Lena Horne - Stormy Weather/If You Believe

[khatman100]

I attended one of her performances - what a classy lady!

[grethomory]

One of the great ones who truly paved the path.

[CJRabb3]

that is pure talent no gimmicks just soul stirring, powerful, heartfelt music!

[daniwt2]

woah!



[TheLovliestTear]

Awesome.

[0917gva]

Wow, I love Lena Horne. What a fabulous voice. Smooth as silk yet powerful such that you know she is singing with every single fiber of her being. Great post.

[GospelAccording2ME]

Lena gave it to us each and every time she performed this tune...never the same twice. Now, that's the hallmark of a performer.

[divery4eyes]

wow. look at her while she sings, the music just seems to flow from her.

so many artists seem to be forcing it out, sometimes with disastrous results. But Ms. Lena Horne . . . .

[missabbebuck]

If you believe...watch ms. horne. Believe.

[whitneyluv96]

she had the best vibrato. miss her. RIP Lena

[THEDISH54]

I had the honor to hear this song sung by Ms. Horne for 2 years working with her on The Lady and Her Music Broadway Show...it was amazing that she did 2 hours and we did about 25 minutes of singing and dancing in this show. There are singers now that could take some lessons from her in articulation and flow with there singing. She was a true DIVA and I will always thank God that I was given the chance to dance and sing along side of this great legend. Thank you Ms. Horne and Auntie..ChinaDoll

[dawn220]

She ATE this performance! I hope some of these new school singers/performers take heed and study this!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!! RIP, Lena...

[granicofred]

What the hell!!

Really theres a reason to life, world, and love?! Now i trust (in your vocal cords)., Lena.. Rest with us.

[rogfedserwil]

Looked all over everywhere, and have concluded this is the BEST rendition of "Stormy Weather" I have ever heard, which is fitting considering it was given by the woman who ORIGINATED the song way back when. And just to think, this woman used to doubt her vocal abilities... no way....... R.I.P. Lena!!

[LaFinlay]

This misery...is just too much, it's too much for me *choked up

Luv this live version of Stormy Weather...Listen to it each day!

R I P Classy Lady!

[stage7]

@LaFinlay _Now You've done gone and 'DONE IT'! Now "I'M" all a MESS TOO! I thought I was gonna make it, sorta, after watching this POWER! Then I read your words, which clearly triggered what I was tryin' to hold! (",) You know us 'guys'!!! heh heh! But THIS LADY "SLAYS", even after she's gone, which is another heartbreak in itself! I LOVE HER! God BLESS Her LEGACY! I HOPE others LEARN and RESPECT THIS TALENT, and this SPIRIT and SOUL! LOVE LENA!! (all in tears now..)! C J

[sassysizzle]

Perfect example of "sexy"....

[masterclipster7485]

Sang Lena!!! We miss you love! Rest in perfect peace!

[teanbean79]

When you watch singers like this, it just makes me sad that we're left with no talent in the music industry now days.. Thank God for YouTube

[robinquinc329]

@teanbean79 You just said everything that there is to say about music and talent today!

[mlr48]

I can hardly believe her beauty - it was timeless as was her talent.

[0433eros]

Yeah. She crushed that!

[RaineaTrenton]

She put her stank on it!

[outinsider]

That performance better have gotten a standing ovation. You acknowledge a Queen no matter where she is.

[QTipbandit]

Class....Act. This is loving what you do, feeling it, and putting on a show. Simply wonderful.

[roblimusic]

seriously though!! Masterful is understated here... Too much soul I'm in pieces - what in heavens name was the rehearsal like?!?!??

[phxphillip]

What a class Act......I will never forget.....GOD BLESS HER...what a joy we had while she was on this earth..............I saw her in the 70's in New Orleans......what a show...we all walked out wanting more.....the best!

[leplaq]

@nerissaknm Exactly!!!! I'd say they hit the wrong button by mistake?? R.I.P dear Lena

[ImYourVj]

She completely pulls u in and makes u believe every word... I love this.. No one does this better..

