What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong has to be one of the most beautiful songs of all time and instantly brings a smile to my face. The perfection is in its simplicity along with the pure optimism of the lyrics. 1968 was a time of political unrest and a cultural revolution; this song reminds us to bring everything back to basics by celebrating the simplest things in life.

This live version captures all of the essence from Armstrong's original recording with some extra flair provided by the piano and horn section (in place of the string orchestration). It is a monumental way to cap off Armstrong's extensive musical career and a wonderful tribute to his overall contribution to music.
