Original singles
editThe following singles were released during Armstrong's lifetime.
1923 King Oliver sessions
editArmstrong was only an intrumentalist in these recordings with King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band.[1] The singles are listed roughly chronologically by recording date (since release dates are not known) then by label and catalog number of first commercial release (all 78 rpm records). While the artist credits are given exactly as they appear on the original printed disc labels,[2] the songwriter credits are often more specific than those shown on the original discs.

Also recorded during the Gennett session of October 5, 1923:
- "Zulus Ball" (Oliver; J. R. Robinson) / "Workingman Blues" (Oliver; Lil Hardin) were pressed as Gennett 5275[G5k][GI] but not released;[1][3] later the pairing was "reissued" as "Zulu's Ball" / "Working Man Blues" on Biltmore 1028 (c. 1950),[Bltm][GI] and in the UK on Tempo R-29 (early 1950s).[4]
- "That Sweet Something, Dear" (Spikes Bros.)[5] / "If You Want My Heart (You've Got To 'Low It, Babe)" (unknown) were paired to become Gennett 5276, but no evidence exists even of a test pressing being made; the recordings, with master numbers 11634-C and 11639-B, respectively, have never been found.[1][3][6]
- "When You Leave Me Alone to Pine" (Armstrong) and "Someday Sweetheart" (J. & B. Spikes?) were rejected and never assigned release numbers; the recordings, with master numbers 11632-ABC and 11637-ABC, respectively, have never been found.[1][6] The melody line of the first song was discovered by George Avakian (in written form) in the Library of Congress and developed into a full arrangement by trumpeter Randy Sandke,[7] who then recorded the song for his 2000 album The Re-Discovered Louis & Bix.[8] The second song is probably "Someday Sweetheart" by John and Reb Spikes; Armstrong performed this song in the 1966 film A Man Called Adam.[9][10]
