If you don't like Louis Armstrong," the great gospel singer Mahalia Jackson once said, "you don't know how to love." That Armstrong himself knew how to love is obvious to anyone who has heard him caress a love song. He could play hot and he could play loud, but hen the subject was romance, he could also play -- and sing -- as pretty as anyone.
Here are ten odes to the glory, the thrill, and the occasional sadness of love, all enlivened by the distinctive and delightful Louis Armstrong touch. |
