Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong (Thorndike Press Large Print Biography Series) - Tapa dura

A great artist who was also a good man. A genius born in poverty who became known in every corner of the world. An entertainer who knocked the Beatles off the top of the charts four decades after he cut his first record. An accomplished author and collagist who was witty, introspective, and unexpectedly complex. Terry Teachout has drawn on a cache of important new sources unavailable to previous biographers to craft a sweeping new narrative biography of Louis Armstrong, the twentieth century's most influential jazz musician.
