Thankyou for producing this classic video of the great Lena Horne Baz before her passing, 1918-2010 what a long and rich life she gave the world. Your photos
and carefully selected songs really pay tribute to her memory.
The remarkable Ms. Horne has just passed away in a New York hospital...she will always be remembered as a legend, icon, and glamorous trail-blazer! She's singing in heaven, now!
I love the montage and the great songs. Lena Horne is another of the great movie personalities of the 30's and 40's. There never will be another one like her.
Mrs Horne blew it well with her creative style and voice. This creole beauty made her mark in films with such class and dignity. She even appeared in Show Boat` with
@globehunter2 Actually, that clip is from the film "Til' the Clouds Roll By," which was a tribute to the composer, Jerome Kern. Lena was not actually in "Show Boat," unfortunately, but her appearance in this clip makes many think she was...
She's very underrated, very special! I loved her work in Cabin in the Sky and Stormy Weather! She's also featured in TCM's book of leaidng ladies - Good job Lena! Thanks for this lovely tribute with music like Lena's too!
I used to love seeing Lena Horne on talk shows. Thank you for making this beautiful tribute for her.

Stella Adler said that Lena Horne & Judy Garland were the best two singing actresses.

Mrs Horne blew it well with her creative style and voice. This creole beauty made her mark in films with such class and dignity. She even appeared in Show Boat` with
a colorful part singing a lovely song. Her
gift to us was simply being her self! and
working even until this day as her self.
Into her late eighties now she still sings
for friends and small social gatherings,
even Father time has given Lena a extended tour.
Great Lady* and talent.

Movies were a very small part of Lena's singing career. It took off AFTER she left movies -- in the 1950s. She was never underrated.
