"Lena's a powerful force of our history and legacy. She showed courage and tenacity during a tumultuous time, reminding us all that our journey on earth is meant to make an impact. Her journey surely did, and she broke down many barriers in the process. But it's Lena, the woman, the human being that is the most fascinating to me: her vulnerabilities, her life, her flow through the many difficult times (and good ones) and her ability to remain graceful, elegant and beautiful always. What a special, phenomenal woman. I will miss her."
--Twelve-time Grammy Award-winning singer Alicia Keys remembering late performer and actress Lena Horne.

Alicia Keys is wise beyond her years. Excellent comment Alicia. Lena would be proud of you also.

If AK was/is wise beyond her years why was she dating, having sex, and now is pregnant by a married man?

my love goes out to Lena may you rest in peace.
when she song her song in the Wiz, she made me to believe in myself on how she sung that song. I was just talking about her before she died about her in the movie the wiz. You will be missed and your legacy will live on.

Is there not another celebrity that could you could have used as a notable quotable? Lena Horne was indeed a talented and beautiful woman. I'm sure that she wasn't destroying marriages and sleeping with married men as Alicia Keys has done.

@yonni I agree. I amso disappointed in AK. & so are her fans as her cd is selling as well as her apst cds. She dated a married man, and is pregnant by him. & the engagement..stupid! If he cheatd on M & their son Kaseem with you AK, what makes you think that he wont cheat on you & the child you have?
