LIL' DARLING a music of Neal Hefti

[Jean Pierre]

Li'l Darlin' is a 1957 jazz standard, composed by trumpeter Neal Hefti for the Count Basie Orchestra.

The french lyrics and cover was by Henri Salvador and named "Count Basie"

I made that off the cuff but if I have the courage,  I would add a guitar especially for the magnificent chord G13 in arpeggio of the beginning of the song

good morning from France

the lyrics in french

Tout les matins quand j' sors du lit
Je mets un disque de Count Basie
Il ne m'en faut pas d'avantage
Pour m'enlever tous mes soucis
Juste un p'tit disque de Count Basie
En prenant mon café au lit
J'écoute un disque de Count Basie
Et ça me donne du courage
Je me sens comme au paradis
Avec un disque de Count Basie
Juste un p'tit disque de Count Basie
Un bon p'tit disque de Count Basie
Basie! Basie! Oui!
