Tear Jerker / Vera Lynn

Go To

  • We urge you to listen to her version of "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot" and NOT shed a tear.
  • "We'll Meet Again", her Signature Song, also hits the right tearjerker buttons. Considering that it's a World War II song, it's implied that the place that "we'll" meet again is heaven, which makes it more poignant.
    • In the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Katherine Jenkins rerecorded it with Lynn to comfort people who were socially distancing away from loved ones. Though it only reached #55 in the singles chart, it was Lynn's last chart performance during her lifetime; she died that June at the ripe old age of 103.
