Description:
路易斯·阿姆斯特朗（Louis Armstrong，1901年8月4日－1971年7月6日），美國爵士樂音樂家。阿姆斯特朗是20世紀最著名的爵士樂音樂家之一，被稱為“爵士樂之父”。他以超凡的個人魅力和不斷的創新，將爵士樂從新奧爾良地區帶向全世界，變成廣受大眾歡迎的音樂形式。阿姆斯特朗早年以演奏小號成名，後來他以獨特的沙啞嗓音成為爵士歌手中的佼佼者。
路易斯出生於紐奧良貧民區，自幼父親就離開家庭不知所終。他曾因犯事進過少年感化院，並因此在那裡學會了吹小號。 18歲的時候他成為了娃娃歐瑞(Kid Ory)樂團的短號手。 1922年，他加入奧立佛國王Joe King Oliver樂團，師從奧立佛。
1927年以他命名的樂隊Louis Armstrong And His Stompers誕生，這時他開始以自己的略帶沙啞的歌聲聞名，代表作“多美好的世界啊”（What a Wonderful World），1968年首次錄製。
"What a Wonderful World" is a song by Bob Thiele, George David Weiss, and George Douglas. The song was first recorded by Louis Armstrong and released as a single in 1968, and was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
Armstrong died just after a heart attack on July 6, 1971, at age 69, 11 months after playing a famous show at the Waldorf-Astoria's Empire Room. Shortly before his death he stated, "I think I had a beautiful life. I didn't wish for anything that I couldn't get and I got pretty near everything I wanted because I worked for it." He was residing in Corona, Queens, New York City, at the time of his death. He was interred in Flushing Cemetery, Flushing, in Queens, New York City.
