A fascinating, in depth autobiography on one of the greatest humans to ever live. I read this to learn more about why Duke Ellington is so revered, and I learned so much! It was fun to read and I came out with great admiration. No matter what your goal is in life, you can learn from him. He is one of the most decorated people to ever live and the wisdom he shares after receiving this praise is everything to me. Check this out. Thank you Mom. Rest in Peace Mr. Ellington. Your legacy will live on forever.
