G-W Coed - Singer of Ballards
by Susan Praytor
Just recently one of our stu
dents, Miss Wanda Jenkins,
and her sister Donna, a 21-
year-old secretarial student at
the University of South Caro
lina, released a record on the
“KLUB” label. Together they
sing “Lesson of Love” and
“Darlin’ Come to Me.” Donna
sings alto and Wanda u.sually
handles the melody line al
though they change around
with ease.
Two years ago, neighbors of
the Columbia, South Carolina
girls had no idea of recording
any of their songs. They had
been singing since they were
knee-high just for the fun of it,
but one evening a friend of the
Jenkins’ family heard them
sing and asked that they come
to the Custom Kecording and
Sound of Greenville. Donna
and Wanda went and sang for
company officials who were
impressed with them. A Col
umbia music critic said, “The
girls have something different.

initely not rock ’n’ roll. It’s a
sort of a popular ballad style
—a contempoj-ai-y ballad souiul.
It has appeal for every age
group, ’ ’
Both girls play self - taught
guitars — Donna, a six-string,
and Wanda, a 12 string with
which they accompany them
selves as they sing “pages out
their musical diary,” Altoge
