I remember when this album first came out on vinyl, it was a blast. And hearing about Lena's career, coping with racial bias, her unique rendition of Oklahoma's Surrey With A Fringe On Top (still my favourite) and her life with her beloved Lenny.
Finally it was released on CD and my cup runneth over.
And about Lena the singer. I first saw her when watching the Dean Martin Show as a kid, and was struck by her natural talent. Dean helped a lot of singers in their careers, and a new generation of baby boomers saw unforgettable talent we would otherwise have missed.
She knows how to interpret songs in her own unique way, phrases thenm like no other, and brings a different interpretation to each song so that the SONG may be the same, but the nuance is all Lena Hornes.
She is one of that exclusive club - the Best of the Best. I dips me lid. September 26, 2007

There are no other words to describe this recording. Absolutely stunning. I saw the show when it was on Broadway and it remains one of the most thrilling experiences I have ever had in the theatre. This recording captures the experience perfectly. Let's all hope that the powers that be will eventually release a DVD of this show (it was captured live and distributed for a short while in the early 80's on video). November 13, 2006

This magnificent one woman Broadway Show (over a year on B'way, 44 city tour - US & Canada & UK) is perfectly captured in this 2 CD set. Lena's voice had most all of it's luster at age 65 and her performance shows she was enjoying herself as much as the audience. Her best singing on records has always been Live and this CD is one of her very very best. She has commented many times that "Yesterday When I Was Young" is the most autobiographical song she ever sang. Another reviewer here missed the point when he wrote "Listen to track 20 and you will hear a story teller that over the decades has turned into a musican (with the help of her late husband Lennie Hayton)" Lena had several very important mentors, the most important was composer Billy Strayhorn. She was required to boost the importance of her husband in her musical development in the 1950s. Listen to the LYRICS of that song, look at the circumstances, do the math. July 18, 2004

Don't ask why, just buy it. It's one of her best, 5 stars is not enough! December 5, 2003

The Grammy-winning album from the legendary singer/actress/beauty is, by far, one of the best live performances ever. Miss Horne is in fine form, presenting a history lesson of her groundbreaking career. She sings her trademark songs, as well as those that illustrate highlights of the life led in entertainment. The musicians backing her never overshadow her voice; they complement each other superbly.
