Here's the full version of a performance that can be found truncated elsewhere on YouTube -- from the 1943 film of the same name, the great Lena Horne delivers a sizzling performance of her signature song. (I wish I had the full dance that follows it, which includes some amazing ballet. If anyone has a full-length version, please post it or get in touch with me!)

Lena Horne singing "All The Way".

Lena Horne was born in Brooklyn New York in June 30 1917. As a teenager family financial difficulties forced Lena to quit school and obtain a position as a chorus dancer at the Cotton Club in Harlem. She was hired for her beauty, but she worked diligently to improve her singing and became known for her sultry voice. In 1934, Horne accepted a role on Broadway and afterwards left to sing with Noble Sissle's Society Orchestra in Philadelphia. Lena Horne left New York to perform at the Trocadero Club in California. Within a short time, she signed a Hollywood movie contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She insisted her contract stipulate that she would not be cast in stereotypical black roles, and with her elegance and glamour, she became known for transforming the image of the black woman in film. Her first role in 1942, like many that followed, was only a guest spot number in Panama Hattie, but the same year she played a leading part in Cabin in the Sky. In 1943 she was in three films: I Dood It, Thousands Cheer, and Stormy Weather, the title song of which became her trademark. It was on the set of Stormy Weather. She appeared in Two Girls and a Sailor (1944), Broadway Rhythm (1944), Ziegfeld Follies of 1945 and 1946, The Duchess of Idaho (1950) and Meet Me in Las Vegas (1956). Lena also starred in the Broadway show Jamaica (1957) and appeared on several television shows in the 1970s. Horne won many honors for her performances. She won a Grammy for the album based on her awardwinning show Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music that began in 1981 and became the longest running one-woman show in Broadway history. In addition to the Kennedy Center Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts (1984), Horne received an honorary doctorate from Howard University as well as an Image Award and Spingarn Medal from the NAACP.

Lena Horne really delivers on a reprise of her classic "Stormy Weather" in a medley with her latter-day anthem "If You Believe" from the musical 'The Wiz'. Superb!

Medley with Lena Horne on Dean's Variety Show

Orfeo has been allowed to bring back his wife from Hades as long as he does not look upon her face until they are back on earth. However, urged by Euridice, he turns around and looks at her and she immediately dies. Grief-stricken, he wonders what he will ever do without his love. Che farò senza Euridice? Dove andrò senza il mio ben? Euridice, o Dio, rispondi! Io son pure il tuo fedele. Euridice! Ah, non m´avanza più soccorso, più speranza ne dal mondo, ne dal ciel. Translation What will I do without Euridice? Where will I go without my beloved? Euridice, oh God, answer me! Yet I still belong to you faithfully. Euridice! Ah, no help comes to me anymore, No hope anymore, Neither from this world, nor from heaven.

A live performance of the 1998 single 'Shut Up/Kiss Me' by Paul McDermott & Fiona Horne. Fiona was the lead singer of the band DEF FX and Australia's best known and sexiest witch during the 1990s. Paul McDermott started out in the Canberra group the Doug Anthony All Stars (DAAS). I actually saw DAAS busking in Garema Place in central Canberra back in the early 80s. It was just before Christmas and it was funny to see all the people crowded around religious plays and nativity scenes suddenly turn their backs on these to watch the All Stars. Even back them you could tell they were something special. Links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McDermott_(comedian) http://www.fionahorne.com/ Lyrics: I was caught by your smile under a blushing moon, You were the only one left there. Words poured like wine over an open wound, You were the only one left there. With sky-borne blue-grey eyes, Sky-borne blue-grey eyes. Pale light falls over a broken bed, You were the only one left there. Cold hands in mine, lips bruised and black, You were the only one left there. With sky-borne blue-grey eyes, Sky-borne blue grey eyes. Shut up and kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me now, I have been patient my patience is gone. Shut up and kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me now, All of my vision has blurred into one. Just Shut up, just shut up, just shut up and kiss me now. The cool of the night fell on us like a ghost, You were the only one left there. I wept as a child, wept for the life I'd lost, You were the only one left there. With sky-borne blue-grey eyes, Sky-borne blue-grey eyes (Shut up and kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me), Sky-borne blue-grey eyes (Shut up and kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me), Sky borne blue-grey eyes. Shut up and kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me now, I have been patient my patience is gone. Shut up and kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me now, All of my vision has blurred into one. Just Shut up, just shut up, just shut up and kiss me, Just Shut up, just shut up, just shut up and kiss me, Just Shut up, just shut up, just shut up and kiss me now.
