I kind of liked her better “back then”, this Miss Horne
After watching that clip from the 1981 Tony Awards yesterday, I have to say that I think I prefer the Lena Horne from the 40s, 50s, and 60s more than the Lena Horne of the 80s and thereafter.
I don’t know what it is, something clearer and more pure about her voice, maybe?
Something less overdramatic with her movements, and more seductive with her tone?
Watch this clip where she sings “Love Me or Leave Me” and “The Eagle & Me” from 1965 and let me know what you think?
