this is CLASS...there will NEVER be another. No amount of "web coverage" , pop buzz or media sensationalism can take the place of the dignity, talent, and radiance this woman had. NEVER had a "need" for booty clappin or artifical "fillers" because she had TRUE TALENT. You are a FLOWER Ms Horne...THANK YOU for your service to the human spirit and collective heart & soul. God bless you R.I.P. When you run into MJ up there, could the 2 of you do a duet for the Angels with Ray Charles on the keys?

Lena is talking right to me... May she rest in peace. The most beautiful black female entertainer EVER. She aged better than anybody I've seen on TV. That voice will be forever missed and her beauty is timeless. She paved the way for every black female entertainer of the latter half of the 20th century and 21st. Love you Lena!

This performance CHANGED MY LIFE. At the time of these awards I was broke, unemployed and could not find any direction for my life.I watched Lena in wonder and believed in myself and my ability to turn my life around. God bless you Lena. RIP. X

One of the magicians of twentieth century music. She made each song a message and that charisma is never going to be revived by the current crop of sassy thangs who think soul is just an attitude or an affectation. She will always be associated with great music, style and better days.
