90 year old D-Day vet has the #1 selling song in England
Today is the 75th anniversary of D-Day, when the Allied forces landed at Normandy in World War Two, then kicked the Nazis out of France. It was a big part of the reason we won World War Two.
Jim Radford was only 15 when he served as the galley boy on a British ship at Normandy. He’s the youngest known D-Day vet, and he’s 90 now.
Back in 1969, he wrote a folk song called “The Shores of Normandy”. Now, he’s re-recorded it and for the last few days it’s been Amazon’s top selling single in the U.K.
Jim’s song was our Feel Good Moment of the Day this morning. Hear the whole story here:
