Sad news today of the death (at the ripe old age of 92) of that magnificent vocalist, civil rights campaigner, and all-round entertainer Miss Lena Horne.
An eternal favourite here at Dolores Delargo Towers, Miss Horne defied the racial embargo in America in the 1950s and 60s with roles in Hollywood movies, and went on to become an international superstar, selling out concert venues across the globe and making numerous stage and TV appearances both in the US and here in the UK, where her music proved even more successful than it was back home.
Here are a couple of our personal favourites by Miss Horne. We will miss her luscious voice and shining glamour - RIP.
