I love this woman. She’s a treasure.
“When the Lights Come On Again” slays me. Just beautiful.

Exactly. Compared to “The Blitz” this is a walk in the park.

Damn, she looks a number of decades younger and seems to still have it together.

The American lyricist, Nat Burton, wrote his lyric unaware that the bluebird is not indigenous to Britain and asked Kent to set it to music.

I love Vera Lynn. I have many of her WW2 Albums as well as the Vera Lynn Centennial album made to commemorate her 100th b’day. In this album all of her most popular hits were re arranged to include instrumental effects, mostly strings.
If you want to travel back in time to the days of WW2 just tune in to one of the many free Internet radio stations or one of the music services and punch up this Grand Dame who was so instrumental in helping the Brits through that time.

I LOVE Vera Lynn! I had no idea she was still with us.
