Count Basie was one of the Swing Era’s greatest talent brokers — and among his top picks was the booming voice of the great Joe Williams. Williams made his name with the Basie band in the mid-50’s and his signature Blues hits secured his place as an icon in both the Jazz and Blues idioms. Along with ‘Everyday I Have The Blues’, ‘Alright, Okay, You Win’ is a blues standard best associated with the Grammy winner.
