WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
On August 16, 1967, Louis Armstrong recorded it in the city
of New York the song "What a Wonderful." This World
original piece by George David Weiss and Bob Thiele, reflects
admiration for a kind of multicolor nature with white clouds,
bright green trees and a rainbow on a clear blue sky.
Superb and spiritual spectacle Armstrong’s voice spread around
the world as Goodwill Ambassador for the UN.
This song inspired an environmental art workshop with Afro-Americans
children in the Nature Center at Crandon Park.
How wonderful this experience was discovering that a good number
of them also knew the song, and performed simultaneously with their
voices and language for deaf people.
That's good to know that "Satchmo" is still present in the wonderful
children's world.
