OH SNAP THIS IS MY "DUKIE"!!

Okay so most people dont' know (and I just found out 2 days ago) that at the end of his life Duke Ellington returned to the devout Christian faith of his youth and felt God calling him to spend the rest of his life to use his talent to be His messenger to the wayward. And so the Duke did He wrote 3 sacred concert albums and those were the last works until he died. He described it as his most meaningful work in his life. Anyways I've been blasting the "second sacred concert" cd that he recorded with swedish singer Alice Babs. Here is some RAAAARE footage of the concerts. check it out.






Here is the song "Almighty God"


and here is the song Heaven (my favorite from the album)

peace and a half,
A
