Dame Vera Lynn re-enters charts

Legendary singer Dame Vera Lynn has become the oldest living artist to enter the top 20 of the UK album chart, her record company said.

Dame Vera, who kept up the spirits of millions of soldiers during World War II, has entered the album chart at number 20 - at the age of 92.

In a video, Dame Vera expressed her surprise and delight at getting on the charts when the music that is the norm today is so different than the type she sang in the 1940s. I say it's rather nice. Good music should be appreciated no matter what the style.
