VERA
“Vera” is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their 1979 album, The Wall. (More from Wikipedia)
All I knew about Vera Lynn, an enormously popular English singer during World War II was the reference to her in the song “Vera” from the 1979 Pink Floyd album, The Wall. Thus, I was astounded (along with the rest of the world, I think including Vera Lynn herself) when a retrospective of her work that was released in 2009, We’ll Meet Again: The Very Best of Vera Lynn reached the top of the British charts. At age 92, she is the oldest person ever to achieve that feat in Great Britain.
