Dame Vera Lynn turns 103 today

Post by HHTel »

To celebrate her birthday, We'll Meet Again has been re-released along with unseen footage of her singing it. It was originally released in 1939 and was considered appropriate to release this version in light of the current situation.

Wouldn't surprise me if it somehow got into the charts!

Not surprising but the song has jumped hundreds of places to land No. 22 in the charts.
