Vocal jazz might not be my cup of tea, but regardless of that I have to note that beautiful jazz singer Lena Horne died earlier this May. You can read her short but clever biography on Guardian and see her sing "Stormy Weather" on YouTube. It's from the early 40s.
She will be remembered not only for great, great voice, but also for astonishing beauty and taking the stand agains racial prejudice. May she rest in peace.
