Armstrong in The Linnets Wings

Facebook | Martin Heavisides Elvis Presley didn’t break down racial barriers in the music industry, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington did. . . Fats Waller was a one of the world’s biggest radio stars when Presley was in short pants, and if he’d been alive still in 1957 maybe he’d have had a big hit with Hound Dog and we’d know at last how that song should be done. http://www.thelinnetswings.net/?stn=96409&pageno=16
