Lena

Last Sunday, actress and jazz singer, Lena Horne, passed away in New York City at the age of 92.

What a life she led.

Her most notable performance is probably "Stormy Weather," but her incomparable voice immortalized countless other songs. I have included some of my favorites in a little playlist below.
