@@funkyd5870 but it only covers a few years of his life, throughout the mid 70s to early 1980s. A biographical movie based on Quincy Troupe's book would be really interesting.
This sounds like a funny, ironic story now, but I guarantee when Miles was going through it it was hell. I’ve been in the exact same spot before. I had buddies that would let me stay with them because I was homeless, and I would be looking around at things in the house thinking “man I could sell that at the pawnshop for $40 and I wouldn’t have to be sick for half a day at least.” But I never stole from somebody who let me stay with them. I got close for sure, but the idea of one of my best friends realizing that I stole from them when they took me in in my time of need was too much. I’m off that shit now thank God
As a kid, he was so good looking, that he was picked on constantly. That’s why he developed his tough guy persona, which he kept for the rest of his life!
After all the years I never ever knew til now that Miles Davis was a wife beater I hate men that beat women when I find out a man is beating a woman I lose interest in them immediately!
He not only beat them. He pimped them. While it remains that Miles Davis was a genius musically, he was very often not a nice man...especially if you were female.
Let he that without sin cast the first stone. From the comments it looks like yall think yall are perfect. Everybody has flaws, ain't no sin worse than the other. Miles changed before he died, and he had his own journey to walk like we all do. Beating women is bad, but most musicians from back in the day hit their wives, but god gave them a talent and they used it well.
No man/men/people are perfect, it remains to be seen.However, musicians/artists/athletes/performers are not role models as such.The quality of their art and performance needs to be valued and judged on it's on merits,separate from their personal lifes.People who are in leadership positions, such as politicians and pastors, are supposed to be the individuals who we judge on a higher standard for their personal lives and behaviors. If we're not gonna hold them accountable for their behaviors with women,leave the musicians alone.
How can his life be more inspirational? Dude has beaten up all his women, abused drugs and pimped to sustain his lust for heroin. His music is the only thing to be inspired by, as he has managed to recreate and explore his sound along the span of almost 3 decades
I had a friend who’s therapist at a rehab went to treatment with miles Davis and he was in such bad denial he was saying “I didn’t know what they were putting in my arm, I’m blind!”
I understand he had Acquired Immune Deficiency. How will they incorporate that in the movie without being less than forthcoming? He was a great musician!
on another video people said Miles was a pimp?? from this video I haven't gathered that. He was from a upper middle class family. Is the pimping thing true?
Miles was an awful person, especially towards women. You cannot read his autobiography and think otherwise. His music was in a different lane, and he was crucial as an inspiration and guide for many great musicians, but as a human being, he was really a POS. Unfortunately, too many jazz musicians, since 1990, when his book came out, have used his autobiography as a guide to life-it's not.
🤔The only reason why I’m watching these videos is because I’m trying to see what Cicely Tyson (and any woman) saw in him. I just don’t see anything appealing about him. 🤨 To each their own. 🤷🏻♀️
@@usmc1875 - 🤔Of course I have heard his music and sure it sounds sexy but not to the tune where I’m gonna stay in a relationship with him while he is beating me!
@@Mythical444 - 🤔He may have been a “revered musician” but when I pair his music with his ugly meanness and abuse…everything about the appeal of his music is diminished…it loses ALL & ANY appeal with me. There is NOTHING about the combination of his ugly, abusive, mean self & his nice music that would make me or entice me to stay with him or be with him in any way shape or form. He was an ugly disgusting abusive insecure jerk. Oh well, maybe it’s just me and how I think & maybe I’m just built different. 🤔
Clark Terry should be a shame of even talking about Miles , he's the greatest . just points out when you're alive people pretend to be your friends. when you died then all have an opinion about you . what a nerve
Yo, WHAT?! Miles Davis was no doubt one of the brightest minds music has ever seen, but he straight up robbed Clark Terry blind. There's no pretending to be his friend, he's literally pointing out an event
sun princess:. If you would check you will find out that many white musicians of that time had drug habits too. Back then they made sure to highlight any black musician on drugs and cover up for white musicians doing the same thing. Just like now you have all these white people addicted to heroin and pain killers and they are trying to help them, but back when black were going through the same thing they didn't try to help them only let them die or sent them to prison.
@@ranchmang seriously if people wanted to hear white people sing that’s a preference, truthfully credit is due to black musicians for most of the music we have, so they get credit, but only from the people from whom it matters, whatever that credit may be.
Because Mile’s was an innovator and at the very top of his game. These other white musicians who learned from him and aped his style got more gigs and more money simply for their skin color, not because they were any more popular or better at playing. It’s called systemic racism and it sucks. Hope I answered your question.
@@ChillVanille Robert Johnson arguably created rock and roll in the 30s, but do you listen to Robert Johnson like I do? No? Well then are you racist? I get what you are trying to say, but systemic racism is just a buzz word and does not apply to this situation, at the time black artists weren’t as mainstream, people wanted to hear rock from more relatable white people, just because you don’t want to listen to black music doesn’t make you a racist, it’s a preference, and they did get paid less, because they didn’t sell records like Elvis did, though individuals who happened to be black arguably created the entire music industry, and moved it forward by decades, and they do get paid, absolutely, but they inspired so many people, which is what music is all about, and many black people back then understood that, and weren’t all about victimhood fame and money, like people are today.
@@ChillVanille their music reached the right people is what I’m trying to say, real people, I’d hate their music to be perverted back then like it is today, horrible.
Been playing guitar for 50 years and Miles is my favourite musician.
Miles is one of the realest baddest mf in history
That's the way I found out as well thought i was coming down with a cold gods grace and glory save me .Thank you
Thank God ❤
Sounds like there needs to be a Miles Davis movie
There is on HBO Don Cheadle plays him, it looks good lol

