hope for a wonderful future.

I do not think he is denying the bad things in this world. I think he is just appreciating the good things that are there. Don't you just sometimes stop and think, man, life really is a wonderful thing...

Beutiful Song, Louis shows his true love for the world and mother earth, i like this songs simplicity and truth, my favorite line isI hear babies crying I watch them growThey'll learn much more than I'll ever knowtalking about leaving your place to the next generation, reminds me of a good pushkin poem.Its true this world needs some fixing up for our childeren but i would feel sorry for people who cant see past the bad things in this world and dont believe that some people, even knowing about all the bad, can still love this life and feel what is expresed in this beutiful song

The song "What a Wonderful World" helped my dad persevere through challenges. My mom died when I was very young. Her death left my dad a young single father raising two young children in 1969. The song made him happy. And, it showed us there are many places in the world where we could still find joy. 0852c4b9a8
