    This was my great grandmother’s favorite movie and song. I just remember back in the late 80’s she was in her late 80’s, and she would sing this song around the house. Lena Horne really captured the essence of a broken heart. Stormy weather . I really missed you today listening to this song. 30 years since I’ve heard your voice, but I hear it in this song because it was your favorite. RIH grandma Sadie.

    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
    Since 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
    I walk around heavy-hearted and sad
    Night comes around and I'm still feeling bad
    Rain pouring down blinding every hope I had
    This pitterin', patterin', beatin' and spatterin'
    Drives me mad
    Love, love, love, love
    This misery is just too much for me
    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

      That's right. And it's both the mark of a great natural talent, AND of hard work so that the effort for perfection is not noticed. A very great artist,who has left her mark in the memory of people all over the world.Let's just remember that at the time of filming, a strict segregation between whites and blacks (...and mestizos) existed in the United States. White Europeans were suspicious of foreigners, especially if they were of another color... but this segregation never existed in Europe

    I saw her perform in Chicago in "71" at the Mill Run Theatre, which had a very intimate setting. Not a bad seat in the house.
