Your 75 years with three score years as a composer and a
musician were bountiful
"Your music brought joy where there was sorrow, love
when lovers piqued. Your creative genius has been a vivid
picturization of the black experience in America for three
score of our five and one half score years of freedom.
, "While your passing from the mortal scene leaves a
contemporary void, your creative genius leaves an aimmortal
legacy. Ai long as humanity 'Takes the A Train" whenever
"Boy Meets Girl," when life's mood turns "Indigo," and
whenever men contemplate "In the Beginning Was God," the
librettos of life will sing songs of joy that once upon a time
there lived a man called Duke Ellington.
: Truly, you have glorified the age in which we live; life has
fuller meaning because of your creations of joy, rhythm, and
your love, farewell."
