Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve SeenLouis Armstrong

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory
Hallelujah
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
Ohh, yes Lord
Sometimes I'm almost To the ground
Oh yes, Lord
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Nobody knows but Jesus
Anybody knows the trouble I've seen Glory
Hallelujah
If you got there before I do
Oh yes Lord Tell all my friends
I'm Coming too, oh yes Lord
Nobody knows the trouble
I've seen Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory
Hallelujah
Although you see me Goin' on so
Oh yes I have my trials
Here below Ohh yes, Lord
Oh, nobody knows the trouble I've seen Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory
Hallelujah Ohh, glory, Hallelujah

Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong, known throughout his lengthy career by nicknames like “Satchmo”, “Pops” and simply “Louie”, was a trumpeter, composer, singer and occasional actor, as well as one of the most influential figures in the history of jazz.

Born and raised in New Orleans, where jazz itself is alleged to have began, Armstrong started his career in 1918, playing the cornet in brass bands and riverboats along the Mississippi River. There, he caught the attention of his future mentor, King Oliver, joining his band in Chicago, where he networked with other popular jazz musicians like Hoagy Carmichael and his first wife Lil Hardin Armstrong.

In 1924, Louie relocated to New York City playing for the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra. It was at this time he switched over from cornet to trumpet in order to blend in better with the other musicians in his section. It was also when he developed his emotional playing style, which included singing and telling tales of his life back in New Orleans.
