Louis Armstrong - Hello Dolly (1964)

A 63 year old Satchmo knocked The Beatles of their top spot in the charts with a tune from Broadway. How crazy is that? Although Hello Dolly was the chart topper & nearly half the tracks are from Broadway musicals, there are some other great gems hidden in here. A Kiss To Build A Dream On is classic Louis Armstrong. Moon River from the movie Breakfast At Tiffany's & Blueberry Hill are well needed break from the rest of the record. Then there is the jazz standard Jeepers Creepers. Even if you're not much of a fan of Broadway musicals there is something for everyone on this one.
