Lena Horne - Greatest Hits [RCA Victor] Original Release / RCA / 63692 All Music Guide Lena Horne had three separate stays on RCA Victor Records: The first in the 1940s, the second lasting from the mid- '50s into the early '60s, and the third in the mid- '70s. During these stints, she scored only one hit single, "Love Me or Leave Me" in 1955 -- a recording not included on this compilation. In 1943, she appeared in the film Stormy Weather, and for the rest of her career that 1933 hit was identified as her signature song. Actually, she had recorded it for RCA two years before she sang it on film, and that recording is included here. Otherwise, this is a sampler of her RCA recordings stretching over the '40s, '50s, and '60s, most of them standards from the pens of George and Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, and others. There is even one track from Horne's brief period as singer with Charlie Barnet & His Orchestra in early 1941. But the disc does not justify the title "Greatest Hits," and it is not a comprehensive collection of the highlights of Horne's RCA work. Rather, it is a discount-priced, 42-minute survey of that work that contains many excellent performances. But there's plenty more where this came from. 01 - I Got Rhythm 02 - Someone To Watch Over Me 03 - It's All Right With Me 04 - Stormy Weather 05 - What Is This Thing Called Love 06 - Get Out Of Town 07 - The Rules Of The Road 08 - Darn That Dream 09 - At Long Last Love 10 - You're My Thrill 11 - Let Me Love You 12 - Come On Strong 13 - Mad About The Boy 14 - One For My Baby

Miss Horne was my dad’s favourite lady and came to be mine as well. And she is one of the few who got better and better as she aged so gracefully, finally taking her last call at her peak. There was the end of a tv programme I caught (near the end of her career) where she sang a last song that I greedily taped (vhs) and lost that was magic. Some day I will come across that great performance. She was a tiger on stage that night.
