<P> For the rest of the year, It Ain't Nothin' But the Blues again toured at regional theaters, running in Atlanta, San Diego, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C., and returning to New York in August 2000 at the B.B. King Blues Club and Grill for a month - long run . Jim Trageser of The Press - Enterprise, in a review of one of the San Diego performances, praised Taylor, saying he "has the lung power to simply take over any show, especially his own" and "shows surprising grace and athleticism as well as the kind of leonine masculinity that certain big men (Orson Welles, Babe Ruth) possess". Trageser also praised the writing, calling it "a superb job not only of selecting the songs, but in choosing arrangements that blow away all the cobwebs history has laid on many of them ." </P> <P> It Ain't Nothin' But the Blues was the longest - running show Taylor appeared in, as well as his final Broadway appearance . Taylor planned an IMAX film version of the production; and nine years after his death, it was revived by the New Harlem Arts Theater at the Aaron Davis Hall on the City College of New York campus . </P> <P> Taylor had numerous television roles . He voiced jazz musician "Bleeding Gums" Murphy on The Simpsons, appearing in the first season episode "Moaning Lisa" (1990) and returning for the character's death in the season six episode "' Round Springfield" (1995). He was one of the first people to guest star on the show . Taylor was supposed to reprise his role in the season two episode "Dancin' Homer", but was in New York and unable to record his part . Keith Phipps of The A.V. Club said the role gave Taylor "television immortality". He also reprised the role on a recording of Billie Holiday's song "God Bless the Child" on the 1990 The Simpsons' album The Simpsons Sing the Blues . He appeared as a Klingon chef in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and played wrestling instructor Coach Wingate in Twin Peaks . Other television roles included guest spots on NYPD Blue, ER, Profiler, Family Matters, Home Improvement and Ally McBeal . Taylor also had a recurring part in the 2000 series City of Angels, and played a blues singer in a two - part episode of Matlock, a role that was written for him . He also appeared in more than 20 films . These included Trading Places, Amos & Andrew, A Rage in Harlem (as Hank), The Mighty Quinn and Rush Hour 2 . </P> <P> After a 1991 appearance on the series L.A. Law, on which he played a singer sacked by a baseball team for "embellish (ing)" his performances of the American national anthem "The Star - Spangled Banner", Taylor received several invitations to sing it before sports events, although never expected anything to happen when he had taken the part . He sang it before the Major League Baseball game between the Baltimore Orioles and Detroit Tigers on July 1, 1991 . His rendition did not mimic that of his character: "the song is self - explanatory . I'm just going to sing the song straightforwardly and that's that ." Taylor received travel and accommodation expenses but no other payment for his performance . He also sang for a Los Angeles Kings National Hockey League game, and on August 5, 1995 he sang the anthem before the MLB match between the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox . </P>
