If you haven't heard of Vera Lynn...

Then you're missing out on one of WW2 most angelic voices.  I stumbled across her on youtube whiile looking for music to the show Catch-22.

Sadly all the torrents to her hit seem to be dead so I'm going to have to download her hits from youtube.

There are plenty of them on YouTube.  Happy listening!

I suspect Dame Vera would have a giggle at having her voice described as "angelic."  However, there can be no doubt she had a very clear and distinctive voice that was instantly recognizable.  Powerful, too.  She grew up singing in English music halls and workingmen's clubs, often over the hubbub of drunken men, so that she was obliged to tone down her voice for records and the radio.

On one hand I really wish I was a housewife in the year 1940.  On the other hand I would much prefer a 1940 without the war or be certain I could located in the United States.

I have my hopes that a Vera Lynn torrent will suddenly come to life again.  The quality is so much better than youtube rips.
