Get Up With It is an album collecting tracks recorded between 1970 and 1974 by Miles Davis. Released on November 22, 1974 as a double LP, it was Davis' last studio album before five years of retirement from music.

"He Loved Him Madly" is a half-hour jazz dirge in tribute to Duke Ellington, who had died one month before; Brian Eno cited it as a lasting influence on his own work. [1].
