Ain' It De Truth" Lena Horne sings a song that suggests living it up while you can.
Lena Horne and Harold Arlen had a long professional and personal relationship going back to the Cotton Club in the 1930's. Originally written for the 1943 film, Cabin In The Sky, the song was considered too risque. It was later showcased in the 1957 musical Jamaica, a star vehicle for Lena Horne.
This is a saucy and irreverent song sung by a liberated woman with an infectious rhythm and swing.
