The Count Basie Orchestra is a 16 to 18 piece big band, one of the most prominent jazz performing groups of the swing era. The band survived the late-forties decline in big band popularity and went on to produce notable collaborations with singers such as Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald in the fifties and sixties. The group continued to perform and record as a ‘ghost band’ after Count Basie’s death, and are currently under the leadership of Bill Hughes.

All at once I knew
Darlin' love was near
I thrill to my finger tips

Darlin' oh so near
The music was so entrancing
The lights all began to fade
But only my heart obeyed
A flame grew from just a spark
When I found romance in the dark with you

Romance in the dark with you
Experiencing intimate moments in the darkness with you
All at once I knew
Suddenly realizing that love is close
Darlin' love was near
Expressing that the feeling of love was imminent
I thrill to my finger tips
Feeling excitement throughout the entire body
I could feel your lips
Sensing the kiss of the beloved
Darlin' oh so near
Loving the proximity of the significant other
The music was so entrancing
Being captivated by the enchanting music
The lights all began to fade
Seeing the lights dimming away
I said to myself keep dancing
Telling self to continue with the dance
But only my heart obeyed
Despite the advice, heart complied with the romantic thoughts
A flame grew from just a spark
A new love was born and blossomed
When I found romance in the dark with you
When the love emerged in the darkness with the beloved
