                  When someone ask me which first cd of LOUIS they should buy,i always answer buy this one,it's a perfect selection of LOUIS singing.There are other superb collection of his recordings available,but very few offer you 78 minutes of pure SATCHMO magic.There are the signature songs:ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STEET,C'EST SI BON,WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD,HELLO DOLLY;there are the funny ones:GONE FISHIN',MACK THE KNIFE,JEEPERS CREEPERS;The good book:NOBODY KNOWS THE TROUBLE I'VE SEEN,GO DOWN MOSES;The traditional:WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN,SWEET GEORGIA BROWN and finally,there are hits:WHEN YOU'RE SMILING,ONLY YOU,LA VIE EN ROSE,MOONRIVER.What else do you need?About the only complaint i can formulate is that they did not include the best version of BLUEBERRY HILL available.This is still super vintage SATCHMO.Get it you dog;you rascal you.

                  I loved this C.D. I bought it especially for La Vi En Rose, but to my great supprise, I loved all the songs. The Gospel songs are not only enjoyable, but they are uplifting as well. He is wonderful and he sings the same way he plays his horn. Fabulous! I am going to buy one for my daughter. This is Happy Music. If you want a lift, get this album...Enjoy

                  There are innumerable Louis Armstrong compilations out there, but this one is well worth owning particularly if your tastes run more to popular music than to pure jazz. This is Louis at his melodic best, putting his own stamp on familiar numbers, with both his horn and his voice radiating warmth and humanity. It's impossible to feel blue listening to this CD. There isn't a weak song here, and many are timeless classics. By the way for people who want to explore the jazz side of Louis. I cannot recommend highly enough "Plays W.C. Handy" and "The Great Reunion" with Duke Ellington.

                  Nothing new I can say about Mr. Armstrong, but get this (bargin of a) CD even if you don't normally listen to jazz or Louis. I've listen to this CD so often that it inevitably got scratched and I had to buy a second copy. Do you think you know songs like, "On the Sunny Side of the Street"? You don't until you hear a younger Louis Armstrong sing and scat the subtext, bracketed on each end by first a economic, then an emotional solo. An interesting bonus is, "Sweet Georgia Brown", played by Edmund Hall, Louis' long-time clarinetist -- I never thought I'd willingly listen to that chestnut again, but Hall is unbelieveably good -- I didn't think a clarinet reed could stand contortions like that! The only song I miss from this collection is "Got A Lot of Living To Do", the B-side of the "Hello, Dolly" single. Otherwise, this is my favorite "Best of" CD of my favorite musician. Do your heart and head a favor and get it!

                  5 out of 5 stars Your soul will be singing............2001-04-27

                  This a great CD...you will recognize many if not all of the songs...it is great to get away from the music that is on the radio and listen to songs that bring a smile to your face....Louis Armstrong has amazing talent...every song is full of life....this is the kind of music that is timeless...it will live on forever....

                  Enjoy!