[jclarencelove3rd]

@ImYourVj She worked at the Cotton Club at the age of 16, "hidden from the truant officer," in 1934. Her beauty and poise as a singer at that age is legendary. Love to you, too....

[ImYourVj]

@jclarencelove3rd it truly is! I only hope one day I can achieve this and so much more. Thanks for all the love!!!

[MsKelleys]

This is from her one woman show Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music

[SSMD1]

[fukiboy]

[asa1973]

[tyavion]

@bandrunner57 she was in her early 60's. approximately 62-63

[12950w]

I am happy that I was fortunate enough to be in New York at the time Lene's one woman show was running on broadway.What a thrill to see and hear her.

[vikahilu]

I am so devastated that she is gone. This woman paved the way for other black music artist as well. I remember listening to lena horne when I was little. I love her heart and sho she is RIP darling you will be missed

[laarbe]

RIP Ms. Lena Horne. You walked thru the back door so we could walk thru the front door. A singer, performer, stage, screen, tv and recordings, civil rights activist, human activist. You did it all. You were beautiful and talented. You said when you died you were coming back as Tina Turner. Another bright shining star has just dimmed and went out down here on Earth. We love, honor, thank and will miss you Ms. Lena Horne.

[HandwhistlerBen]

Lena was such an extraordinary singer and unique performer. She did it her way and that was different then any other performer then or now.

[juansteen]

God Bless you, Miss Horne-You were a very rare, beautiful, courageous, sophisticated, super talented, and super loved gift to all who ever saw you, heard you, and, I am sure , ever knew you!...Rest in Peace

[mulioctaveman]

May this beautiful talent rest in eternal peace.

[hb2019]

"Stormy Weather" was a metaphor for the obstacles this remarkably gifted lady had to overcome.

[cjzzzzz]

What a talent!!! Rest In Peace!

[tpoplous]

Ms. Horne, we are grateful that you shared your wonderful gift with us and we are the better for you being there for us!!! What a talent!

[nvk54]

we'll miss you Lena a great and classy lady

[2bTheNaturalwoman]

That's entertainment!

[brucekimerer]

She sang Stormy Weather twice in the show. In the first act she treated it in the torch song manner we all know -- about what has been lost. In this iteration, the finale, she turns it into a song of defiance and triumph.

[brucekimerer]

I saw this show twice. She was 65 when she did this and it ran for over a year in NYC. She did not allow air conditioning in the theater.

[kungfupat]

When you listen to her and compare it to what passes as music now a days, there is no comparison. RIP Lena.

[LaBelleOfTheBall2]

It's funny/amazing/sad how her death brings people from out the woodworks to come comment on her videos and give thanks for her legacy and class, but when she was living, the comments were months apart. She has always been the tops and it's about time people see that.

[lovedbysweetie]

You can tell that Life beat the crap out of her...sigh...she had so much class.....

[jerrycortland]

She had it all

[JATJZ]

I cried this morning after hearing the news of this Great Classy Lady's death...

[gromiting]

Can I like it more than once?

[laurelle2020]

She always emulated such grace and class. You can't buy that. Either you have it or you don't.

[tikidiva82]

She was such a class act!! Truly a beautiful woman

[DLowryVA]

I'll bet the Lord is having a concert tonight! Rest in Peace Ms. Horne!

[bmkfan]

Ohhh I love it, I love it, I love it!

[yael8907]

She is funny! She had such a raw edginess to her that just catapults every time you see her perform. Powerhouse voice that shatters the room

[asa1973]

She is too much. Amazing. Flawless. Gritty and elegant all at once. A painful and beautiful and inspiring performance...

[rubberdc]

This is one of those concerts i wish I'd had the priviledge(and it is a priviledge) to attend.What have I missed ...?

[SibGirl01]

Thank God for Lena Horne. What a class act. :)

[phlashba]

Just imagine how an audience of today would have ruined that divine intro with their uncouth hoots and hollers.

[redbonegal]
