Lena Horne: June 30, 1917 – May 9, 2010

Lena Horne, an American singer, actress, civil rights activist and dancer. She passed away on May 9th as a result of heart failure. She was 92.

I was really introduced to Lena Horne in my favorite movie, The Wiz, where she sings, If you believe. I know my mini-tribute to her comes late, but it was something I had to do. She was a woman of class and talent. A definite legend.
