Count Basie

William "Count" Basie (August 21, 1904 – April 26, 1984) was an American jazz pianist, organist, bandleader, and composer. His mother first taught him piano and he started performing in his teens. Dropping out of school, he learned to operate lights for vaudeville and improvised to accompany silent films at a local theatre in his town of Red Bank, New Jersey. By 16, he increasingly played jazz piano at parties, resorts and other venues. In 1924, he went to Harlem, where his performing career expanded; he toured with groups to the major jazz cities of Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. In 1929 he joined Bennie Moten's band in Kansas City, and played with them until Moten's death in 1935. more »

Life is a song, let's sing it together.
Let's take our hearts and dip them in rhyme,
Let's learn the words, let's learn the music together,
Hoping the song lasts for a long, long time.
Life is a song that goes on forever.
Love's old refrain can never go wrong.
Let's strike the note Mendelssohn wrote concerning spring weather,
Let's sing together and make life a song.
Don't be afraid of the future
All of our plans will come through
How can they fail with love on our side
They'll never fail, we won't be denied
All the world's a symphony, for you , for me.
Life is a song, let's sing it together.
Let's take our hearts and dip them in rhyme,
Let's learn the words, let's learn the music together,
Hoping the song lasts for a long, long time.
Life is a song that goes on forever.
Love's old refrain can never go wrong.
Let's strike the note Mendelssohn wrote concerning spring weather,
Let's sing it together and make life a song.
