Vera Lynn was a wonderful and remarkable woman. Part of the Greatest Generation. And I don’t think we’ll see anyone like her again. Because should any lady try to sing a patriotic song these days...well, you know the rest.

Her type are definitely out of stock.
She not only sang the songs the people loved, she traveled to Egypt, India and Burma entertaining the troops.
I can’t see any of todays “stars” doing the same.
Vera performed just this year at the 75th VE Day anniversary celebration.
In 2017, when she was 100 years old, she released the album Vera Lynn 100 which rose to #3 on the English music charts. Vera was the first centenarian to crack the top 10.
Quite the lady that Vera.