Nobody will come close to his voice or mannerisms and antics in terms of acting.
Needs to be a serious documentary. You can't write a movie of his life that anyone would buy.
👍AGREED
I like that under Clark terry it just says “trumpet”
😂😂
I am pretty sure that guy is NOT a trumpet.
😂😂😂😂 a talking trumpet wow
maybe he's reffering to his own stolen trumpet
Miles was so mysterious! I want to kno more, and the way he played...so natural an with his own timing🎺😎🎶
find his autobiography - "Miles the autobiography" by Miles Davis with Quincy Trope
That exact word is right ,...Mysterious
Him, Quincy, Ray....a lot of them jazz cats was on the smack!
Quincy??

@@MJLagunaJr the drugs aged him it never fails
Hahaha I started sweatin
People will never understand how crappy drugs are
Except, for you, apparently, huh? I guess you’re special.
@@chuckd5877 I don't take drugs
Hahaha “crappy”

God bless clark terry
his life is more inspirational than his music sheets tbh
How can his life be more inspirational? Dude has beaten up all his women, abused drugs and pimped to sustain his lust for heroin. His music is the only thing to be inspired by, as he has managed to recreate and explore his sound along the span of almost 3 decades
He enjoyed the game he played
I had a friend who’s therapist at a rehab went to treatment with miles Davis and he was in such bad denial he was saying “I didn’t know what they were putting in my arm, I’m blind!”
Miles davis? Sounds like Ray Charles
Stevie wonder?
@@vibrantdragon3123😂
Miles Davis had issues of sorts. Like anyone. He wasn't a bad looking dude. And he looked very cool
Wow.....
I think he was married to Cicely Tyson.
He was
Yes, his third wife.
techno music
im addict chassing dragon 30 years
I read Miles’ biography. Yes, he pimped out women. Some really shady stuff, but his music is timeless.
DRUGS RAN HIM CRAZY THAT'S WHY HE DIDN'T WANT TO TALK GIVE HIS THOUGHTS ABOUT ANYTHING BRAINS ATE-UP THE END WAS COMING REST ✌
What?
Alessandro de Souza 👦 👦 👦 👦
He looks like an old queen.
Jack Pea shut up
Heroin will do that to you.
who's narrating this?
I understand he had Acquired Immune Deficiency. How will they incorporate that in the movie without being less than forthcoming?
He was a great musician!
Was that ever certified or confirmed
@@sirjer73he had sickle cell and diabetes he never had AIDS or HIV
is this a braking bad reference
Si c'est pour nous montrer 2 minutes de Miles alors abstenez vous. No way !
Ces 2 minutes contribuent à ne pas se faire une fausse image d'un artiste :) Les faits sont les faits
He was introduced to serious drugs by Charlie Parker.
on another video people said Miles was a pimp?? from this video I haven't gathered that. He was from a upper middle class family. Is the pimping thing true?
Lmao noooo😩
Wat a G
He talks a lot about it in his autobiography.
Did you comment without watching the video?
It straight up say that. Start at 1:22
Read his biography. It’s a bit long, but informative.
"he got me" he said that with a laugh..but the way it is with addicts.
Wish I did heroin in the 50s fuck that was probably some great pure shit
So What!

Pimping wemen in order to support his habit.... What kind of dirty tricks did he to get himself fixed ? God would know if he would exist !!!

@@beaujac311 yes I totally agree.
