For those with a prurient interest, the definitive book on Duke's
personal life is "Sweet Man" by Don George.
Aside from all the juicy stories, George makes himself out to be a
star in Ellington's constellation, when he is more of an asteroid,
claiming lyric credits for I'm Beginning To See The Light and writer
credits for, yes, The Yellow Rose of Texas! Not a book for children.
