On TV 26: Vera Lynn ~ We'll Meet Again

~ 



Vera Lynn died today; she was 103 years old. I remember the songs she sang during the war, World War II, that is. Her songs were meant to inspire and boost moral for the war effort. A couple of her big "Hits" were  (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover, and We'll Meet Again, the title of the song used as the closing line Queen Elizabeth used in her address to Britain a couple of months ago regarding the Corona virus (link below).

In August 1985, she appeared on stage at Crystal Palace Bowl, with Hawkwind (link below), Doctor and the Medics (they did a great cover of the 1969 song Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum) and several other rock bands, for the finale of a benefit concert for Pete Townshend's Double-O anti-heroin charity.
