Due to the Red Scare and her left-leaning political views, Horne found herself blacklisted and unable to get work in Hollywood.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturning to her roots as a nightclub performer, Horne took part in the March on Washington in August 1963, and continued to work as a performer, both in nightclubs and on television, while releasing well-received record albums. She announced her retirement in March 1980, but the next year starred in a one-woman show, Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music, which ran for more than three hundred performances on Broadway and earned her numerous awards and accolades. She continued recording and performing sporadically into the 1990s, disappearing from the public eye in 2000.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Lena+Horne","playStationPath":"/stations/113263883/play","stationId":113263883,"bioPath":"/music/Lena+Horne/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Johnny+Mercer","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/65d/65d72adea45273ddcb6d977335807cb1_md.jpg","artistName":"Johnny Mercer","artistId":78707,"station_id":280171352},{"musicPath":"/music/Jack+Jones","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f06/f06531545277e96a1697d1c25bb23087_md.jpg","artistName":"Jack Jones","artistId":1386,"station_id":113387543},{"musicPath":"/music/Holly+Cole","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/517/5172d808873e203c93e6ba5f60148a14_md.jpg","artistName":"Holly Cole","artistId":6413,"station_id":114430795},{"musicPath":"/music/Lisa+Ekdahl","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2dc/2dc7e1bcbb5c2852b8b60b8bc320463a_md.jpg","artistName":"Lisa Ekdahl","artistId":2600,"station_id":113446760},{"musicPath":"/music/Wayne+Newton","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/66a/66aa01264802ab48f9d311d1935eddf9_md.jpg","artistName":"Wayne Newton","artistId":1708,"station_id":113332069},{"musicPath":"/music/Marilyn+Monroe","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e44/e442b40fc447944c40815585ce1354ba_md.jpg","artistName":"Marilyn Monroe","artistId":841,"station_id":113402261},{"musicPath":"/music/Benny+Goodman","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/272/272666cfded270159f361b1ef2d719df_md.jpg","artistName":"Benny Goodman","artistId":154,"station_id":113295345},{"musicPath":"/music/Cassandra+Wilson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/906/90661bbd5fd66ae41a00f93172f51b45_md.jpg","artistName":"Cassandra Wilson","artistId":5223,"station_id":113292995},{"musicPath":"/music/June+Christy","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/22d/22de1f4d452dc731745df0e7120b906a_md.jpg","artistName":"June Christy","artistId":8259,"station_id":113534668},{"musicPath":"/music/Stan+Kenton","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d3f/d3f22768433f63acebbd880888037657_md.jpg","artistName":"Stan Kenton","artistId":14179,"station_id":114512914},{"musicPath":"/music/Madeleine+Peyroux","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ffb/ffb0f065515a42c10bb50cdcb1acc84c_md.jpg","artistName":"Madeleine Peyroux","artistId":10193,"station_id":113269900},{"musicPath":"/music/Lionel+Hampton","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c7a/c7a49670f9124600fdde27f099080641_md.jpg","artistName":"Lionel Hampton","artistId":250281,"station_id":360171986},{"musicPath":"/music/Dee+Dee+Bridgewater","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7ef/7ef0ae667fd76915ad6cde84c5b7f695_md.jpg","artistName":"Dee Dee Bridgewater","artistId":13188,"station_id":114267763},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Andrews+Sisters","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4d6/4d62260cfbd3012f5a6e3ab2122f5d30_md.jpg","artistName":"The Andrews Sisters","artistId":8077,"station_id":113295561},{"musicPath":"/music/Mildred+Bailey","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/16d/16d8f7bd80a74f8b19690139bd92f348_md.jpg","artistName":"Mildred Bailey","artistId":7474,"station_id":113946379},{"musicPath":"/music/Ernestine+Anderson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8e5/8e50e5ef3683af3566b3425c1ed5439b_md.jpg","artistName":"Ernestine Anderson","artistId":3703,"station_id":113741933},{"musicPath":"/music/Stacey+Kent","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e49/e492448a8d68e8127d06512edbf4d1a0_md.jpg","artistName":"Stacey Kent","artistId":56658,"station_id":260032659},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Boswell+Sisters","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/311/3114f14de733aa8778cbfa96e7c2caec_md.jpg","artistName":"The Boswell Sisters","artistId":13234,"station_id":113712963}]}
