StreetcredMusic: SheSaid~HeSaid. Greta Panettieri & Satchmo

 I can't think of any others I've seen who are as comfortable on stage with Jazz, and improvisation, and making people smile than these two musicians.

This appearance by the Diva, Greta Panettieri was on Italian TV after the Paris attacks.
....and a message to make it a better world in 2016.

HeSaid:: The legendary 'Satchmo'... Video:: "What A Wonderful World"


'What a Wonderful World'
 ... is a song written by Bob Thiele (as "George Douglas") and George David Weiss. It was first recorded by Louis Armstrong and released in 1967 as a single, which topped the pop charts in the United Kingdom.

Thiele and Weiss were both prominent in the music world (Thiele as a producer and Weiss as a composer/performer). Armstrong's recording was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. Intended as an antidote for the increasingly racially and politically charged climate of everyday life in the United States, the song also has a hopeful, optimistic tone with regard to the future, with reference to babies being born into the world and having much to look forward to.

The song was initially offered to Tony Bennett, who turned it down.
