Lena Horne

Lena Horne news, related photos and videos, and reviews of Lena Horne performances. According to Wikipedia: Lena Mary Calhoun Horne is an American popular singer. While she has recorded and performed extensively with jazz musicians, Billy Strayhorn, and Duke Ellington, she is usually not considered a jazz singer because she does not improvise. She currently lives in New York City and still makes public appearances. She might be best-known for her version of the song "Stormy Weather", which was a hit in the 1940s.
