Louis Armstrong Serenades His Wife In Egypt
The hot desert and ancient ruins aren’t really what comes to mind when one thinks of romantic things. But, of course, the jazz music icon Louis Armstrong managed to turn this setting into a date worth remembering when he serenaded his wife Lucille Wilson with the trumpet.
Taken in 1961 during a trip to Egypt, this image is typically shown in black and white. This colorized version lets us see more details, from the way Armstrong’s golden instruments stood out against the pale color of the sky that day to the patterns on Wilson’s clothes.
