Biography

Vera Lynn was born Vera Margaret Welch in East Ham, London. Later she adopted her grandmother’s maiden name Lynn as her stage name. She began singing at the age of seven. Her first radio broadcast, with the Joe Loss Orchestra, was made in 1935. At this point she was being featured on records released by dance bands including Loss’s and Charlie Kunz’s. In 1936 she made her first solo record on the Crown label, “Up the Wooden Hill to Bedfordshire”. This label was soon swallowed up by Decca. After a short stint with Loss she stayed with Kunz for a few years during which she waxed several standards.
