If not for that damn rock and roll she’d still be on top of the charts!

Reading just the headline I was thinking it was new recordings at first...

Yes. Beautiful voice. I particularly like “Auf Wiedersehn, Sweetheart”

The name is familiar and I have seen a couple of her songs on Youtube but I don’t remember much about her.
Of course I have hear “White Cliffs of Dover” and also she did a nice version of “Lili Marlene”.

97? So she’s about the age of the great Bobby Goldsborough!

Glad to hear she’s still out and around and apparently doing well, despite her advanced age. I can’t think of many vocalists from her era (dating to pre-WW2) still alive. Well, maybe Bea Wain. And I guess, Baby Rose Marie, although I don’t think she cut too many records in the 30s.
Not entirely sure to the extent of Lynn’s fame and recognition in the United States. Probably somewhat akin to Gracie Fields status, I’d guess. Meaning Americans were pretty aware of them both, but it was in their home country where their stardom was overwhelming and massive.

How many people under the age of 50 would even know the name if it weren’t for Pink Floyd?
