The ferocity with which Lena performed this was almost frightening. This was no mere "acting", it's clear that the song resonated with her on a very deep level, and she was putting it all out there for everyone to see. Amazing interpretation that will probably never be topped. Glad I got to see it "live" during her one woman show - because as much as "Stormy Weather" may have been her signature tune, this was The Lady & Her Music's real emotional centerpiece for me.

You can tell she lived every word of this song. Man, Mama Lena didn't "sing" this song: she SANG IT.

I feel so grateful that I saw this performance of hers on Broadway. This rendition of the song is the best ever. The hair still stands up on the back of my neck when I hear it! Brava Horne!

@Ruffian144 _I TOO am such as you described! And I am also a singer! And THIS is how I WANT to sing THIS song! All of the other renditions just never 'did' it for me, until I heard Mamma Horne 'DO IT"! WOW! I won't be her, but this type of approach, and arrangement is what I have always heard of it! I am sooo Moved by HER treatment of it, I am driven to tears......everytime! God Bless Mama Lena, and God Bless YOU!
Much Love to you all, Bro. Carl Jenkins
Lena Horne was amazing. She was of a time when you really had to sing and not just look good while a computer "fixed" your voice for you like so many of today's "artists", if you could call half of them that after seeing this woman at work. Thanks for uploading!
