Swinging Lena Horne is an album that showcases the remarkable talent of Lena Horne. The album features a collection of jazz standards that are given a fresh and vibrant interpretation by Horne's soulful voice. The arrangements are lively and upbeat, and Horne's delivery is flawless. The album is a testament to Horne's versatility as a performer, and her ability to infuse every note with emotion and personality. The standout tracks on the album include the swinging "Just Squeeze Me", the hauntingly beautiful "Stormy Weather", and the playful "Honeysuckle Rose".

About Lena Horne
Lena Horne (born June 30, 1917, Brooklyn, New York, USA died May 9, 2010, Manhattan, New York, USA) was an American singer, actress, dancer and civil rights activist who, in 1942, became the first African-American performer to be put under contract by a major studio. She fought with first lady Eleanor Roosevelt to pass anti-lynching laws. The combination of Hornes disarming talent and fierce individuality created a powerful force in breaking down racial barriers in Hollywood and beyond.
