How About This is an album by vocalist Kay Starr and pianist and bandleader Count Basie, released in 1969 by the Paramount Records label.[1][2][3]
In the 1960s, Basie had previously recorded for Roulette Records, Reprise, and Verve, before recording single albums for a number of labels, including Paramount.[4] In December 1968, he recorded How About This with Starr; Dick Hyman was responsible for the arrangements.[4]
Starr's vocal performance was likened to that of Dinah Washington.[4]
