How Louis Armstrong Became The First Black Pop Star
Ricky Riccardi
Yeah, this track literally just turned 100 years old. It was recorded in January 1925. And this was Armstrong, the sideman. He goes to New York to join Fletcher Henderson in October 1924. And OK Records and other labels, Columbia, they start using him as just a studio musician. His name is never on the labels, but people respond to the sound of his trumpet.
