[@michaelgaynor6866]

Beauty and Class.....Lena Horne!

[@terrenceragin5555]

She was a true legend. What a wonderful tribute

[@dennismclaurin1487]

Amen.

[@vintageincolor]

She’s so refined, elegant, strong and beautiful. This was a touching tribute and her happiness was palpable

[@menukjau]

The Golden age of Kennedy Centre Honors, all the honorees were LEGENDS.

[@apostleladyk2002]

GRACEFUL! ELEGANT! AND ALWAYS A LADY! SHE WAS MY GRANDMOTHER’S FAVORITE SINGER AND INSPIRATION! #LegendaryLena💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@williamelgin6873]

I saw Lena Horne and The Lady and her Music at Tanglewood on a Labor Day weekend in the early 1980s. It was unquestionably the finest musical performance I have ever attended. Just her, alone on the stage, with the musicians, telling her story. No spinning the message, truth from her heart.

[@terrenceragin5555]

She was stunning and talented. Breathtakingly beautiful. She opened the doors for many. Because she would like it and looked almost like she could open doors the other blacks who were of Darker Hue could not open in Hollywood and the entertainment industry

[@TheJazzlady40]

Ms Horne was the quintessential black woman nobody can touch her we love ya Lena R.I.P our black show business queen.

LENA HORNE AWARD A MUST SEE

[@morehouse01]

she was really taking it in, well deserved...

[@19832006]

Damn her son was fine! This is a great tribute to her rest in peace ms. horne!

[@myfathersprincess]

How come MAMA Lena looked younger than daughter Dionne!!! I miss you LENA! Wish I had the blessing to meet you.

[@direfranchement]

She didn’t look younger than Dionne. Silly.

[@nr30199]

I completely agree with you ♥️

[@arlenecerf8833]

She didn’t looked younger than Dionne. Plus Dionne was nearly 45 here.

[@ericholck3914]

Starting from a very young age, I tried to see as many of the truly "great" singers in concert as possible (i.e., Frank, Ella, Tony, Sarah, Peggy, Carmen, etc., as well as the major artists of the next generation, such as Aretha, Diana, Barbra, etc.) Of all of those performances, Horne's "The Lady and Her Music" is, hands down, the one show I would most like to go back in time and see again. She was electrifying. I've never seen a performer captivate an audience the way she did.

[@tinaturner3624]

You... better..... walk!! Dionne Warwick ❤️❤️❤️

[@arlenecerf8833]

Still going strong at 83 today!!!!

[@over50andfantabulous59]

The definition of elegance.

[@ormandy]

A timeless inspiration for us all !!!

[@CharloCrossley]

She was the most beautiful woman and singer of extraordinary talent and grace! Sweet and sassy!!❤️❣️💯✨💋🌸

[@oucutie1]

Lena Horne. What a beauty!

[@DanielFrazier-p7z]

Was she a beauty because she was real light and undeniable class act

[@barbee0715]

I got to see her in concert in the early 80's-really amazing singer. I'm lucky I got to see her.

[@maxwilson4748]

A true classic. Thanks for posting.

[@nr30199]

The lady was 67 years old here.😍😍😍😍 the forever beautiful Lena Horne.

[@arlenecerf8833]

And Ms Warwick was nearly 45 here and still going strong today at 83!! Plus She’s about to receive her long due Kennedy award this December of 2023

[@MozeyB2]

Wow I didn't know all that happened to her in 13 months, so sad. 😢

[@waluyadimas4955]

Good to see you here James. Love from all of us.

[@lovejangie1]

Ms. Horne was a legendary hardworking performer and trailblazer for many! God bless her and others who paved the way!

[@vwsmusic]

[@vwsmusic]

Thank you so much for posting this tribute. I was so sorry to have missed the original, but this certainly makes up for that. Many thanks.

[@jclark21218]

For the longest time, i didn't see resemblance between Whitney and Dionne. But looking at this clip, Dionne is giving me Greatest Love of all teas and I'm here for it.

[@josephadiaz8343]

Her voice was beautiful, she was so classy, her looks and her style were out of this gorgeous. There will never be another Lena Horn ♥️♥️♥️😊

[@josephadiaz8343]

Out of this world gorgeous 😍😊😂 oops

[@richardbullis156]

Horne.

[@suzettebennett2564]

Horne

[@n.purooosai4481]

This video just made me cry. I love Lena so much, I wish I could've met her. She deserves far more than this, she didn't receive enough credit in this lifetime. But believe me one day she will. At least she's with her Father, and husband, and her son

[@paulocesarmoreto1081]

Um dos grandes nomes do jazz, sem dúvidas!!!

[@teresavale2517]

Where is the Musical Tribute???

[@kevingreen3775]

Baby Dionne walked

[@arlenecerf8833]

Well she wasn’t that much of a baby here - she was already 44 in here turning 45.. she became a first time grandma in 5 years (1989)

[@imusinthemorning]

Do you have the performances from this tribute?

[@RonCarterBassist]

🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@SibGirl01]

Do you have the musical tribute?

[@jillianryan]

Who performed for her?

[@teeizhot]

My goodness, if Dionne and Whitney don't favor...wow.

[@terrencemalbrough1173]

What year is this?

[@randyslovacek]

The Kennedy Center honored Lena Horne, and broadcast this tribute, in 1984.

[@MrBrown-mw9il]

Alicia Keys for the BIO

[@vallerysaintelus5965]

I'm still waiting for her biopic. I can see Alicia Keys playing her.

[@tbam73]

Absolutely not

[@megankumamoto3645]

1:03

[@hellokittyy9646]

they put so much brown makeup on her....white pastie on the others to pass as lighter....

[@newsandviews2009]

my great Image of Lena from 1997 ..( just google ) kingkongphoto123 Enjoy if you need to publish it...contact me first.

[@geecollins4915]

Alicia Keys favor Lena Horne

[@nr30199]

I think there was talk about Alicia playing her in a biopic about her life. I guess it never came to be.

[@whatigot2say]

Leana is one who truly deserved this award.. sad dionne will never receive one.. why was Jacko mentioned with all the other black female artists? Jacko was such a queen.

[@meboneme1]

+whatigot2say ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?! OR JUST JEALOUS! WHAT A BITCH YOU ARE!

[@milesclarke4204]

+whatigot2say u were being a ass!!

[@ponnxamrealista3740]

whatigot2say im wondering, why cant dionne be honored?

[@jclark21218]

It's not about being a queen, it's about influence. MJ was mentioned because he's just as legendary as the other ARTISTS named and his success would not have been possible without Lena Horne. Glad we had this talk.

[@richardbullis156]

Lena

[@whatigot2say]

Time has not been kind to dionne's voice, face, or career.

[@milesclarke4204]

what are you talking shut the fuck up

[@Ronald-hx5ob]

Dionne is still a classy lady

[@johnfd0210]

At least she had a voice, face, and career...more than you can say.

[@arlenecerf8833]

More than you have definitely.. the lady was 44 here and still is going strong at 83 years old today!!!
