Does anyone know what stage shows, plays, Lena Horne has appeared in? Someone I know says she was in or toured oin "Follies", "Company" and others in the 60's...
I just joined this group. It says the moderator is "Ziegfield Girl". Is there such a person? I don't see "her" messages. Is there a moderator? Thanks. JJ...

Please don't get crazy on bidding for a program of The Lady and Her Music. I have many of them. Having said that I hope that I've not opened a can of worms....
J Melody, read carefully, I said PLAYBILLS not programs. For those of you who do not know, a PLAYBILL is a free small booklet/magazine handed out at theater...
Anybody want to answer any of my questions? I answered one for someon e else about movies. Another one is who is Mitali? I saw something in a search that said...
I just joined this group yesterday. Does anyone know how Lena was chosen for the co-starring role in "Death of a Gunfighter?" I figured they would've wanted a...
To J888oh, This is not a moderated group the way many other Yahoo groups are moderated. Anyone can join this group, anyone can post messages. A moderator does...
Re: J888oh's question As you may know, in the late 1960s-70s vocalists were pressured by their record companies to record "contemporary" music. I believe this...
To snoops71: Not my favorite film! A mediocre western that's only worth seeing because Lena Horne has a very small part in it – yes, a very small part even...
Lena Horne's daughter Gail Buckley's book that covers the history of the family is in print as a trade paperback, I think it has been for a year or so. I have...
Thanks for your recent posts. They have been insightful and informative. Do you know which Broadway production Lena Horne decided not to go through with in...
I have unearthed my copy of "The Hornes" and have been browsing it for a the last few days to refresh my memory of the history of the Hornes and of, in a...
Thanks! You've been very, very helpful and informative. Out of extreme curiousity, I can't wait to see it. Thanks again! Kelli ... a ... is ... the ... song ...
Rkoboy, I am sure you must have heard of this, or at least of the show: "Hallelujah, Baby", which ran about 10 months on Broadway in 1967-68. She did discuss...
Wanted to add a "Winner" album to the list, this would not really qualify as contemporary music like the other list provided but it's rare and very good and...
Thanks, Swimming56, for another informative and detailed post. I must tell the truth and confess that I knew nothing about "Hallelujah Baby" as a musical or...
Does anyone care to discuss Lena's only Christmas album, "Merry From Lena"? I regret that things were too hectic for me to discuss it during the Christmas...
Does anyone care to discuss the Black & White recordings Lena did in 1947. I recall that a poster named decca45 (I believe) discussed them in detail before,...
First time posting. Thanks for the opinions of those old records, I have never heard them discussed like that before and it was veryn helpful. I tend to buy...
Rkoboy, thanks for the feedback, but sometimes I think your mind is stuck in the 1940s! No, Lennie Hayton was not her manager at that time, that's an odd...
swimming56, I did not know the facts surrounding "Hallejuah, Baby" or the acrimony Lena's departure caused. It is good to hear that at some point in her life,...
I agree with you. Although she may not come out looking very good in the story, I think most people would feel for her decision on a personal level. The answer...
Well, its amazing how we learn someting new almost every day. I never realized that Comden and Green wrote "Hallelujah Baby" for Lena. It must make a very...
Everybody, thanks for all of this dishy info! Swim - thanks for your email. Now, the big question to Snoops71, did you ever see"Death of a Gunfighter"? What is...
Anyone know about Joyce Bryant? She was a probably black entertainer in the 1950s. I'm wondering where is it that's she living, or is she still alive? I'm a...
I have heard of Joyce Bryant and have always wanted to know more about her. A front page sensation in her heyday, she deliberately ran from the spotlight just...
