Duke Ellington's last words, spoken to his friend and collaborator Billy Strayhorn, were reportedly, "Billy, you can't die. I need you." These words reflect his deep connection to Strayhorn, who had passed away shortly before Ellington himself died in 1974. Ellington's final moments were marked by his enduring passion for music and the people he cherished.
