David Weiss has said that he wrote this specifically for Louis Armstrong. Weiss also write Lullaby if Birdland, for which he was inducted into the songwriters hall of fame. He also wrote the score for Gidget Goes to Rome!

Thanks for the backstory. Nobody will ever sing this like Louis, but I like fresh takes on classics!

Such a classic! I absolutely love Jon Batiste, so this was a great April Fool's gift and a nice start to the week.
