1987 on the album "All In the Name of Love " this song is one of the "requested

A wonderful Waltz sung by Jo
Stafford & Gordon MacRae titled "Whispering Hope" A little research found that
they recorded this song for a 78 rpm disc in 1949. I found a site where the

inspirational Waltz. Click on this link to check it out.
