Bert Ambrose's major discovery in
the years leading up to the war was the singer Vera Lynn (b. 1917), who sang
with his band from 1937 to 1940 and, during the war, became known as the
"Forces' Sweetheart". Lynn married Harry Lewis, a clarinettist in the
band, in 1939. Other singers with the Ambrose band included Sam Browne, Elsie
Carlisle, Denny Dennis, who recorded a number of duets with Vera Lynn, Max
Bacon (also the band's drummer), Evelyn Dall, and Anne Shelton, with whom
"When That Man Is Dead And Gone", a jibe at Adolf Hitler, written by
Irving Berlin, was recorded in 1941. Ambrose's signature tune was "When
Day Is Done".
