My late husband, John Early saw her live in San Francisco in 1980. Fabulous!!!!

She was 50 years old here! Wow!!

Why is it that hardly anyone ever recorded Lena’s early nightclub shows, or live performances in her early years !!! It’s even rare to find these Hollywood palace performances of hers! Just imagine all the tunes she sang, that we never got to hear

Not really sure what you mean....she really started performing as a singer in the 1940s, and short of performances in films, most concerts or live club performances were not videotaped because of the expense and cumbersome nature of filming outside of the film studio setting. However, there are many filmed performances of her in the age of television.

from THE HOLLYWOOD PALACE on September 19 1967.

When I was in the 3rd Grade, at 6th Ave. School in Los Angeles, I saw her at a PTA meeting. She had her son in the 6th grade, at the time. She wore her hair in 2 buns, and no makeup...lovely, kind, and gracious. I won't forget her. If there's ever a film of her life, I nominate Alicia Keyes to portray her.

Grandísima voz de siempre, maravillosa versión del clasico "Stormy Weather".

MY MISS HORNE LOVE HER

I'll take her awesome 40s film version as definitive. For me, nothing compares.

Great, keep em' coming!

R.I.P

RIP

Thanks for putting it up, but I think she could perform at this level while counting the exit signs. She knew what she was doing, and she's doing it. It's just fine, but I don't get definitive.

"Bitch get us outta this please" 😁

she was some pretty sight to see every old guy wants to date her avd I wanted to be her

naw Cab Calloway did it better
