"My identity is very clear to me now. I am a black woman. Im free. I no longer have to be a credit. I dont have to be a symbol to anybody; I dont have to be a first to anybody. I dont have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped Id become. Im me, and Im like nobody else. -Lena Horne

@tesubcalle , Black don't crack. It's true. White people have a lot of susceptibility to the sun damage and other elements of the atmosphere making them age physically much faster

I wish we had singers like this this today. If you listen to what college students are listening to today, it's not music like this, but it's similar in the sense it sounds similar to other music of the time. They're gettin' back to non-synthetic music, the way it should be.

@NYCguys2007 Yes!

I thought I had heard all of Lena's songs, but I had not heard this one nor have I ever seen this performance. Thanks!

"A New Fangled Tango" sung live is a gem beyond compare. Can anyone help an old man please?

Extremely beautiful woman. There could only be one Lena. Sadly missed beautiful angel...thank you for your talent and tremendous class.

Spectacular:)

DUDE. 50?!!!!!!!!
If this is accurate, then I must echo nigel and carpentermanuel. She doesn't look a day past 30. Unlined, unwrinkled, fresh. She doesn't even sound 'old'. Damn good genes, that's for sure. RIP, Ms. Horne.
Wow she looks lovely and sounds good!
I love people like her judy garland and ella fitzgerald! They are my favourites from that era =)

@ForeverComplaining What we need is a Lena REVIVAL. She seems to be forgotten since her death...how about some unreleased recordings? How about a coffeetable photo book? How about a good bio after the catty Gavin bio? Bio-pic?
