Matt Roush says...
The legacy of jazz pioneer and music icon Louis Armstrong is celebrated in director Sacha Jenkins’ revealing documentary, featuring archival home recordings and taped conversations shedding new light on a superstar who emerged from a segregated South to become a global force of cultural change. His fame spread to TV and films, including Hello, Dolly! (whose title song, recorded earlier, became one of his biggest hits, knocking The Beatles off the top of the charts).
