During the last years of his life, Duke Ellington concentrated on writing and performing sacred music. In 1967, he came to Sacramento to perform the Come Sunday suite. And last weekend, in tribute and honor, the Sacramento Master Singers and friends performed it again.
Ain't but the one,
Just one,
Ain't but the one,
Just one,
Ain't but the one good lord above
Ain't but the one great God of love.
My friends, Julia Dollison
