Sir Duke
If anyone deserves to be called genius, it is Sir Duke Ellington. Any appreciation for one of the greatest jazz artists ever? | |

I got into Duke Ellington a week ago.
His instrumentals are good for relaxing. | |

when I saw the thread title I was thinking of the Stevie Wonder song...
Prince 4Ever. | |

That song was dedicated to Duke. That's why I used the title. | |

"Sir Duke" was Duke Ellington's nickname anyway. | |

So did I. I immediately heard "You can feel it all OVVAAAAHHHHH!!!" in my head. "I don't think you'd do well in captivity." - random person's comment to me the other day | |

!!!!!
Duke Ellington, was Stevland's childhood hero and he performed "Sir Duke" in honor of Duke at a tribute. The performance is on youtube. 2 geniuses. Stevie Wonder = EARTH
Prince = WIND Chaka Khan = FIRE Sade = WATER the ELEMENTS of MUSIC | |

I also thought of Stevie, one of his best ever. I realized the other day that some Cee Lo song stole the melody from the verses. | |
