"Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?" Pink Floyd asked on side three of The Wall. "Vera! Vera! What has become of you?" The lyric intended to conjure up a long, gone figure from the distant past of World War II. But what's become of Vera Lynn is that, at 92 years young, she is the oldest recording artist to score a number one album in the United Kingdom. Thirty years after Roger Waters wondered if anybody remembered Vera Lynn, his fellow Brits have issued a delayed response in the affirmative.
