  • R.I.P Lena u were the best u r asome

  • what is this song called?? help me please

  • @mothraheisei Hi! The songs title is "I'm glad there is You". you should hear the covers by Ella Fitzgerald, and Gloria Lynne. Although I love me some Lena Horne, you may like those covers better. All these women can make your heart purr! lol!

  • what is this called?? help me please

  • @mothraheisei The name of this song is entitled "I'm Glad There Is You" which Lena recorded for her album "A Lady and Her Music".

  • Sure miss her, she was a classic beauty and a tiger at heart!

  • Lena Horne FTW

  • I can recall Lena Horne being a very classy sassy woman back in the day.

  • @terrancegassaway, you can say that again, much class!

  • Class!!!

    

  • lena horne was a beautiful african american woman

  • Lena was GORGEOUS! OmG she was gorgeous at ANY AGE. 

  • I love this song... it captures the essence of true love

    Thank you, Lena

  • I will never forget seeing this rerun on many occasions when I was younger!! Thanks to shows like this Lena's legend has been able to remain alive for multiple generations!!

  • Excellent comments about Lena!! You guys hit the nail on the head, class!!!!

  • What class. No one in "my generation" understands that this is what made people stars and helped them stay in the spotlight for 40-50 years. For all the Lady Gaga's and Katy Perry's, who in 5 years will more than likely will be footnotes in the music industry, there were people like Lena Horne whose legacies will live on forever.

  • Style, grace, elegance, sensuality, culture, strength, integrity & beauty.

    This was Lena Horne.

    This is what is missing from today's "artists".

  • Absolutely beautiful. Evokes feelings of true love and gratitude for your kindred soul...I love you B....

    :-)

  • When she sings this it just makes me cry... because whe gives this song a life of its on.

  • Lena Horne another gift from God for all of us to appreciate. The woman was beautiful and talented beyond words

  • R.I.P. Ms. Lena

  • i wish i would have discovered her music earlier.

  • What a legend!

  • I'm glad there was you, Ms. Horne. RIP.

  • RIP Ms. Horne

  • R.I.P. Ms. Horne.

  • Whats the name of the song Lena's singing?

  • RIP

  • gotta give props to Bill Cosby, this how I heard of her, I think I was about 7 or 8, I thought she was so pretty, classy to the end, see sex doesn't sell, everyone will remember her, Diahnn Carroll, and Diana Ross as classy ladies, I don't know how we'll remember Christina Aguilera and Beyonce, that is if they stay around as long as these ladies have.

  • I remember staying up late late in 3rd grade watching reruns of The Cosby Show and this video has touched my life and what I want in life. Timeless beauty, Timeless love, Timeless Lena Horne

  • This is my first memory of the stunning Ms. Horne. May Allah be pleased with her

  • She was so amazing. My grandparents loved her and I remember watching her movies and listening to her records. It is hard to believe she was in her 70's when she did this show. Just amazing

  • Gone but not forgotten. A symbol that will live on in all her contributions to society

  • Au revoir ma reine.

  • R.I.P.Lena What a classy woman:)

  • I love you lena!

    from a 37 year old white guy. :)

  • @ "Cmonty" -- What does "being White" have to do with anything? If you're to give condolences, give them as one human being to another. ;-)

  • @SexyProfess @SexyProfess Your right...................I wanted to convey the fact that I was not from her generation or ethnic background (demographic)AND I still absolutely adore her. She reached out to everybody was my only point. :)

  • @ "Cmonty" -- I know I'm right. I haven't been wrong since 1982. I simply found it inappropriate for you to mention "race", as it has no relevance. It's already understood that you don't have to be apart of someone's demographic or "ethnic background" in order to adore them. Simply offer your condolences, and let that be that.

  • @SexyProfess Lighten up know it all!

  • wow

    this is all i can say...

  • I would give anything to sing like that... and Lena said really ? You know how to get to Carangie hall?? Practice... practice and greater than many many great singers... Your life is gone you live in song and class!! peace to you and your

  • R.I.P Ms Horne

  • Pure unwiped anus.

  • She was so beautiful.

  • You simply can't beat Cosby Shw and ADW when it comes to the celebrity appearances and this is one of many that kept me glued to the TV luv the extraordinary Lena Horne

  • she is always so eloquent and elegant even tho they both mean the same thing. Just an incomparable woman.

  • My this song is beautiful!!!!.... always takes me there.

