Everything Old Is New Again

If you look at BBC Radio One's Top Ten albums for this week you would expect to see Jamie T, David Guetta, and Arctic Monkeys in the second, third and fourth positions.

But you would not expect to see Dame Vera Lynn at number one. But there she is. And at number five, six, nine and ten, it's The Beatles. 

Imagine that - at age 92, Vera Lynn is bigger than The Beatles.

Here's vintage film of Vera Lynn singing for the boys of the Royal Air Force.

(And while she sings beautifully, it's interesting to note how far modern dentistry has come.)
