No, not the Louis Armstrong song. “At Home Abroad,” which featured this and several other Howard Dietz-Arthur Schwartz songs, starred Bea Lillie, ran for 198 performances, and was the first Broadway musical to be directed by Vincente Minnelli. Himber also made a Victor recording of “What A Wonderful World” for commercial release (listen here: • 1935 Richard Himber - What A Wonderfu... ).
This is one of eight posted tracks recorded In 1935 by the Richard Himber orchestra for a music service and which were never issued on 78 for consumer purchase. As pseudonyms were commonly used on such media by artists who were currently under contract to a commercial record label, Richard Himber and vocalist Stuart Allen were identified on the disc label as “Larry Bradford” and “Stan Abbott.”
