La Vie en rose
Grace Jones’ earliest release of “La Vie en rose” on file came out in 1977. Louiguy and Édith Piaf are credited as its writers. The earliest release on file is Édith Piaf’s, from 1947. Also recorded by Mireille Mathieu (released 1976), James Last (released 1982) and Marlene Dietrich (released 1964), among 374 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.
Piaf put her name on the credit, but Louiguy is the other half of it, and that is the song Grace Jones carried into 1977 with her own version. Play hers first, then go back to the 1947 record and hear what both of them had to work with.
Credited writers: Louiguy and Édith Piaf.
Earliest release on file: Édith Piaf, 1947.
