John: That 1957 Nina & Frederik version was the most commercially successful Choucounne in the original French-Creole. It's credited to Massie Patterson's Jamaican-born ex-husband Sam. The Danish cover was arranged by jazz guitarist-bandleader Jørn Grauengaard.

It was the Pattersons' second copyright of the Caribbean melody, Massie having already co-published Trinidad's Louis Camille with Lionel Belasco in 1943 (Calypso Songs of the West Indies.)
