Louis Armstrong Important Facts

• June 26, 1950, he recorded the first American version of the French songs “La Vie en rose” and “C’est si Bon”. “La Vie en rose” was written by Louiguy (music) and Édith Piaf (lyrics) in 1946 and “C’est si Bon” was written by Henri Betti (music) and André Hornez (lyrics) in 1947. The English lyrics of “La Vie en rose” were written by Mack David and the English lyrics of “C’est si Bon” were written by Jerry Seelen. The recording took place in New York with Sy Oliver and his Orchestra.
• Inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2007 and the Long Island Hall of Fame in 2008.
• He was laid to rest at the Flushing Cemetery, Section 9 in Flushing, Queens, New York City not too far from his home in Corona, Queens. His tombstone is red granite, emblazoned simply “Satchmo” Louis Armstrong with a beautiful white trumpet figure laden on top. Buried with him is his last of four wives, Lucille Armstrong who died in 1983.
• His home, when he died, was in the Corona section of Queens County, New York City. Today it remains a museum where fans can check out his residence and its belongings as a citizen of New York City.
• Doc Louis, the trainer character in the boxing video game Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! (1987), is based on his likeness.
• He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 7018 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on February 8, 1960.
• Was only 16 when he married Daisy Parker.
• The slang terms “cat” meaning a man about town and “chops” meaning a musician’s playing ability was first coined by him.
• Embittered by the treatment of blacks in his hometown of New Orleans, he chose to be buried in New York City.
• Refused to go on a State Department-sponsored concert tour of the Soviet Union in 1959 because he felt the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower wasn’t doing enough to promote civil rights legislation.
• Although the term didn’t exist during his lifetime, there is much evidence to indicate that he may have been bulimic. He believed that it didn’t matter what you ate, as long as you purged yourself regularly afterwards. He would do that with the help of an herbal laxative called Swiss Kriss, and even-handed out mimeographed sheets on his diet regimen to friends. In all probability, this contributed to the health problems he suffered in the last years of his life.
• Interestingly enough, Armstrong had never heard of either the song or show “Hello, Dolly!” when he recorded it. To him, it was just the lead song on an album of show tunes, and he was more surprised than anyone when both the single and the album (Kapp 1964) went to #1 on the Billboard charts. What makes this accomplishment all the more remarkable is that it happened at the height of the so-called “British Invasion”, when The Beatles and other British rock groups seemed to be dominating every aspect of the pop music charts. Armstrong later repeated his hit in the show’s film version (Hello, Dolly! (1969)), singing it to Barbra Streisand.
• Although his career as a recording artist dates back to the 1920s when he made now-classic recordings with Joe ‘King’ Oliver, Bessie Smith, and the legendary Jimmie Rodgers, as well as his own Hot Five and Hot Seven groups, his biggest hits as a recording artist came comparatively late in his life: “Mack the Knife” (1956), “Hello, Dolly!” (a #1 hit in 1964), “What a Wonderful World” (1968) and “We Have All the Time in the World” (over 20 years after his death).
• For most of his life, Louis Armstrong always gave July 4, 1900, as his birthdate, possibly because it was easy to remember. In all likelihood, he probably believed it himself. It wasn’t until many years after his death that a birth record was found confirming the correct date as August 4, 1901.
• He was nicknamed “Pops” because that is the name he addressed everyone by. Later on in his career, he picked up the sobriquet “America’s Jazz Ambassador” because of his frequent jazz concerts around the world.
• Inducted into the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame in 1978 (charter member).
• Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 (under the category Early Influence).
• Pictured on a 32¢ US commemorative postage stamp in the Legends of American Music series, issued 1 September 1995.
• Satchmo became Armstrong’s nickname after his 1932 Grand Tour of Europe. A London music magazine editor wrote “Satchmo” in an article — probably because he couldn’t read his garbled notes. Up until that time Armstrong’s nickname was Satchelmouth.
