Les Paul and Mary Ford were a popular 1950s husband-and-wife/group musical team in which Les Paul played the guitar and Mary Ford sang. In 1951 alone, they sold six million records.

The couple were introduced to each other by Gene Autry in 1946 and were married in 1949.

Les Paul and Mary Ford are famous for creating a makeshift recording studio in their garage. In their garage studio, they used multitrack recording to record many of their hits including 'Lover', 'Nola', 'Brazil' and 'Whispering' with only the two of them.[2]

World Is Waiting For The Sunrise

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCE8JYNx76M

"The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise" is a popular ballad with lyrics by Gene Lockhart and music (Toronto 1918) by the concert pianist Ernest Seitz, who had conceived the refrain when he was 12.

Embarrassed about writing popular music, Seitz used the pseudonym "Raymond Roberts" when the song was first published by Chappell in 1919.
