成人快手

In 2017 Sunday Night is Music Night saluted the Forces Sweethearts of the Second World War on the occasion of Dame Vera Lynn's 100th birthday. As part of this weekend's VE day celebrations, here's another chance to hear this tribute.

Born on 20th March 1917 young Vera Welch gave her first performance aged just 7. She became a vocalist for many British dance bands and worked with the likes of Joe Loss, Charlie Kunz and Bert Ambrose. Then during the war Vera devoted her life to entertaining the British troops at home and abroad. She presented her own 成人快手 radio series "Sincerely Yours". Two songs most associated with Vera are "We'll Meet Again" and "The White Cliffs of Dover" - these were two of the songs that got us through the war and did so much to raise morale during times of fear and conflict.

Tonight Sunday Night is Music Night salutes Vera and the other Forces Sweethearts - including Anne Shelton, Marlene Dietrich, Doris Day and the Andrews Sisters.

The 成人快手 Concert Orchestra conducted by Richard Balcombe perform Bridge on the River Kwai (Malcolm Arnold); the Spitfire Prelude and Fugue (William Walton) and the Dambusters March (Eric Coates). Our singing guests are Mary Carewe, Lucy Williamson, the Puppini Sisters and making a guest appearance and recalling memories of Gracie Fields - Su Pollard. The presenter is Ken Bruce.

Concert recorded 17th January 2017 at the Mermaid Theatre in London.
