Lena Horne (30 June 1917 – 9 May 2010) was an American singer, dancer, actress, and civil rights activist.

These concerts were represented as Horne's farewell tour, yet her retirement lasted less than a year. - Wikipedia
Lena Horne, whose long career
Of sixty years or better,
Proved that if you persevere
And if you’re a go-getter,
You can work to ripe old age
In nightclubs and on vinyl,
And even proved the final page
Is really not so final.
