Louis Armstrong’s tender performance before the troops is sleeved between film clips of one of my favorite movies, Good Morning Vietnam. That’s a powerful combination, the Great Sachmo and Robin Williams. Life truly is what me make of it, even in the midst of unmitigated hell.
Louis Armstrong
This next song combines two of the most beloved songs of all time – What a Wonderful World and Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole 'IZ' 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow/Wonderful World'
Both of these performers have disappeared from our view now. But they left us more than song. They left us with the feeling that these words are not sappy impossibilities nor unrealistic goals. They somehow penetrated our defenses and struck the core of our beliefs.
