Louis Armstrong, the great Jazz trumpeter was called "Satchelmouth" early on in his career; on a trip to England, the announcer bungled it and announced him as Satchmo

it's not a what it's a WHO young sir. Satchmo was the Music nickname of one of the great jazz players; Louis Armstrong.
So you can visualize who it is, you can see him sing and dance a little in the musical movie "Hello Dolly" with Barbra Streisand.

The nickname originated when Louis Armstrong was a boy. He was in a "reform school" for shooting a gun (not sure if it was a real gun or not) at a New Orleans celebration. His smile was so big that on of the other boys said his mouth was as big as a satchel. The rest is history...
