Ouch, Miss Lena is gone! The magnificent Lena Horne has passed away today at age 92. Despite the oppressive racism of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s that held back so much of her career, Lena Horne became a major star. Her life will stand as testaments that true talent and the will of the black spirit simply cannot be extinguish.
Rest in peace Lean Horne, the world is feeling some Stormy Weather without you.

Beautiful woman, beautiful voice.
Amen, Clifton.......one of my favorite CD's is 12 classics from the divine Lena.
Lena Horne was a great entertainer. None of these modern entertainers (think American Idiot) can hold a candle to the old timers. Rest in peace lovely lady. We'll all remember you fondly.

I always thought the GAP commercial she made was their best ever. (She might have made more than this one)
