Lena Horne was born on June 30, 1917 and was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. In 1942 she was the first black woman to sign a meaningful long-term contract with a major studio. The contract stated that she would NEVER have to play a maid. She's assisted greatly in breaking down barriers for woman of color in Hollywood. An extraordinary actress, musician, and activist- Horne died at the age of 92 on May 9 at the New York-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City as an icon.
Rest In Paradise Miss Horne.
Peace & Blessings (Ng)

Prisoner of Love
Alone from night to night you'll find me
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
I need no shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisoner of love
For one command I stand and wait now
From one who's master of my fate now
I can't escape it's much too late now
I'm just a prisoner of love
What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms with me
Although he has another, I can't have another for I'm not free
He's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to him I'm creeping
My very soul is in his keeping
I'm just a prisoner of love
