Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah - Louis Armstrong

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah - Louis Armstrong
2:22
Disney Songs the Satchmo Way, 1968
Written by Ray Gilbert & Allie Wrubel

This album marks the last recordings of Armstrong on trumpet.  Apparently, Walt Disney himself requested that Satchmo record this album, and he did, even though he was in ill health.  (Sad to think how just four short years before he was at the top of the charts with the perfect album Hello, Dolly!.)  You wouldn't know he was ailing, however, from listening to this song or its album.  His joyful vocals and bright trumpet make this already Oscar-winning song lively and fun.
