Quite a few people do. One of her "greatest hits" CD's was a bestseller not long ago.

When I attended some UCLA home games a few years ago, I was astounded to hear her 1939 hit We'll Meet Again played over the PA system when games concluded. I didn't know she was a Bruin fan.

Vera Lynn turned 95 not long ago. My favorite recording by her is Calling Me Home (1936).
