Lena Horne - Stormy Weather & Other Favorites (CD)

One of the most expressive voices in jazz history, the amazing Lena Horne made her mark in the jazz world not only as a vocalist of the highest order, but as an actress who broke the color barrier, a civil rights activist and as an ambassador of good will throughout the world. With a career that spanned over 75 years, Lena remained the quintessential American jazz singer. Presented here is some of her finest work doing what she did best - making the time honored jazz standards her own, including "Stormy Weather," "The Lady Is a Tramp," and "The Best Things in Life Are Free." All selections newly re-mastered.
