How Louis Armstrong Became The First Black Pop Star
Terry Gross
I want to play him backing up a singer because this is a famous early example of his playing. Bessie Smith in 1925 recorded St. Louis Blues. And this is before Armstrong had his own band. And he's playing trumpet behind her. And it's quite beautiful and very sympathetic to what he's singing. Do you want to say anything else to introduce this track?
