Trumpet player Louis Armstrong achieved great success with his jazz songs. At one point it became important for his popularity that he started singing and voilà, there you had the characteristic crackling voice of What a Wonderful World in 1968, the title song of the album of the same name.

The song became an evergreen and covered by many. There even seem to be Dutch versions.
