A Tribute to Dame Vera Lynn

September 1, 2009

Thanks to Weaverman for the following uplifting news:

Here is news that will stir the hearts of true Englishmen where ‘ere they be. Dame Vera Lynn, who earned the nickname “The forces sweetheart” because of her tireless work as an entertainer for the Allied troops during World War II and such timeless hits as WE’LL MEET AGAIN and THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER has gone into the record books as the oldest person ever to enter the album charts. With the 70th Anniversary of the outbreak of World War II looming (sorry Cerpts but you Yanks will have to wait a couple of years) Dame Vera’s album WE’LL MEET AGAIN – THE BEST OF VERA LYNN has entered the charts at No.20. Of course, these days, political correctness frowns on anything approaching patriotism but once again ordinary people have shown where their heart is. Well done, Dame Vera.

Indeed, Weaverman, well done Dame Vera.