  • Lena Horne has taken good care of herself reall good care. Beautiful voice

  • this makes me cry everytimei hear it!!

    ima big baby i know..lol

  • The one and only Lena Horne. Extraordinary woman.

  • Stellar performance. Period.

  • She is 67 or 68 years old here, believe it or not. Stunning looks, stunning voice. One of the true greats. If you look at some of the last TV appearances she did just twelve years later, she looked a great deal older---- but still a beauty, and still singing spectacularly even at age 80, just like she sang beautifully at age 25. A great artist & classy lady. She's retired now at age 92, but I hope she knows how much she is loved, respected, and appreciated.

  • A beauty with no put-together face from plastic surgery! Just classy and yet sassy. I love Lena Horne.

  • whats the name of this song she sings?

  • "I'm Glad There Is You".

  • Rodney Jones on guitar.

  • Lena Horn is amazing.

  • I miss her so badly Ms Lena Horne a true diva of her time!

  • Timeless Beauty!

  • I love Lena.

  • I love Lena!

  • hey does anyone know the song that Clair sung when her sister was about to get married. I think it was "we belong together" but not sure

  • Love Lena

  • Happy 92nd, Miss Lena!!! :)

  • Lena Horne sounds and looks so beautiful in this episode...truly a legend!

  • Lena Horne never had a face lift BEN!!! And if you asked me (even though you didn't) she looks better than ever here. She aged better than any other black entertainer in history with NO plastic surgery.... She was 68 here and she looks about 45, 50.

  • No kidding, DR J. She looked fantastic in 1985.

  • Are you a comedian? Please be realistic and let Ms. Horne be a human being. She's obviously has it all done - nose, face eveything, so?

  • Comment removed

  • I remember this episode. Lena's performance was quite moving. Love her rendition.

  • Claire (Phylicia) looked great in this episode.

  • Claire has always been a very beautiful woman still is :)

  • wow.. that almost brought tears to my eyes.. beautiful words.. i felt that....

  • I know what you mean demarcusdt

  • Sorry, I meant gterminator06.

  • me too :)

  • Its hard to believe that Miss Horne is in her 90's now...but she is a phenomenal woman!

  • Wonderful song.

  • Lena sings with her soul...love it!!

  • Don't be messin' with "The Horn!"

  • The Temptations did a slammin' version of this song called "I'm Glad There Is You" on their 1995 album "For Lovers Only".

  • SH3 LOOK SCARY DO3...

  • I LIK3D TH3 SONG SH3 SUNG

  • I really have chills after hearing that... Lena is truly a classic icon that will forever reign in the halls of time! WHAT A LEGEND!

  • Um, Um, Um, Ms. Horne is still beautiful after all this time. Thank you for your gift Ms Horne

  • this reminds me of mr. rogers neighborhood lol

  • Amazing...when music had MEANING

  • What genre is this?

  • yall need to show lena some respect thats not only a legend but she is an adult.so what if she had surgery she is still one of my favorite singers my great-grandma always listens to her and she is a phenomenal singer and preformer!

  • Lena Horne is FABULOUS! LURVE her in anything she's ever done.

  • What's with all these condensed episodes? Can't you just put up the whole thing?

  • Lena Horne sure looked young for her age here. She was 67 when this aired.

  • 68, I believe this was 1985.

  • Well, she didn't look it. That's for sure.

  • she's still alive

  • She is a good singer but her face expresions are weird huh.

  • hahah

  • Her mouth is so big right I have a lot of music video's and Shows of Martin and the cosby show

  • u'r bad..LMAO

  • good lord.. it's called shading people. lol.. what do you think happened as she got older? her nose grew back? she's are great lady. she will be 91 this year i believe and she's always made us proud.

  • As someone who knew several people who worked with Lena over the years (including various hair and make-up artists), I can attest that she had fair amount of work done, and was somewhat self-conscious about it. SO WHAT? The woman was an icon, a brilliant performer, and someone who was in the public eye for over six decades... it's only logical that she would choose to have some periodic "freshening" to try to maintain her appearance. Even Sinatra had his face lifted... cut her some slack.

  • nice

  • guys please don't be rude. Lena Horne is not only a legend but epitomizes elegance and grace. she's not the first entertainer to have cosmetic surgery. nor will she be the last. must you negate everything? her career and life achievements far surpass the attention that her nose is receiving. that's peace. later.
