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 »

I want you, be around
When that evening sun goes down
I want you, be around
Keep my both feet on the ground
When that evening sun goes down

I want you, understand
Little girl, take me by my hand
I want you, understand
I wanna be your loving man
When that evening sun goes down

If it's nice, we'll go for a walk
A stroll in the clear moonlight
Singing a song, won't take long
Everything gonna be all right

And I wanna hold you oh-so near
Keep you, darling, from all fear
I wanna hold you oh-so near
Nibble on your little ear
When that evening sun goes down

If it's nice, go for a walk
Stroll in the clear moonlight
Sing you a song, won't take long
Everything gonna be all right

And I wanna hold you oh-so near
Keep you, darling, from all fear
I wanna hold you oh-so near
Nibble on your little ear
When that evening sun goes down

When that evening sun goes down
When that evening sun goes down
