"What a Wonderful World" is a song that was first recorded by Louis Armstrong and released in 1967 as a single. The song was written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss. It is a slow pop ballad that captures Armstrong in a rare reflective mood, singing a song of hope that resonates with people everywhere. The song has a timeless message of love, peace, and harmony. It talks about the beauty of nature, the colors of the rainbow, and the simple things in life that people often take for granted. The song was intended as an antidote for the increasingly racially and politically charged climate of everyday life in the United States. Armstrongs recording of the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
