Mmm, mmm, what a lady what a lady. Seasame Street was the first time I recall Ms. Lena Horne.

She performed for decades, stole the hearts of countless, and shined bright for all to see.

Lena Horne: “Don’t be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it’s just death.” “The best thing about living… is the chance to keep on doing it!” “Nobody, black or white, who really believes in democracy can stand aside now. Everybody’s got to stand up and be counted.”
