Who would choose a tune like this to sing? Not many since it's damn near impossible to get it right. Veronica flaunts her mastery. And what a tempo. Shirley Horn I know is smiling. This is so high art.
Masterful! Not many so called Jazz Singers can successfully pull this Hefti/Basie classic off! Her “tone” is awesome on this song! My favorite is still Montgomery Plant & Stritch Live @ Newport ‘88!
Hi Ronnie - We are listening in my class! Jacob says "that was really cool". Zackary says, " Your songs are pretty nice." Anisa says, " I like your voice." xo

Don't need no palace paved with gold Don't need more cash than banks can hold When I get to feelin', a feelin' For something there ain't too much of My sweet lil' darlin' gives me her love Don't catch me chasin' 'round at night I'm not impressed by glamor sights Lil' darlin' may not be as pretty As some other gals you can see But my lil darlin' only loves me
Beautiful. Though the pace could have been even more languid. Still she's clearly one of jazz top new five along with Cecile, Jazzmeia, Cyrille and Melody.
...oh my...I was expecting something more "Basie-esque"...but she's given it a whole new interpretation...a little slower tempo...more of a ballad...but wonderful...
Basie did it multiple tempos. Mostly a little faster. That said, this tune is kind of a test. Like Irish Tune by Grainger. How slow can you away with. She gets away with it.
I love this singer so much. She is gold.
Yes, she really is.
Sheer jazz brilliance one of the best singers around, we sometimes think they have all left us then boom up she comes!!! Thank goodness.
First time I’ve heard vocals on this tune. And it sounds great. Gonna look for other versions. Thanks, Ms. Swift!

all truth
That tempo is impossible. WOW!
Yes indeed. To even know the song.
Has any other singer even attempted this song? WOW!

Veronica is one of the best female singers ever!!
Veronica exuding the sweetness of this sweetest of tunes!
This is realy outstanding, what a talent !
One word, FANTASTIC!!!
Veronica is just wonderful! Her voice is like velvet... How come only 2K views in 7 months? I can't get it...
I think very few singers could pull off this great Neal Hefti tune, she nailed it.
Superb vocal with masterful back-up trio. Wow!
Stupendously stupendous
cool version !! Very special - I Love it !!!
Captivating! Thank you.
Lil darlin'@ Count Basie! Gorgeous and wonderful voice! Greeting from Jazz man, Kuala Lumpur.
The Count Basie Band recorded this tune but the composer was Neal Hefti
In one word, "BRILLIANT"!
so amazing!
Amazing, so in love with her and her talent😍 someone please tell me how does she do that!!!!!
Neal Hefti's composition, made famous on Basie's album "Atomic Basie"...
Absolute perfection .
Great!
Keep laying the velvet!

Вероника - прелесть!!!
Wow, she convinced me that this song is a slow sexy dream I had late last night.
Don't want no palace paved with gold
Don't need more cash than banks can hold
When I get to feeling a feeling
For something there ain't too much of
My sweet li'l darling gives me her love
Won't catch me chasin' 'round at night
I'm not impressed with glamorous sights
Li'l darling may not be as pretty
As some other girls you may see
But my li'l darling only loves me
You know I love my baby and
She loves me
Something tells me constantly
So she was never chased around by lots of other guys
She never won no beauty prize
It's me and me all alone she can see
She's the kinda chick who likes to stay home in the evenin'
Most of my friends tell me she is rare
S'long as she loves me
I don't care
I meant what I said when I said
Won't catch me chasin' 'round at night
I'm not impressed with glamorous sights
Li'l darling may not be as pretty
As some other girls you may see
But my li'l darling only loves me
Don't need no palace paved with gold
Don't need more cash than banks can hold
When I get to feelin', a feelin'
For something there ain't too much of
My sweet lil' darlin' gives me her love
Don't catch me chasin' 'round at night
I'm not impressed by glamor sights
Lil' darlin' may not be as pretty
As some other gals you can see
But my lil darlin' only loves me
She is not singing a great jazz spirt is coming through her
Me encantó. Muy difícil de mantener lo original ; que recuerdo....
Beautiful. Though the pace could have been even more languid. Still she's clearly one of jazz top new five along with Cecile, Jazzmeia, Cyrille and Melody.
Actually Neil Hefti wrote and arranged Lil Darlin for
Count Basie.
And Samara makes six!
Does anyone know where does vocalise come from ? 😍
Did you evee find out ?
❤
Hefti and Base smiling. As well they should
Is the vocalise the same chords as the head?
👏🏼👏🏼✨🌟✨
well finally, we found Barbra Streisand's Replacement.!!! :)
Could Streisand scat a Bird solo like Swift? I don’t think Swift wants to act. So know if your looking that’s a false equivalency imho.
Using wife's phone not her opinions Oh perfect so true and no way I can listen to her talent won't matter just the Babs thing argh
A very nice voice. She is still young and has to work on her voice. Thank You.
composed by Neal Hefti
Listen to saxophone players much.?
...oh my...I was expecting something more "Basie-esque"...but she's given it a whole new interpretation...a little slower tempo...more of a ballad...but wonderful...
The pace is a bit slow. Artistic choice.
Basie did it multiple tempos. Mostly a little faster. That said, this tune is kind of a test. Like Irish Tune by Grainger. How slow can you away with. She gets away with it.
you're crazy! the slower the better with this tune. Ive never done heroin but this makes me feel like i'm on it!
Shirley horn is smiling
She is not singing a great jazz spirit is coming through her
