The story of Louis Armstrong 9: Louis the Ambassador
' In 1956 we went to Ghana and played in this big stadium - all the local chiefs were carried in on litters from the hills, and one of the chiefs said " Hello Satchmo ". So Louis said to me " See them, Mums, they even got my records in the Bush ".'
(LUCILLE ARMSTRONG)
Humphrey Lyttelton tells the story of how Louis's worldwide tours earned him the title of ' Ambassador without Portfolio '.
