We learned that Lena Horne, one of the best female vocalists ever, passed away at age 92.
She had a great voice and very elegant look!
Her story is rather remarkable:
"Lena Horne, who was the first black performer to be signed to a long-term contract by a major Hollywood studio and who went on to achieve international fame as a singer, died on Sunday night at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York." (NYT)
It's hard to pick a favorite song but her version of "Where or When" is great:
"It seem we stood and talked like this before
we looked at each other in the same way then,
But I cant remember where or when.
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore.
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then,
But i cant remember where or when.
Some things that happened for the first time,
Seem to be happening again.
And so it seems that we have met before
and laughed before and loved before,
But who knows where or when."
