Artist: Lena Horne
LP: Lena ~ Like Latin
Song: "Old Devil Moon"
[ listen ]
I was pretty bummed yesterday when I found out that singer, actress and neat lady Lena Horne had died over the weekend. Her lovely and distinctive voice has been one of my favorites ever since I saw her dynamic performance of "If You Believe" in the 1978 movie THE WIZ when I was a kid. As my friend Julie says, Lena was a real class act. You can read the New York Times obituary for Lena Horne here, read more about her life and career here and below you'll find the notes from the back of Ms. Horne's 1963 "Lena ~ Like Latin" LP.
