[78-L] Lena Horne

[Bertrand CHAUMELLE]

I don't care about Porter's opinion; he was one of the greatest  
songwriters, but Lena Horne was one of the greatest singers. her best  
work was from the mid-'fifties on. If you people don't like some of her  
clips available on Youtube, you'd better give up music as a hobby ;o)
