You'd be very surprised, and he has an airport named after him.

Most people under 40 that aren't from NOLA probably have no clue who Louis Armstrong is

Yes, but I'm from New Orleans. If I wasn't from here, I probably wouldn't know a jazz musician that died before I was born. Its not like jazz is something that kids born in the 80's grew up listening to often

Neither does anyone else. Boy is high if he thinks those two weirdos are more famous than a host of other people

We are talking about New Orleans here.
Not many 5’5 jesuits grads leave the city nor achieve world wide fame
Cool little fact about fats. Back in the day New Orleans radio stations were powerful enough to reach Jamaica. He became the islands favorite musician and is credited with inspiring ska and reggae
Listen to Be my guest and you can hear Reggae in it.
