WE'LL MEET AGAIN - CELEBRATING VERA LYNN AT 100

So singer Vera Lynn hit the century mark.  God bless her.

From Wikipedia:

Dame Vera Margaret Lynn CH DBE OStJ (née Welch; born 20 March 1917), widely known as "the Forces' Sweetheart", is an English singer, songwriter and actress. Her musical recordings and performances were enormously popular during the Second World War.

During the war she toured Egypt, India, and Burma as part of ENSA, giving outdoor concerts for the troops. The songs most associated with her are "We'll Meet Again", "The White Cliffs of Dover", "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and "There'll Always Be an England".

She remained popular after the war, appearing on radio and television in the UK and the US and recording such hits as "Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart" and her UK Number one single "My Son, My Son". Her last single, "I Love This Land", was released to mark the end of the Falklands War. In 2009, at age 92, she became the oldest living artist to top the UK Albums Chart, with "We'll Meet Again: The Very Best of Vera Lynn".

She has devoted much time and energy to charity work connected with ex-servicemen, disabled children, and breast cancer. She is held in great affection by veterans of the Second World War to this day and in 2000 was named the Briton who best exemplified the spirit of the 20th century.  Lynn celebrated her 100th birthday on 20 March 2017.

I think it could be its use at the end of "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" in 1964 which propelled "We'll Meet Again" to the front of the line when it comes to her best-remembered songs.
