Many artist have sung that song, but lets face it, it is only remembered as the song of Louis Armstrong, the main singer, No- one could better his version. Though in saying that the others were good, but it was Louis' song.

When we figure out a way to blow ourselves to smithereens, there'll be a few thumb drives that make it past our asteroid belt that have that song on it.

I read once that Armstrong did not want to record this song. Bet he is glad he did, as it is so beloved.
