Accepted Answer

In natural English speech, "Basie" appears in contexts such as: "There's almost no recordings of this period, because Billie Holiday and Count Basie were signed to competing record label contracts. However the newspapers who covered the event very thoroughly said that, "Chick Webb kicked Count Basie's band's butt, but Billie won over Ella Fitzgerald hands down." It seems like this would have been a match made in heaven, Billie Holiday and Count Basie.". Listen to the exact timestamped clip in the accompanying video with synchronized subtitles.
