 Title - ‘The Best of …: Platinum & Gold Collection’ (RCA)
Artist - Louis Armstrong
There are innumerable Louis Armstrong compilations out there, but this one is well worth owning particularly if your tastes run more to popular music than to pure jazz. This is Louis at his melodic best, putting his own stamp on familiar numbers, with both his horn and his voice radiating warmth and humanity. It's impossible to feel blue listening to this CD. There isn't a weak song here, and many are timeless classics and some even hard-to-find classics! Such songs on display here are tunes like ”Ain’t Misbehavin’,” “I’ve Got the World on a String,” “Pennies From Heaven,” “Snafu” and ”Save It, Pretty Mama.”
