She was popular during WWII.

“White Cliffs Of Dover”, She also did a nice version of “Lile Marlene”.

On Vera Lynn's 100th birthday, a 300-foot image of her face was projected onto the White Cliffs of Dover. A CD of her greatest hits, remastered, was also released on that day.

In "Hollywood Square Dance," her 1949 release, which I posted earlier, she sounded like an Appalachian hillbilly, which was way, way, way out of character for her. Let's Harmonize on the flip side, is also kind of weird--and it's the only one of her songs in which her name is mentioned.

Here's my all-time favorite Vera Lynn song:

Calling Me Home (1936)
