History

Vera Lynn (born Vera Margaret Welch, 20 March 1917, East Ham, Essex, England; died 18 June 2020) was an English singer and entertainer working in the traditional pop genre. She rose to fame during World War II, when British troops voted her their favorite performer in a Daily Express poll, earning her the enduring nickname "the Forces' Sweetheart." Touring with the Entertainments National Service Association, she gave outdoor concerts for soldiers in Egypt, India, and Burma, including a 1944 performance near the front before the Battle of Kohima. Her signature songs "We'll Meet Again," "The White Cliffs of Dover," and "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" became emblematic of the wartime era. She stayed active for decades afterward, scoring the UK number-one hit "My Son, My Son." Remarkably, in 2009, at age 92, she became the oldest living artist to top the UK Albums Chart, and in 2017, at 100, she reached the Top 10 with the album "Vera Lynn 100," making her the first centenarian performer to do so.
