Miles Dewey Davis III (May 26, 1926 – September 28, 1991) was an American jazz musician, trumpeter, bandleader, and composer. Widely considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, Miles Davis was, with his musical groups, at the forefront of several major developments in jazz music, including bebop, cool jazz, hard bop, modal jazz, and jazz fusion.
Miles Dewey Davis was born on May 26, 1926, to an affluent African American family in Alton, Illinois. His father, Dr. Miles Henry Davis, was a dentist. In 1927 the family moved to East St. Louis, Illinois. They also owned a substantial ranch in northern Arkansas, where Davis learned to ride horses as a boy.
Davis' mother, Cleota Mae (Henry) Davis, wanted her son to learn the piano; she was a capable blues pianist but kept this fact hidden from her son. His musical studies began at 13, when his father gave him a trumpet and arranged lessons with local musician Elwood Buchanan. Davis later suggested that his father's instrument choice was made largely to irk his wife, who disliked the trumpet's sound. Against the fashion of the time, Buchanan stressed the importance of playing without vibrato; he was reported to have slapped Davis' knuckles every time he started using heavy vibrato. Davis would carry his clear signature tone throughout his career. He once remarked on its importance to him, saying, "I prefer a round sound with no attitude in it, like a round voice with not too much tremolo and not too much bass. Just right in the middle. If I can’t get that sound I can’t play anything."Clark Terry was another important early influence.[citation needed]

Genres: Drama,Met an ugly man in Reno
Ladies hangin' on his arm
In a lipstick-red Porsche
Downtown, sellin' his charm
Dealin' out a new prescription
A faster way to make things pay
"Step into the bargain basement, Boy,
Let me show you my tray."
He says, "Heaven is a long way later,
These'll keep you flyin' high."
But I'll keep walkin', thank you
(Walkin')
I keep walkin', thank you
Ha, ha, skinny man in horn-rim glasses
Chokin' on a power tie
He's rolled up in a Wall Street Journal, mm
"You disinform, you don't lie."
A gamble on a speculation,
Redefine a cardinal sin
"You're runnin' on a fast-track theory, baby,
You gotta cheat to win"
He says, "Heaven is a long way later
You gotta run to beat the bottom line."
Well, I keep walkin', thank you
(Walkin', walkin')
I keep walkin'
(Walkin', thank you)
Thank you
Whoa!
Cannibal who thinks he's Moses
Underneath a fine toupee
A handle on a revelation
"Righteousness the easy way"
A vision and a confirmation
Emotional in every plea
"Take a precious few to Glory-Land
'Cause everyone is wrong but me."
He says, "Heaven is a long way later
Get a ticket on the Glory Train."
Well I keep walkin', thank you
(Walkin')
I keep walkin', thank you
I keep walkin', thank you
(Walkin'!)
Heaven is a long way later
Don't you wanna walk with me?
Say! Heaven is a long way later
Walk with me
Heaven is a long way later, Baby
Walk with me
Huh, Heaven is a long way later
Walk with me
Heaven is a long way later
Sing it, Girls
(Heaven is a long way later)
