R.I.P LENA HORNE

Im so sad to report that legendary singer, actress and dancer Lena Horne died on Sunday(5/9/10) night at the New York. Lena Horne was most famous...(well to me) for her AMAZING SINGING! She sang out with such power, yet had such a soft, soothing voice. One of her most famous songs was "Stormy Weather" accompanied by just as renowned musician Duke Ellington! Its funny that I just recently sang the operatic version of "Stormy Weather" in a voice final I took this semester. Also, Lena Horne was the good which in the classic Afro-American film "The Wiz" that held cast members such Michael Jackson (R.I.P) and Dianna Ross. Ms. Horne was truly an asset to music today and personally music/vocal styling for me. Oh also I found out in researching her, she was a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated a very prestigious African-American sorority. So this is my R.I.P to you Lena and may be singing amongst the angels now!
