The Pulitzer Prize Advisory Board rejected the recommendation of their jury to award the 1965 Pulitzer Prize for Music to Duke Ellington. They chose, instead, to withhold the prize that year. On hearing about the Board's decision, the 66-year-old Ellington allegedly commented, "Fate is being kind to me. Fate doesn't want me to be famous too young."
Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington received a posthumous Special Citation from the Pulitzer Prize Advisory Board in 1999. The citation read: "Bestowed posthumously, commemorating the centennial year of his birth, in recognition of his musical genius, which evoked aesthetically the principles of democracy through the medium of jazz and thus made an indelible contribution to art and culture."
