Dear All,
I am trying to trace the copy of a particular track that my father believes that Jim released. It is called " vaya con dias ". I am desperate to find the single or an album that it is on , however my search has so far been unsuccessful. Could anyone let me know where I might be able to purchase a copy of this single, assuming that my dad is correct and it was released? Thanks very much. Mark

I have never heard of Jim Reeves recording this song or even having sung it on stage. However I could be wrong!

Thank you Colin, I was a bit sceptical when I couldn't find it , but according to wikipedia, Jim IS listed as a notable artist ???? How strange

Wikipedia is wrong, Reeves never recorded the song.

No, Jim never recorded this song. I'm sure there are many artists that have covered this song, but as far as I know, it was Les Paul and Mary Ford who had a big hit with this tune.
