Louis Armstrong First Ever Christmas Album To Be Released

For the first time ever a Louis Armstrong Christmas album will be released.

‘Louis Wishes You A Cool Yule’ will arrive October 28 for Christmas 2022.

The album features nearly the entirety of Armstrong’s holiday output: six Decca singles from the ’50s, including “Cool Yule,” “Christmas Night in Harlem,” and “‘Zat You Santa Claus?.” The 11-track album also features duets with Velma Middleton (“Baby, It’s Cold Outside”) and Ella Fitzgerald (“I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm”).

Louis Armstrong was born in 1901 and died from a heart attack in 1971 one month before his 70th birthday. His movies included ‘High Society’ with Frank Sinatra and ‘Hello Dolly’ with Barbra Streisand.
