I had no idea that she was 92 years old. Rest in peace.

I have to say I am sitting here a bit stunned. A lot of memories are washing over me right now. She and her music were a part of my youth.

When I was a teen I was obsessed with this live recording of Lena singing "New Fangled Tango" from Happy Hunting. I must find it and listen again.

RIP to a beautiful, unique talent. I shall listen to Jamaica in your honor!

The OCR of JAMAICA is a fine showcase. And since there was hardly any story you can just enjoy one great Harold Arlen tune after another.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Wow.

That is all.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Rest in Peace, Lena. You left us a legacy of wonderful recordings and films. Your grace and beauty will continue to shine on forever.

May she rest in peace. My parents had a Lena Horne album when I was growing up that I liked enough to go see her in Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music. That show and her performance have stuck with me to this day. She epitomized strength and beauty.

I posted this in the thread on the Off Topic Board. It's Len accepting the honorary Tony Award for A Lady and Her Music and singing "If You Believe" from The Wiz.
