Man, she was big time when I was a kid. She'd had a rough time during the red scare\McCarthyism years (she was one of many Hollywood stars who were blacklisted as communists), but bounced back nicely with her recording career.

I admit my introduction to her was through an episode of The Cosby Show.

RIP, Ms. Horne.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

didn't you ever watch Sesame Street?    She was on there multiple times.

I did, but that was a really long time ago.  I can't recall if I ever saw her on there or not.  Probably did, just didn't recognize the importance.
