I have to plead ignorance when it comes to most of this gentleman's music but What A Wonderful World is a lovely song

Definitely. I was just listening to it on pandora, and I figured a thread would be a perfect place to express my love for it and the artist in general.

All I can really add is when you talk most unique, authentic, genuine vocal Louis has to be in the top five. Who else sounds ANYTHING like him? I DARE anyone to give me anyone!

Top Thread P&C, Louis was a master in the jazz world and a true legend.

^I agree completely

I figured you'd enjoy this thread Sox

 

[Sox]

^^ He would definitely be on my long list of people I would have loved to invite to a party/dinner P&C.

 

[Prime]

I bet he'd be a great time to just hangout with. I think he could offer a lot of knowledge judging on how early he was put onto this earth. His knowledge about things must have been quite vast.

 

[Sox]

^^Yeah you're dead right and I would be hanging on every word. IMO he has justifiable claim to be placed in the top three most influential musicians of the last century.

Precisely. I wish more people would have been exposed to this music though. I got pretty lucky to have grandparents who enjoyed this stuff. Which in term, allowed me to be exposed to this artist. I thank them dearly for that.
