Jeffries' most famous song, \"Flamingo,\" recorded in 1940 with Ellington, sold over 50 million copies. Jeffries is also noted for being the first black man to star in an American western, known to his legions of fans as \"The Bronze Buckaroo.\" He also worked closely with the eccentric songwriter Eden Ahbez, author of the #1 jazz classic hit \"Nature Boy,\" and, in 1954, the pair collaborated on the album presented here, the Singing Prophet, which included the only recording of Ahbez's four-part \"Nature Boy Suite.\" Finally available in the digital domain, this rare classic has been newly remastered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 The Legend of Nature Boy (Feat.
