  • The great Lena Horne honored at the 1984 Kennedy Center Honors. I've been inspired by Ms. Horne my whole life, and I love that this tribute gives a peek into her incredible depth of talent, dignity, and strength.

    I saw Lena Horne and The Lady and her Music at Tanglewood on a Labor Day weekend in the early 1980s. It was unquestionably the finest musical performance I have ever attended. Just her, alone on the stage, with the musicians, telling her story. No spinning the message, truth from her heart.

    She’s so refined, elegant, strong and beautiful. This was a touching tribute and her happiness was palpable

    Starting from a very young age, I tried to see as many of the truly "great" singers in concert as possible (i.e., Frank, Ella, Tony, Sarah, Peggy, Carmen, etc., as well as the major artists of the next generation, such as Aretha, Diana, Barbra, etc.) Of all of those performances, Horne's "The Lady and Her Music" is, hands down, the one show I would most like to go back in time and see again. She was electrifying. I've never seen a performer captivate an audience the way she did.

    She was stunning and talented. Breathtakingly beautiful. She opened the doors for many. Because she would like it and looked almost like she could open doors the other blacks who were of Darker Hue could not open in Hollywood and the entertainment industry

    This video just made me cry. I love Lena so much, I wish I could've met her. She deserves far more than this, she didn't receive enough credit in this lifetime. But believe me one day she will. At least she's with her Father, and husband, and her son

      It's not about being a queen, it's about influence. MJ was mentioned because he's just as legendary as the other ARTISTS named and his success would not have been possible without Lena Horne. Glad we had this talk.
