That deserved a standing ovation. Lena commandeered that stage. That is being at the center of your power and knowing yourself..

It was 1981...when a standing ovation still meant something. (These days, just about everybody gets a standing O.)

As a teenager growing up outside NYC, I was fascinated by the commercials for this show and finally took myself to see it when it hit Washington, DC two years later. Even after doing it pretty much nonstop for two years, Horne was electrifying. Almost four decades and more concerts than I can count later, I still rank it as one of the top 3-4 live performances I've ever seen.

She was from New York but was proud of her Southern heritage. She never forgot the struggle even while enjoying the success. That accent, like a Southern Belle who is proud to be from the South..and was not afraid of being black. That persona was saying, “It took 50 years, I earned it and have the battle scars to prove it. I believed I could even when no one else believed.”

It is understandable. They were so MESMERIZED by that BEAUTY, that dammit they were FROZEN for a moment! HELL, my mouth falls to the floor every single time I STARE at this woman! LENA HORNE IS/WAS quite possibly the MOST NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL woman that has walked this EARTH! The audience should be forgiven for the delayed reaction.

Lena Horne's beauty was so rare that she was actually a freak of nature. The audience was spell bound. Eventually, the entire audience stood up and paid homage to her rare beauty.

I think Ms. Horne’s southern voice was part of her appeal. I dare say I felt a similar way listening to Bette Davis at times. But I don’t understand why I don’t hear her any trace of her NY accent. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t change a thing. RIP Lena
