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 »

girls i have a secret if you lsten i will tell
'it's so romantic
met a charming gentleman and on his teeth so swelll
i'm alsmost frantic
beautiful eyes
he had such beautiful eyes
beautiful lies
he told such beautiful lies
he had me hypnotized mezmorized
beautiful eyes
he never seemes to get wise
he called me such prety things
then he pawned all my rings
but he had such beautiful eyes
aint it awful mable
when your sweetheart proves untrue
there all decieving
all the foolish things you did will then come back to you
your heart is grieving
beautiful eyes
i never did realize
someday he woudl dissapear
and would leave me here
beautiful eyes
he left me so many seighs
and like they say in the greek
he had lots of cheek 
and oh such beautiful eyes
he was such a good friend
all my money he'd spend 
but he had such beautiful eyes
