Dear Gary,

According to Willems, Louis played trumpet on his last recording 
(1971-03-01) that was in the "Tonight Show" hosted by Johnny Carson.
The recording hasn't been issued, but presumably the show was sent by NBC 
TV.  WAWW is not on this recording.
Willems also gives details of a film soundtrack (late October, 1970 in 
London), also not issued,  where Louis sings WAWW, and also plays trumpet on 
other tracks on this soundtrack, but it's not clear (to me, at any rate) 
whether this soundtrack is recorded on this date, or is just a collection of 
older film extracts.

Kind Regards

Bob Smith
