artist who stood out to me that I really enjoyed seeing and listening to was Louie Armstrong. I've already heard the song what a wonderful world but never saw or heard Louie perform himself.

He was wrinkly and weak as could be, which caused the doctors to believe he had only months or maybe even weeks until he would die. We all believed it so we kept no hopes up and tried not to become attached to him, however, his brother failed to do so.
