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 »

Five o'clock in the morning
And there is no one on the street but me
Well, it's five o'clock in the morning
And there is no one on the street but me

And I am evil, tired and lonely
And you're not where you ought to be
I'd be so happy, baby
If you are where you ought to be

This morning, I'd be so happy, baby
If you were where you ought to be
This morning, my whole world is empty, darling
Because you're not here with me

Don't think that I don't love you
Cause I don't write you everyday
Don't feel that I don't need you
Because I haven't much to say

I love you and I need you
So bad that I could cry this morning
Until you are here with me, baby
Well, there's no way in the world for me to be satisfied
