Wisdom on A Sunday! LOUIS ARMSTRONG

 

Remembering Louis Armstrong, born on August 4, 1901, in New Orleans -- he died on July 6, 1971. Armstrong often stated that he was born on July 4, 1900, a date that has been noted in many biographies. Although he died in 1971, it was not until the mid-1980s that his true birth date of August 4, 1901 was discovered by researcher Tad Jones through the examination of baptismal records.

Armstrong was born into a very poor family in New Orleans, Louisiana. Nicknamed Satchmo or Pops, Armstrong was an American jazz trumpeter, singer, and one of the pivotal and most influential figures in jazz music.
