Just to be clear, Louis Armstrong isn't mainly a sing, he plays the trumpet. He was an amazing trumpeter, and one of the seminal figures of jazz, especially soloing.

If you really want to hear something, listen to his Hot Fives & Sevens. It's phenomenal.

My first marriage lasted 19 years. I was single for 18.5 years. I finally married again in January 2020 to a first class lady I have known since junior high school. We hired a couple of guys we knew to do the music. For the lead out song for my new wife and me to dance, they played What a Wonderful World. It was awesome and made a fantastic memory that I will not forget. Amazing song!!!

It was both of my parents favorite song (59y mrd), and we played it at both of their funerals. Years later its personal significance still brings a tear to my eye.

Note that the melody is similar to “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”
