Album: What A Wonderful World (1968). Charted: 1 32. Get the Sheet Music License This Song. Eduardo from Tucson, AzLouis Armstrong grew up in poverty in a rough neighborhood in New Orleans. His father left his family when he was an infant and his mother abandoned him soon afterward. He also lived in a time when being black meant you were a second class citizen. Yet, all this makes the song more meaningful. Rodris from Gdl, MexicoWhen I hear this song I imagine that the singer is being in a higher dimension and he is watching our world. Everything is important and all the details wich normally we see, tells something profound and trascendental.
