Musical Interlude: How about some Lena? Her last recording session (although there's talk that another happened) gave us some gems. Sure, her voice wasn't what it once was, but she still had attitude and her voice and delivery reflected her experience. Here's a delightful Cole Porter song.
"It's All Right with Me," performed by Lena Horne.

Musical Interlude: Today is Lena Horne's birthday, so here's a track from her I love, one of the last tracks she recorded. You can sense the effect of aging here...but at the same time, she's still unmistakably Lena.
"Imagination," performed by Lena Horne.

Musical Interlude: Here's a fun song from one of my all-time favorites... This was originally featured in the film CABIN IN THE SKY but was cut...some say it was because the scene where the singer performed while in a bubble bath was too suggestive, but some also feel the lyrics were just too much for the time period. It was later recycled for the musical JAMAICA.
"Ain't It the Truth?" performed by Lena Horne.

Musical Interlude: Yesterday was this great lady's birthday, so I'll honor her a bit late with a charming performance. And a song that doesn't get enough credit for encouraging people to be themselves and express themselves.
"Sing," performed by Lena Horne and the Muppets.

Celebrating with Philippe Halsmann's Jump series: The Women
“In a jump, the subject, in a sudden burst of energy, overcomes gravity. He cannot simultaneously control his expressions, his facial and his limb muscles. The mask falls. The real self becomes visible. One has only to snap it with the camera,”
