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.

Knowing that hundreds of thousands would NOT meet again is beyond grief. But it was a hope at the time that many a man carried to his grave.

The songs of WW2 that carried so many heavy hearts. She is a treasure.

My favorite song of hers:

Calling Me Home--Vera Lynn (1936)

That song could be an answer to this:
Old-Fashioned Lady--Vaughn De Leath (1929)

This thought-provoking tune should have been a hit. Although it didn't even chart, it's better than just about anything else that came out that came out that year.

In the Snow--Vera Lynn (1967)

On this tune, she's way out of character.

Hollywood Square Dance--Vera Lynn & Anne Shelton (1949)
