I read the Billboard Charts and what did I see? Louis Armstrong is Back on Billboard Charts: Louis Armstrong’s first-ever Christmas album, Louis Wishes You a Cool Yule, debuted at No. 122 on the Billboard 200, becoming Armstrong’s highest charting album since Hello Dolly spent six weeks at No. 1 in 1964. The new collection, released on Verve/UMe, includes nearly all of Satchmo’s holiday offerings, plus a previously unreleased recording of a classic holiday poem, “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” set to newly-recorded music by Sullivan Fortner. Make sure you listen to ‘Zat You Santa Claus? My favorite.
