MacKenzie Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Yes and she is releasing her latest album. Not only that she is the oldest person to have a hit album, she was 90 at the time. Here is one of her US hits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Easy to see why she was voted the "Sweetheart of the Troops". Her image is being projected on the white cliffs of Dover today. http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/vera-lynns-face-lights-up-10060074 I found this interesting and telling- In 1944, with the global war at its height, Lynn undertook a tour to entertain British troops in Egypt, India, and Burma. In later years she would express her amusement when Spice Girl Geri Halliwell demanded a refrigerator full of soymilk before performing for soldiers bound for Iraq. "She's lucky to be somewhere there is a fridge," she told the Guardian, recalling her stays in grass huts with a bucket of water for a shower. But the trip to distant Burma was worth it. "I remember one of the boys saying, 'Home can't be that far away, 'cause you're here,'" she told the Guardian. "It shortened the distance somehow." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
