Lena Horne, Sultry Singer and Actress, Dies at 92 - Obituary (Obit) - NYTimes.com (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/10/arts/music/10horne.html)

Beautiful, immensely talented, and being the first African American to be signed with a major Hollywood studio - groundbreaking.

R.I.P. Ms. Horne.

My dad thought her to be America's most outstanding woman after Elenor Roosevelt.

I remember seeing her here in OKC around 12-13 years ago with the symphony. She still had it then and was an amazing talent.
