Duke Ellington had one son, Mercer Ellington, who was also a musician and bandleader, and two adopted daughters, Edna and Ruth Ellington. Mercer played a significant role in continuing his father's legacy through music, performing and directing the Duke Ellington Orchestra after Duke's death in 1974. Edna and Ruth were less involved in the music scene but remained connected to their father's legacy.
