Seriously? OMG! WTF?

The woman whose voice was as beautiful as she was has been silenced. Lena Horne passed away yesterday at the age of 92 according to The NY Times. The singer/actress broke grounds as the first African-American performer to be signed to a long-term contract by a movie studio and that studio was MGM. She is best known for singing Stormy Weather in the movie of the same title as the song. But those of us from a younger generation will remember her from The Wiz or The Cosby Show. I personally was introduced to her on Sanford and Son, so take 22 minutes and remember the legend by watching her in the above episode.
Side note: The last few seconds of that episode is great way to say goodbye to her, so make sure to watch it all the way through.
