Recently we all had to say goodbye to one of the great gifts in the world of Art, Miss Lena Horne. To digest her passing for me is a moment of a loss so tremendous, that we who have had careers, know, that it was because of men and women of her excellence. We truly stand on her shoulders.
My personal moment with Miss Horne was brief but absolutely magical. On tour with The Wiz (National Co.) in Los Angeles, Miss Horne attended our show; I was starring as Mr. Wiz at the time. She came to my dressing room and paid me one of the finest compliments I've ever received: that because of my rendition of the song "If You Believe." she had to record it. We all remember her film version of this song. All I can say is: "There'll never be another like her." I'm truly saddened at The Loss of an Icon.
