LENA HORNE: «STORMY WEATHER»

Há canções indelevelmente associadas à memória de um interprete. É o caso de «Stormy Weather» e de Lena Horne:



 


...e também a versão de  Billie Holiday


Don't know why There's no sun up in the sky Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time Life is bare Gloom and misery everywhere Stormy weather Just can't get my poor self together I'm weary all the time,The time So weary all the time When he went away The blues walked in and met me If he stays away Old rocking chair will get me All I do is pray The Lord above will let me Walk in the sun once more Can't go on Everything I had is gone Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time Keeps raining all the time When he went away The blues walked in and met me If he stays away Old rocking chair will get me All I do is pray The Lord above will let me Walk in the sun once more Can't go on Everything I had is gone Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time Keeps raining all the time

Etta James também tem uma versão muito própria; mas é menos sóbria do que a de Lena Horne:

Para completar o ramalhete de vozes e de versões notáveis:
Sarah Vaughan, no máximo das suas capacidades expressivas...
