When talking about the History of Jazz , Ken Burns is relating how almost unanimously all the people were
in agreement that Louis Armstrong was
a "Gift from God " .... "An angel sent from above", and
other awe inspiring remarks coming
from everyone who knew him famous
or the non-famous.
Hardly any other American figure received
this almost mystical unanimous approval...
and his far reaching influence on changing of the musical scene
and on our collective American consciousness ,
(except for Abraham Lincoln ),
the famous documentary maker Burns notes in "Jazz" ....
Funny, amazing little Valentine that he was ,
when Ella Fitzgerald was asked if Louis
was an "angel" ,
she could only reply:
" had the biggest wings , I ever saw ..."
