This was my great grandmother’s favorite movie and song. I just remember back in the late 80’s she was in her late 80’s, and she would sing this song around the house. Lena Horne really captured the essence of a broken heart. Stormy weather . I really missed you today listening to this song. 30 years since I’ve heard your voice, but I hear it in this song because it was your favorite. RIH grandma Sadie.

[@davidfieldsjr1984]

This is my favorite version of this song. I wish I could have heard your great grandma sing it. I'll bet it was lovely, thanks for sharing a beautiful memory.

[@bibblesbay3812]

Don't know why There's no sun up in the sky Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time Life is bare Gloom and misery everywhere Stormy weather Just can't get my poor self together I'm weary all the time The time So weary all the time Since he went away, the blues walked in and met me If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me All I do is pray the Lord above will let me Walk in the sun once more Can't go on Everything I had is gone Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time Keeps raining all the time I walk around heavy-hearted and sad Night comes around and I'm still feeling bad Rain pouring down blinding every hope I had This pitterin', patterin', beatin' and spatterin' Drives me mad Love, love, love, love This misery is just too much for me Can't go on Everything I had is gone Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time Keeps raining all the time

My Dad’s tongue would drag on the ground whenever she was singing and my Mom would tease him about it every time but there’s no doubt that this Lady is special and talented beyond measure

Apparently Duke Ellington's favorite singer was a little known genius called Ivie Anderson. She sings this tune in an old clip with the Duke on piano and before seeing this Lena Horne clip that rendition of Stormy Weather was my favorite. Lena has now taken the spot!!

(26F) I just heard this on the radio the other day & was blown away. When I looked her up it amazed me her face stays SO composed while singing! It’s like she’s not even trying to hit these marvelous notes. Beautiful lady & voice. Sounds like honey to my ears

[@marie-francoisedehareng4274]

That's right. And it's both the mark of a great natural talent, AND of hard work so that the effort for perfection is not noticed. A very great artist,who has left her mark in the memory of people all over the world.Let's just remember that at the time of filming, a strict segregation between whites and blacks (...and mestizos) existed in the United States. White Europeans were suspicious of foreigners, especially if they were of another color... but this segregation never existed in Europe

[@barryandreev8333]

That's right, Black American soldiers felt more at home in France than they did in their own country during WWI.

Man film is such a great medium. This clip is nearly 80 years old, and the picture is so pristine.

It's DVD quality, and quite soft. If they transferred it to 2K using the original 35mm film, it would look much better.

Beautiful both Lena & Cab's Orch. I rented & then bought the whole movie on VHS; hard to believe it was over 30 yrs. ago. If you have a chance to see the movie "Stormy Weather", it's a wonderful experience. Plus you'll know why Fred Sanford was crazy about Lena Horne.

[@kellymccain3403]

As I sit here in 2021 listening to the angelic voice of Lena Horne it bothers me that according to my grandmother, this beautiful woman had to suffer horrendous discrimination during the prime of her career. It's really sad when you stop and think about it.
