Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington (April 29, 1899 – May 24, 1974) was an American jazz pianist, composer, and leader of his eponymous jazz orchestra from 1923 through the rest of his life.Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Ellington was based in New York City from the mid-1920s and gained a national profile through his orchestra's appearances at the Cotton Club in Harlem. A master at writing miniatures for the three-minute 78 rpm recording format, Ellington wrote or collaborated on more than one thousand compositions; his extensive body of work is the largest recorded personal jazz legacy, and many of his pieces have become standards.

My legacy
Is what I'll never see
That's my blessing passed
To eternity
To my young kings
To my soldiers
Sometimes you'll feel the
Whole weight of the world
On your shoulders
But remember my king
There's nothing you can't do
There's nothing to fear
Heart of a lion
It will light up this world
When you walk in the darkness
You'll see through it all
Your fathers mind
Like my fathers mind
The most powerful gift
That you will ever find
So speak with truth
And get what's yours
There's nothing you can't reach
The world is yours
When the years pass by
Lift your head up high
When you walk and you carry yourself
You will rise
Remember I told you you're the Strongest alive?
Natural born leader
Now show them your guide
Esta familia es más que la sangre
En tu corazón yo te mando un ángel
Y le pido
Que te bendiga siempre
Y que te cuide mi hijo
Que te bendiga siempre
Y que te cuide mi hijo
I'm proud of the man
That you helped me become
I know I'm not perfect
But I'll give you my all
I'm proud of you
For everyday day that I stand
And after that day
Forever with love
You're made from the stars
That shine in the heavens
You were made to win
And to me you were given
My father once told me
"You're better than me"
Now I say it to you
My legacy
Esta familia es más que la sangre
En tu corazón yo te mando un ángel
Y le pido
Que te bendiga siempre
Y que te cuide mi hijo
Esta familia es más que la sangre
En tu corazón yo te mando un ángel
Y le pido
Que te bendiga siempre
Y que te cuide mi hijo
