The revolutionary singer created a great uproar in the creation of various genres of music in his time. The last song he ever wrote, in which created chart records, was entitled "What a wonderful world." This song made Louis the oldest person to ever have a number one hit on the chart (he was 67). The song depicts the wonders and glories of everyday life, his strong outlook came from a childhood of poverty, yet he perseveres with his passion in music. His sudden death in 1971 came by surprise; the world lost one of the best performers to walk its roads.
