Pops was such a good person. But I didn't know about the ice cream story. But it really doesn't surprise me. He had such a good soul.
Bing Crosby loved him not just as a performer, but as a human being. Bing was also a good man at heart (his losses in horse betting not withstanding), and always said how much he admired Armstrong.
I remember the first time I saw this. Kind of blew me away;
Crosby rocks this with Armstrong. "Jazz is king, jazz is the thing that folks love best!"
That was amazing...
