During WWII, she received the nickname of "GI JO" from the servicemen whose hearts she won with sentimental ballads. Stafford's last recording was in 1970, but many of her songs are still used in movie soundtracks to this day.
Another classic beauty laid to rest.
November 12, 1917 - July 16, 2008
Lyrics from one of her songs, "No Other Love:"
No Other Love can warm my heart
Now that I've known the comfort of your arms
No other love.
Oh the sweet contentment that I find with you
Every TimeEvery Time.
No other lips could want you more
For I was born to glory in your kiss.
Forever yours.
I was blessed with love to love you
Til the stars burn out above you
Til the moon is but a silver shell
No other love,
Let no other love
Know the wonder of your spell.
