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

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.

<Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?

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.
