Take a look at this talented and dance-worthy performance. Louis Armstong’s captivating live ‘When the Saints Go Marching In’ performance.
Louis begins with a big smile on his face. He is dressed top notch with his incredible band behind him. Louis starts off by playing an amazing intro with his trumpet. It will cause you to dance along. Then, he steps up to the microphone and that familiar voice sings out. A beautiful background singer joins in. He has such a flare to the classic hymn. Joy is exhibited in Louis’ face, his smile radiates happiness.
Louis then highlights a soloist on the clarinet. He does a fantastic job. It is jazzy and entertaining. Then, the trombonist takes a solo, he has style and swag. Louis tells the audience that they have done a great job swing dancing. He then has the pianist take a bow, the bassist gets recognized, Louis takes time to honor each one of his bandmates. He seamlessly jumps back into the chorus of the song to end their show. The style will cause you never to think of the song in the same way again. The jazzy tune is catchy and encouraging.
Watching Louis take the stage as an opportunity to sing about the hope found in Jesus brings smiles to our faces. Louis is a top-level performer with such a big smile and a fun personality. He is entertaining and personable as he leads from the mic, but he is also humble and honoring to his bandmates and co-performers. We can learn from his attitude of teamwork that the body of Christ (the saints) is a family, and we work together to bring glory to God. Jesus is the one who unifies us together, and we will glorify Him in eternity.
