had a co-starring role in the film “Stormy Weather.” She had to sing the title tune but she was loath to do so because she considered it Ethel Water’s song. Lena had trouble singing the song. She sang the gut-wrenching lament as though she were a naïve schoolgirl.

But 40 years later, in her show in , “The Lady and Her Music,” Lena laid it out there for all to see and hear.Lena now understood Stormy Weather. She’d lived it.
