If people didn't appreciate Horne already, they did when they heard her voice. Horne showed that her voice had a huge range. She sang different types of music that included blues and jazz, as well as relatively light songs, like "The Lady Is a Tramp" and "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered."

In the early 1970s, Horne lost her father, her son, and her husband. Filled with sadness, she withdrew. She refused to perform until friends coaxed her back into the spotlight.

Stepping back onto the stages of concert halls, she enjoyed a new wave of popularity.
