..." HELLO, DOLLY! " - Louis Armstrong. Louis" version if the title song if the Jerry Herman Broadway musical that Carol Channing (RIP) created the title role in was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of May 9, 1964. SATCHMO"d recording was the first non-Beatles recording to top the 100 in FOURTEEN WEEKS!
Three different 45s by the Beatles had succeeded each other at #1
duringng the three preceding months
! It was seen by many older pop music fans at the time as a comeback for their music : a x for an m:time great, Louis : It spent nine weeks on top of the Billboard Adult contemporary chart! Furthermore,oujs" album of the same tie also made #1 on the album charge - as the the Original Cast Album. Of the Broadway musical starring Carol, as well!
Ironi all, Louis' record was recorded before the show's open I v as a demo record, and was reased after the show hit. Louis didn't make a big deal of the record, I am tx, and was puzzled when it was greeted with such rapture.
