JAZZ singer Carol Addy really has something to sing about.

Known for her renditions of such wartime favourites as We'll Meet Again, the York singer has tracked down the mother she never knew.

Carol was given up for adoption as a baby after her father, an American serviceman based in East Anglia, returned to the United States.

She was brought up in York, by adoptive parents who died relatively young.

Now her East Anglian mother has been traced to Australia.

Long and happy phone conversations have been held. A visit Down Under is planned.

So Carol will be meeting her mother. She knows where and she knows when.

And we wish her a happy reunion.
