What A Wonderful World

"What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong is a timeless ballad written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss, first recorded in 1967. Despite topping the UK pop chart in April 1968, it was initially overlooked in the US due to a lack of label promotion. For electric guitar players, it offers a rewarding study in melodic, chord-melody arrangements and jazz voicings, making it an elegant piece to interpret with a clean, warm tone.

  • The song was first recorded by Louis Armstrong on August 16, 1967, making it a late-career classic for the jazz legend.
  • It reached number one on the UK pop chart in April 1968, despite receiving virtually no promotion in the United States.
  • Written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss, the song suits fingerstyle or chord-melody electric guitar approaches beautifully.
