Louis Armstrong recorded “What a Wonderful World” in Las Vegas after one of his midnight shows at the Tropicana, according to Wikipedia.

Apparently, his new record label did not like the Bob Thiele and George David Weiss composition and failed to promote it in the United States, but it did hit No. 1 in the United Kingdom.

The song received renewed acclaim when it was featured in the 1987 Robin Williams film “Good Morning, Vietnam.”

Anyway, it’s a go-to song I use when it seems like the stresses could overwhelm. We know there’s good happening in Las Vegas, nationally and globally. Sometimes we need a reminder.
