I have always believed that Vera Lynn and Bing Crosby won the Battle of the Atlantic. Who else sustained our wet morale by nightly watch on the evil waters Thirty West of Greenwich?
In all my English days I never caught up with Miss Lynn, but now here I was, walking into the Los Angeles Music Center to pay my respects to the Groaner in Chief. He was giving a benefit performance for the Tarzana Psychiatric Hospital and the Sugar Ray Robinson Foundation. He is 71, and looks better than Muhammad Ali did last time around.
