Vintage Black Glamour hit 25,000 “likes” today! I think I will celebrate that along with the birthday of Louis Armstrong, seen here in Paris in 1960 with Duke Ellington in a photo by Herman Leonard. Mr. Armstrong was actually born on August 4, 1901 - but he believed he was born on July 4th for his entire life (he died in 1971). In the mid-1980s, baptismal records were discovered that revealed his real birthdate.
