From: "Jan Hovers" Thanks to Kristjan and Bertrand I know that Les Paul was (co-)writer and before Piaf. Hope to find out more details on Les Paul’s recording. > I don't know if this helps, but I have a Les Paul and Mary Ford LP that says VA YA CON DIOS was first released on June 1, 1953. In the U.S. JOHNNY was on the flip side. RayK
