Mae West: Louis Armstrong

At Owney Madden's Cotton Club, MAE WEST met a talented musician: Louis Armstrong.
• • Armstrong comes to mind in the month of July because that's when he suffered a fatal heart attack in New York, NY and died, nearly 70 years old, on 6 July 1971.
• • The New Orleans native impressed Mae and she asked him to participate in "Every Day's a Holiday."
• • The movie's musical numbers include "Jubilee" (written by Stanley Adams and Hoagy Carmichael and sung by Louis Armstrong). Seen very briefly as a street cleaner, Louis Armstrong introduces the song "Jubilee" while parading down the street along with other street sweepers during an election rally.
• • Even Mae West weighs in during this catchy tune by playing the drums, a talent taught to her by her Brooklyn boyfriend Joe Schenck.
