Which generation did Louis Armstrong belong to?

Louis Armstrong was a part of the Greatest Generation demographic cohort.

Louis Armstrong was not a boomer. The boomer generation started in 1945, whereas he was born in 1901.

That is a 44 year difference!

The "boomer" label is often applied to older people by mistake.

He had the star sign Leo.

Louis Armstrong was around 5 ft 6 inches tall. In centimeters, his height was 168 cm.

This means that he was slightly shorter than the average American male. However, he was still taller than the average woman.

He died 53 years, 2 months, and 12 days ago.

He was born on a Sunday.

He died on a Tuesday.

He died in July 1971, which was over 53 years ago. Five decades have passed since his death. That's over half a century.

To put that into perspective.

A baby that was born on the day of his death has grown up, finished school, finished college, started a career, and has their own children by now.
Since Louis Armstrong's death in 1971, roughly thirteen FIFA World Cups and fourteen US presidential elections have taken place.
Since his death, the United States has had nine new presidents.
The United Kingdom has had twelve new prime ministers.
When Louis Armstrong died, the Soviet Union still existed.
Because he died in 1971, it means that he probably never heard of famous names such as ABBA, Aerosmith, and Al Pacino.
He did not live long enough to see the film The Godfather.
