Fathers and Sons

In the first episode of LA Calling, two stories about fathers, sons, and the complicated things passed between them.

Bob Thiele Jr. tells the story behind Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World”—a song written and produced by his father that would haunt, frustrate, and eventually reshape Bob’s life.

🎭 Act Two: Father of the Bride

A father talks about gaining a son, but in the process, losing a daughter.
