"What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong This song seems to have been around for ever, although it was released in 1967 by the brilliant Louis Armstrong, but I am loving it more and more as I get older. I believe that this was the only the second time Satch came across my radar, the first being in the 1965 comedy western "Cat Ballou". Sentimental and beautiful, yes. But this is indeed a wonderful world we are living in. If you don't believe me, catch the 2011 David Attenborough / BBC trail link below. And yes, depending on my circumstances when I hear it, this song is capable of stopping me in my tracks and bringing a tear. Stunning. "The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They're really saying I love you" "I hear babies crying, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know" "Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world Oh... Yeah" "What a Wonderful World"
