Duke Ellington and Racism?
How did Duke Ellington face racism throughout his career?
I know he wouldn’t play unless he went through the front door of clubs, but any other things I might need to know?

I’m looking for any songs by Duke Ellington that are piano driven.
thanks.
It don’t mean a thing, the song by Duke Ellington, I remember hearing it sung by a strong female vocal, maybe in a Disney movie. I can’t find it now. Does anyone else know it? Please send me a video if you can find the one with the femal vocal
In Duke Ellington’s song, "The Daybreak Express," the sounds of the song mimic:
a car that won’t start
a bus stopping in Harlem
a train pulling from the station
a plane on the runway
I’m doing a report on him and I need to show a song of his to my class. What’s a popular Duke Ellington song, or what was considered his best work?
duke ellington is coo
I have to write a five page paper on Duke Ellington. I don’t really know what to write about though. My intro has a lot of biographical stuff, so that’s out. And I was thinking I would discuss some of his songs, but idk how to exactly. I mean what can I say about them? Are there any other topics I could write about besides his songs and his biography?
Did Duke Ellington sing at all? If he did, can you post a few songs he sung.
I wanna get some Duke Ellington albums, but I don’t know what to get, so please recommend some of your favorite Duke recordings.
