Lovely Voice

Vera Lynn is a favorite from my father's early days.

My favorites are from her WWII era: We'll Meet Again, White Cliffs of Dover, Wish Me Luck (As You Wave Me Goodbye), There'll Always Be an England, Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square.

More well known in the UK than the US. We'll Meet Again and White Cliffs of Dover are her best remembered.

Another wonderful voice from that era is Jo Stafford, who is known for I'll be Seeing you and Long Ago and Far Away.

Vera Lynn Collection

A little disappointing, because only 5 top notch war songs are represented. The remaining songs were recorded after the war and don't seem to have the same effect. August 15, 2007

Nostalgia and the WWII years

Vera Lynn was quite popular during the war. She had a beautiful voice. Her song, We'll Meet Again (Don't Know Where Don't Know When) was used in the film (was it Dr. Strangelove?) where a fellow rides the atom bomb at the end of the film.
Catchy melody, pleasant to hear, typical of the war era.
Funny: war songs don't seem to exist any more in any quantity, whereas they were an important part of
WWII. May 20, 2007
