Joining our occasional ladies of song series AVID Easy is proud to present our tribute to the greatest dame of them all. Dame Vera Lynn. Now in her nineties and a recent chart topper in 2009, she became the oldest person to achieve that most pop-tastic of distinctions! There is no need to tell the story of Vera Welch here as it is all too well known to music lovers the world over. Needless to say we have included all Vera’s most popular songs on this finely re-mastered double CD featuring of course We’ll Meet Again, The White Cliffs Of Dover, Goodnight Children Everywhere and When The Lights Go On Again.
Indeed this is a fine collection to sit alongside our other ladies of song including Jessie Matthews, Frances Day, Evelyn Laye and Pat Kirkwood.
