This song has stood the test of time without losing its charm—it’s simply one of the most uplifting and life-affirming pieces ever created, thanks to the unparalleled Louis Armstrong. Watching this remarkable live performance of What a Wonderful World is the perfect remedy for a gloomy day.
The heartfelt lyrics of this iconic tune offer a fresh perspective on life. As Louis himself once reflected: “It’s been hard work, man. Feels like I’ve spent 20,000 years on the planes and railroads, blowing my chops off. Sure, Pops, I appreciate the ovation, but sometimes, when I’m feeling low and worn out, I wonder if I might’ve been better off staying home in New Orleans.”
