Wanda Stafford – The Most Beautiful Words (In The World) – 1960

Written by Johnny Lehmann / Stan Lebowsky

Wanda Stafford began singing in clubs during the mid 1950s and performed with the greatest jazz musicians in the city, including Wes Montgomery. Her debut album “In Love for the Very First Time” was a hit with critics, but Stafford’s ascent to stardom was interrupted by her responsibilities as a single working mother.
