Duke Ellington was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom on April 29, 1969 at the White House. The occasion happened to coincide with Duke’s birthday, so at the conclusion of his formal remarks, Nixon asked those in attendance to join him in wishing Duke a Happy Birthday by singing along with the tune while President Nixon performed the piece on piano.
