I've Got the World on a String is a 1960 album by Louis Armstrong, arranged by Russell Garcia.

[3][4] In 1999 I've Got the World on a String was reissued with Louis Under the Stars with bonus material and outtakes.

[2] Billboard magazine reviewed the album in their March 14, 1960 issue and wrote that "Satchmo plays it soft and romantic on this listenable collection of standards...Prime jockey wax".

[6] Richard S. Ginell reviewed the reissue of the album for Allmusic and wrote that these "once-overlooked albums...are finally being appreciated as prime samplings from the autumn of Armstrong's recording career" and that "Even in the pressure cooker of a marathon session, even when confronted with standards not often associated with him, Armstrong finds the essence of each tune, bending and projecting them with his patented joie de vivre and gravel-voiced warmth every time".

In particular, "When Your Lover Is Gone" is sublime, with its signature riff of blasé, sighing horns and responding, rising string tremolos, and Garcia frames "Body and Soul" with a lovely string chart whose penultimate stroke is a perfectly placed blue note".
