While their marriage ended in divorce, Tyson nonetheless made a huge impact on the trumpeter's life well before they were even married — so much so that a striking side profile photo of her appears on his album Sorcerer, which was released in 1967 (via Miles Davis). "On the cover, Cicely Tyson, Miles' new muse," reads the description on the musician's website. "On stage, the quintet's pieces now flowed into one another without interruption, and the compositions recorded in the studio replaced the old standards."
When NPR noted that Tyson seemed to have a forgiving spirit, she agreed. "Well, isn't that what we're supposed to do, forgive each other, huh?" she said. "We don't keep riding a rough truck over a sensitive soul. You can't do that. If people are looking for help, and you look and you see them and you know that they need help and you can help them."
