All Of Me – 1965

Count Basie

There was no band like Basie’s

“All Of Me” has been performed and recorded a countless number of times through the years, but the Count Basie Orchestra’s version is one of its classics.

This rendition from 1965 gives the pianist-leader a chance to be in the solo spotlight as he states the melody and takes a short spot.

Check out the big band’s surprising entrance.
