RIP Lena Horne

On Mother's Day 2010, we lost another one of the great icons who arose in the swing era, Lena Horne.  The weather is rainy in Memphis this morning, so I can think of no better tribute than her signature tune, from the 1943 movie of the same name, "Stormy Weather."  Yes, that is Cab Calloway leading the band.
