Louis Armstrong tribute program with Peggy Lee

Today is the 50th anniversary of Louis Armstrong's funeral on July 9, 1971. To commemorate, the Louis Armstrong House Museum (a wonderful place to visit in the Corona neighborhood of Queens, New York) presented the superb 51-minute tribute program that CBS aired on the evening of July 9. Early on, Peggy is seen singing "The Lord's Prayer" at the funeral, and later in the program, from a television studio, she is joined by several prominent jazz musicians who knew, loved and worked with Louis to sing "I Can't Give You Anything but Love." The entire program is so thoughtfully and movingly produced.
