DUKE ELLINGTON ( 1899-1974)

Today, the Duke was born 111 year ago.

Duke Ellington's popularity was growing 80 years ago .... Although the Depression hit every American citizen and a lot of (dance) band leaders had to re-organize their orchestras or had to fight for gigs to find a living, it seems that he was doing well.
