TAMMY GRIMES "Sophisticated Lady" in a DUKE ELLINGTON tribute

A playlist of other ELLINGTON videos on this channel is HERE: http://TheMotionDevotion.com/docs/ELL... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Could there possibly be a more WORLD-WEARY rendition of "Sophisticated Lady" than what we're watching here? Tammy Grimes performs this classic as if it were a theater piece rather than just a song. Actually, several of the Ellington and/or Strayhorn compositions lend themselves to that type of treatment; the melody, harmony and lyrics combine to formulate a dramatic vignette. (For example, "Lush Life", "Something To Live For", "Prelude To A Kiss"... there are many.) The face that appears and then fades at the beginning of the clip is that of Mercer Ellington, Duke's son who took over as bandleader upon his father's passing. This video clip is from a tribute to Ellington that was broadcast on television in 1984. It's another discovery from the dusty crates at YouTube channel TheMotionDevotion, in this case a Betamax videocassette. Two other clips from this Ellington tribute can be seen on TheMotionDevotion - Patti LaBelle alone:     • PATTI LaBELLE - ethereal solo in a DUKE EL...   and with André De Shields:    • ANDRÉ DE SHIELDS & PATTI LaBELLE -- duet i...   ALL of the other music clips on this channel can be easily accessed via the listing that you will find HERE: http://www.TheMotionDevotion.com/docs... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ DISCLAIMER: TheMotionDevotion makes no claims regarding ownership of this video clip.
