Hi, Folks -
Les Paul & Mary Ford in a homey little clip, performing "The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise", lyrics by Gene Lockhart, music by concert pianist Ernest Seitz under the pseudonym "Raymond Roberts", originally published in 1919.
Paul & Ford's Capitol 1949 recording of this was a million-seller.
Wikipedia comments: "In the early 1950s, Paul made a number of revolutionary recordings with his wife, Mary Ford, who sang. These records were unique for their heavy use of overdubbing, which he did by recording to disc and bouncing from one disc to the other." 
So that's Mary Ford, harmonizing with herself. :)
