The LOU RAWLS Show with Duke Ellington

This historic performance also includes the larger-than-life Duke Ellington on two selections and the impeccable voice of Freda Payne (singer of the hit song Band of Gold) on two others. When Rawls and Freda Payne lead a chorus on Oh, Happy Day, you feel just how joyous it is. Witnessing the legendary Duke Ellington playing his standards Satin Doll and Sophisticated Lady, with Rawls' precious vocal interpretation adding a new dimension, only helps us to see why the Ellington genius is so timeless.
