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

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]

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.

She was so popular during the WW2. Young ladies at that time sang Stormy Weather to forget that war was destroying their lives.

(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

[@leumamk5259]

To have that vocal talent and yet not consider herself a singer shows how high the bar was back then when it comes ro singing. Nowadays people who can't do abosultly nothing with their sh*tty voices have the nerve to call themselves singers.

[@katbird5775]

​​​@@leumamk5259 yep, all they have to do now is gyrate sexually and be half naked and sing about their trashy sex life. It's sad and disgusting and an insult to the classy and amazing and truly talented people of color like Ms. Horne, who actually opened so many doors for them by what she went through and fought to do back then. My opinion, anyway.
