(PR) The most influential musician in American music, Louis Armstrong didnΉt stop after heΉd revolutionized jazz. He went on to forever change the way the popular song was sung. On November 7th, Time Life will release a box set tribute to the icon, The Wonderful World of Louis Armstrong, the latest in their Legends of American Music Series. The three disc collection features 2 CDs and a DVD and includes songs recorded between 1931 and 1967, as well as rare television and live performances that capture Armstrong at his very best. The Wonderful World of Louis Armstrong is the first box set of his work to include a DVD. Because Armstrong was an extremely charismatic and riveting performer, Time-Life felt that a comprehensive overview of ArmstrongΉs career would not be complete without a visual component. The DVD includes rare performance footage, separated into four decades. Excerpts from a concert in Copenhagen in 1933, as well as television appearances and film clips from later years offer a glimpse into the irrepressible appeal that made Armstrong such a beloved figure. Duets with Bing Crosby and Jackie Gleason highlight the DVD, reminding viewers of his broad appeal at a time where segregation was still the norm.
