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.

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

Duke Ellington, was Stevland's childhood hero and he performed "Sir Duke" in honor of Duke at a tribute. The performance is on youtube. cool 2 geniuses.

Stevie Wonder = EARTH
Prince = WIND
Chaka Khan = FIRE
Sade = WATER

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.
