Re: Lena Horne dies

I am sad to see that Lena Horne has died at the age of 92.
Highly successful in her own right, she also performed with some of the biggest actors and musicians in America.
She did a huge amount of work for the Civil Rights movement.
Many will associate her with songs such as "Stormy Weather" and "Honeysuckle Rose",
but I smile with fond memories of her mischievous version of "New Fangled Tango."
She did a lot of good social work and provided a lot of good entertainment.

She was a true star....beautiful, graceful and ethereal. Heard 'Stormy Weather' on the news yesterday and got goosebumps.
