Myself playing Duke Ellington's song 'Black Butterfly' on the piano. 

I've had a go at singing this too (though it's not been posted); I must confess that while I think the melody is lovely, the lyrics are (to put it gently), a romanticized, and 'of their time'. One must be a little forgiving sometimes.
