Many young men were drafted to the armed services during the 1950s and served overseas in areas of conflict like Korea and Malaya at that time.
Jo Stafford had the ability to touch each of us with her voice, reminding us of home and loved ones awaiting our safe return.
"You Belong To Me" is a typical song back then as was "Faraway Places".
She was a giant on the music scene and will be sadly missed. Thank goodness I have many tracks of her music so that although she has gone on to a better place, her voice remains in this world.
God bless and Rest in Peace.
