1.0 out of 5 stars All That Is Wrong With America, December 14, 2005

Rob Keil (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What a Wonderful World / Desafinado (Audio CD)

I was at Subway having a sandwich for lunch today and heard something scary on the radio. Yes, Kenny G has licensed the classic 1969 Louis Armstrong recording of "What a Wonderful World" and added his syrupy meaningless soprano meanderings to it, thereby creating a "new" track that we will forever be hearing, wherein we get to hear him drizzle the immortal Satchmo with his unique strain of aural garbage.

I believe this event represents the end of western civilization as we know it. I will now grab my orange robe and move to a Tibetan mountaintop where I will contemplate all that is wrong with America.

1.0 out of 5 stars What A Sad, Pathetic World This Is, August 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: What a Wonderful World / Desafinado (Audio CD)

Kenny G has ruined one of the greatest songs of all time. If he were alive today, Louis Armstrong would never have allowed this travesty to happen. Why couldn't Kenny ruin Streisand songs instead? I'm so sorry, Louis.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not At All Wonderful, August 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: What a Wonderful World / Desafinado (Audio CD)

This has got to be one of the worst ideas of the 90's. What Kenny G and Arista have done to this song is a total mockery to the memory of one of the greatest musicians of all time. Thumbs down to all involved.
