harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,684 Posted August 31, 2009 Dame Vera hits the charts again. She's become the oldest living person to chart in the process (age 92). Who was the oldest dead person then? Mozart? I reckon the oldest living person to chart is Buster Martin of The Zimmers, who was 99 (give or take a year) when their version of My Generation made #26 in 2007. Oldest dead person? I'm going for the unknown bloke responsible for Ecclesiastes (c200-250 BC) when he 'co-wrote' Turn! Turn! Turn! with Pete Seeger, which became a hit for The Byrds in 1965. It also reached #26, oddly enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,644 Posted August 31, 2009 Dame Vera is the oldest living person in the top 20 UK albums, though this isn't quite the achievement the news programmes are suggesting. A major reason for this is the way album sales are dropping and one small section of the album buying public - pensioners - are bucking the trend by shelling out for hard copy whilst everyone else just steals stuff online. Dame Vera's sales wouldn't have registered for chart purposes ten years ago, now she makes the top 20. Jim Reeves had a top 10 album this year for much the same reasons.

Johanna 0 Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Has Vera Lynn been added to the 2010 list? Surely a hot contender... Edited October 27, 2009 by Magere Hein So much so she has her own topic. Post moved -- MH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted May 9, 2010 Just saw an interview with Vera Lynn on Dutch TV, recorded last winter. The old bird looked in fine form and even sang, remarkably well for her age. No signs of impending death. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,644 Posted May 9, 2010 Yep, I saw her interviewed about her 'new' album, seemed really chipper. The album, by the way, is 'rediscovered' acetates and discarded songs from earlier recordings. Guess it gives an insight into musical directions she might have taken, or summat. Maybe they'll re-issue the infamous 'Nashville' country album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godot 149 Posted September 19, 2010 Interviewed by David Frost in a documentary screened last night. She still seems pretty perky which is more than could be said for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,684 Posted September 6, 2011 Vera is interviewed in a documentary about ENSA on BBC4 on 20th September. It's a bit of a coffin-dodging special, also featuring him and him, to name but two. Why Vee is on the 2011 list, I have no idea. She must be the healthiest 94-year-old on the planet (Zsa Zsa excepted). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Long-timeLurker 1 Posted November 14, 2012 Dame Vera usually makes one or two appearances over the Remembrance weekend, this year I have not seen anything of her. Has anybody else? If not could it be a sign of declining health, though at her age she might just be suffering from old age rather than actual illness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest john molyneux Posted February 20, 2013 dame vera lynn.truly an inspiration to all our brave troops in ww2 and wont it be a very sad day when she does depart this world. she is to be looked up at with great fondness in my book and i've no doubt anyone from the war era would say the same. keep going dame vera,i personally would love to hear you sing 'we'll meet again',though i know you are frail these days.

Long-timeLurker 1 Posted February 24, 2013 An interview from earlier in the year seems to show Vera is not ill in any specific way but has more or less retired from Public life. http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2013/01/28/dame-vera-lynn-still-going-strong-at-95/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smiler711 0 Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Yep! I was born at the end of WWII and I remember Vera. She is great. I am glad she is still alive and enjoying life. I don't know why this damn thing is underlining everything so I apologize for that. Just read between the lines. Edited July 6, 2013 by DevonDeathTrip Underlining removed.
