Horne will be remembered by Henson fans for her guest appearance on The Muppet Show and her memorable performance of "The ABC Song" on Sesame Street.

Or "How Do You Do?" with Grover.

I also remember the episode of SANFORD AND SON where Fred made a bet with his buddies that he could get her to drop by their house, so he snuck into her dressing room while she was appearing on a local NBC show, and got her to drop by by convincing her that Lamont was a little kid who was physically lame, and really loves her because she reminds him of his mother.

But once again, she's another one I thought was dead for a while now, so I'm sorry to hear about this.

LENA: (Kisses Grover)
GROVER: Oh! Gee, you're a nice lady... and a good kisser too!
LENA: (Laughs) A good kisser!

She was such a talented singer, and amazing actress. Truly one of the greatest performers of time. I'll always remember her as the best Glinda in "The Wiz"

This is the day she was gone and I thought she died this year? What was I thinking? She was a great singer and she is still part of our childhoods. RIP, Lena!
