Passing of Lena Horne

Lena Horne -- legendary singer, dancer and actress -- dies at age 92 in a New York hospital.

Her magnificent voice will live on. I remember seeing her live around 1970 (I was a kid) and just being overwhelmed by her magnetism and talent.

A sad day but she saw changes that no one could have predicted -- the idea of a black President would have seemed a fantasy -- she was born to a world where racial lynching was still a major issue.
