Louis Armstrong was born in New Orleans, LA on August 4th, 1901 and died in New York, NY on July 6th, 1971. Along the way, he created a rich legacy in Jazz that lives to this day. ?Satchmo?, as he was known, was both a trumpet virtuoso and a gifted bass vocalist. Armstrong songs like "A Kiss To Build A Dream On" (as heard in Sleepless in Seattle) and his many other classics have ensured him a key place in Jazz history.
