An American treasure passed away yesterday, leaving us to mourn and the heavens rejoicing with her song. On stage and in real life, Lena Horne was class personified. Read the details of her near seventy year career here in her NYT obituary. In 1941, "Stormy Weather," the song that became her signature also propelled her on the road to international stardom. She was quality personified. See and hear for yourself:
Oh that we could have singers - and songwriters - of that quality today.
UPDATE: Just found this two-part profile posted on YouTube a few days ago. Well worth you time.
