Celebrated jazz singer Lena Horne began her career at the Cotton Club in Harlem when she was only 16 years old. Her first show there headlined Cab Calloway and his band and kicked off an illustrious career that included associations with such legendary figures as Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, and Harry Belafonte and earned her a place among the great performers of jazz. In 1981, her electrifying one-woman show on Broadway, “Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music,” was honored with a special Tony Award.
