Used to Be Duke is a studio album by Johnny Hodges, accompanied by members of Duke Ellington's orchestra, released by Norgran Records in October 1956.

[1][2] Scott Yanow on AllMusic gave the album four stars out of five, commenting "Hodges had a particularly strong group.

High points include 'On the Sunny Side of the Street', the title track and a seven-song ballad medley.

"[2] {Revised} The ballad medley on the Spotify release and some vinyl copies has been printed wrong, mixing up some tunes and excluding "all of me" which is titled as "Poor Butterfly" on the Spotify release, the correct list is as follows: Autumn in New York, Sweet Loraine, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, If You Were Mine, Poor Butterfly, All Of Me
