After more than 60 years, the utterly distinctive timbre of Vera Lynn's voice still brings a special poignancy to these ballads of hope and heartache. We'll Meet Again - The Very Best of Vera Lynn is a nostalgic collection of songs from the height of Dame Vera's popularity including her greatest hits: "We'll Meet Again", "The White Cliffs Of Dover", "Yours, It's A Lovely Day Tomorrow" and the immortal song "As Time Goes By" featured in the film hit of 1944 Casablanca. This new collection containing 24 of the most popular songs from her early years proved an instant hit with the UK reaching #1 on the UK charts. At 92, Dame Vera made chart history as the oldest artist to achieve such a feat. The Times (UK) declared, "It's official: Vera Lynn is bigger than the Beatles" while The Guardian noted Vera Lynn is "still our sweetheart." The Vera Lynn spirit has an optimistic and heartening message that proves timeless. Her songs have just as much relevance today as they did back when mankind plunged into the madness of WWII.
