  • It's sad how Duke got all of the credit for Billy's work. Duke didn't mind taking the given credit either.

  • @stargate121 Ditto...

  • That version of Take the A-Train at the funeral was pretty weak.

  • strayhorn forever

  • Amazing video. Billy was a rare talent.

  • Wow, what is this from?

  • thank goodness we have footage of this

  • Wonderful and sad footage. Thanks for the post.

  • To see a dilapidated Duke says enough about his strong personality and the unmatched artistic relationship between him and Billy.

  • Wasn't that Billy Taylor at the piano?
