Vera Lynn dead at 103

Posted June 18, 2020 by Floydian Slip

British World War II-era vocalist Vera Lynn died this morning. She was 103.

Lynn was name-checked in Roger Waters‘s “Vera,” which appeared on Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” (1979).

The song opens with the lyric, “Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?” The song also references one of her most famous songs: “We’ll Meet Again.”

Her recording of “The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot” plays during the opening of the film “Pink Floyd The Wall” (1982).
