Product Description
"We'll Meet Again" was written in 1939
by Ross Parker and Hughie Charles, and made famous by singer Dame Vera Lynn. The
song is one of the most famous of the Second World War era. It later gave its
name to the 1943 musical film We'll Meet
Again, where Vera Lynn played the lead role.
During the Cold War, Lynn's recording of the song
was included in the package of music and programmes held in 20 underground
radio stations of the BBC's Wartime Broadcasting Service (WTBS), designed to
provide public information and morale-boosting broadcasts for 100 days after a
nuclear attack.
In 2005, Vera Lynn sang the song in London on the
60th Anniversary of VE Day in 2005, and, in 2020, a duet with Katherine Jenkins
reached number 72 on the UK Singles Chart.
