Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
I have a couple of CDs of her greatest hits.
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”.
I REMEMBER HER AND SHE SINGING ON BRITISH BROADCASTS INTO NEW YORK CITY. I WAS 14 AT THE TIME
Dame Vera Lynn, DBE (born Vera Margaret Welch on 20 March 1917),[1] widely known as “The Forces’ Sweetheart
Remember how she said we would meet again some sunny day?
Well, that day is here!
Vera! Vera! What has become of you?
Remember how she said that we would meet again
Some sunny day...
Vera Lynn took a highly dangerous trip to Burma in 1944 to entertain British troops there. She chose the site deliberately, because she felt that troops fighting in CBI were a ‘forgotten army’.
Straight-up heroine. God bless her.

That’s exactly what ran through my mind when I read the title. I would never have known about her, but for the Pink Floyd song. It made me look her up.
I have her songs on my smartphone. I like all kinds of music.
