Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald used to collaborate and record a lot of music together. One of my favorite things she'd sometimes do is impersonate Armstrong (to my personal delight.) How well do you think she did?
Ida B Wells' Winchester Rifle@dytsras.bsky.social · yesterdayLouis Armstrong long believed his birthday to be July 4, 1900. He jokingly alludes to Dick Cavett that he "didn't ask his mom all that", and he's just "glad to here." Truth is, Armstrong didnt know his birthday. But now we know today marks 125 years since America's greatest musician was born
Today, Satchmo is best known for "What a Wonderful World." You hear it everywhere. But did you know he released that song only 4 years before his death? How about, it wasn't even that popular.... It wasn't until 20 years later in 1987 that the song took off. Cementing his voice in time

They're saying the "friends" of Nolan Wells are being targeted by "race baiters," so they set up a crowd funding campaign for them yesterday. These people's ability to raise money so quickly should be studied...
