You came to me from out of nowhere
You took my heart and found it free
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere
Made every hour sweet as a flower for me

If you should go back to your nowhere
Leaving me with a memory
I`ll always wait for your return out of nowhere
Hoping you`ll bring your love to me

Fabulous. Teddy Wilson was as classy as it gets. Horne’s voice in this is just beautiful.

Perry Weiner

Her voice is beautiful here, pure and melodious--never better. And the musicians are first rate. The same ones who played behind Billie Holiday during the '30's!

I always loved Lena's beautiful singing voice, the songs she chose to sing, her movies and her style. She could wear anything and it looked glamorous on her. Her face, eyes, nose and mouth were so wonderfully sculptured. For the longest time I did not know she was black. She claimed to be black, but to me she was just a fabulous woman, with loads of talent, no matter her color. Thanks for sharing these CD's. . .SYLVIA! 11/2020
