Brings to life the charismatic figure who forever changed the face of music and reveals a man of passion, courage, humor, and genius.

One of the best biographies I've ever read, and definitely the best of the three Armstrong bios I've read so far. Outstanding research and presentation of the musician's incredible life; the book is rich with Armstrong's own words as well as Bergreen's beautifully-written text.  

A gem of a biography.  Highly, highly recommend!
