Key: Bb major•
Verse 1
is that wonderful new singer
with Count Basie's big band.
She made her record debut back
in 1929
with James P. Johnson at the piano
on OK.
Tonight I got the idea of teaming her
with a small band
with Count Basie on piano,
Lester Young switching over to clarinet,
Buck Clayton on trumpet,
Joe Jones on drums,
and Walter Page on bass.
Helen's going to sing the blues,
