That Old FeelingLouis Armstrong

Songwriter: Sammy Fain Lew Brown

Oh, I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
Why, the moment that you passed by I got a thrill
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still

And once again, I seem to get that old yearning
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
For that old feeling is still in my heart

Yes, I saw you last night, Fats, yeah
And got that old feeling, oh, you did, heh heh
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling, ah, heh

From the moment that you passed by
I didn't pass, I stopped, I got a thrill
You did, hey, hey and when you caught my eye
My little heart stood still

And once again, I seem to get that old yearning
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
For that old feeling is still in my heart

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.
