Absolutely.  Louis Armstrong, I still am quite fond of a fair amount of 
his work, especially "What a Wonderful World".

I like his early work but I have issues with "What a Wonderful World" as 
it reached No. 1 here in the UK when I was 18. He seemed like an old man 
warbling through the sort of ballad that my father would like.

The thing about that song for me is that it was used in Hitchhiker's, and 
by pure coincidence my sister-in-law had it played at her wedding, which 
was on the (IIRC) first anniversary of Adams' death.
