initial Note: Before reading this article, give the "play" the video and immediately, to "pause", to be discharged, that goes a little awkward . I came out very cute, really.
thought it would be sufficient provided so far to confirm that Francisco de Val is the author of "How beautiful is my girl", but some people have either not read well or better, have not I wanted to read good arguments. Even someone has questioned the documentation provided. Ask why these documents are examined strictly, without bias or blinders.
So, leaving aside the data from the NBS and the SGAE (which, as you have seen, say that Francisco García de Val is the author of this song), put at the disposal of all stakeholders documentation (Already sent to the family environment and a personal friend of Flores Gaditano) on the authorship of "How beautiful is my girl."
First Flores's own words (with my translation, which is free) in the article of Claude Worms entitled "Flores Gaditano" singing lessons, art and life ", of November 18 2007:

The importance of this finding is exceptional. First, it is the very Flores who says. Second, is of very recent date to retract. Third, because it is spontaneous, no one asks you to specify when he composed the song. Fourth, because no expression no hesitation, no hint of doubt. And fifth, because Flores does not give an exact date, but an indefinite period will always play to his favor.
a clarification on the term "fix." "Compose" is not necessarily to make a score, and fewer records, but to produce, in the broadest sense, a musical work. And first occurs and then sings. It would not be acceptable that someone said that I listened to flowers sing in nightclubs in Algeciras before the end of 49. If this were true, or Flores would have made before that date (and that's not what he says), or what Flores was singing "What a beautiful ..." music, probably with an air of bolero, by Francisco de Val.
With this "end of the 49" is placed ahead of all records F. Val has this song on the National Library (the bolero of 50) and can improve the SGAE (12/19/1949).
For the foregoing reasons, this data is so important to take it for good (but Flores does not have, or at least I do not know, no proof of the composition on that date). And it would be very suspicious that a student of life and work of Florencio Ruiz Lara found it (after reading, perhaps this work) earlier date this "late 49" (eg, early 48) to compose the song. Circle
also a subtle paradox: that Flores is right (on the authorship of the song) has to be wrong (at the time of its composition). But all can be.
So far the situation was stagnant at this point: F. Val was "officially" the father of the child (according to the NBS and SGAE), but Flores, unable to prove, said that before Francisco de Val, he had already composed and sung by Algeciras.
But Paco Val died in 1984, no wife, no children, almost without trace. And her memory was eclipsing to absolute oblivion. Both forgot that even those who claimed to Flores that song, knew the name of who it was disputing. And then suddenly
a book of poems by Francisco del Val entitled "Angelus." And on pages 34-35 this poetry to music:
look everywhere, and no date appears editing. But on the first page is a dedication ... and has a date:

If, 24/08/1948. At a stroke (pun intended), Fco De Val returns to claim its authorship ahead by at least 14 months from the date of Cadiz. I say "at least" because, obviously, the date of the dedication is behind the publication date and poetry in front of it.
How many years ahead? They come in the 30's, but most of these poems are from 1944. The exact date of "How beautiful ..." we do not know, but will continue to investigate.
see in "Angelus" a "What nice ... "longer than we are accustomed, but which contains, almost verbatim, the current stanzas. Those who know something of the work of Francisco, we know that is the letter of the bolero" my child is so beautiful "May 50, delightfully sings Carmen de Veracruz. Audio, from" Voices to swing ", is presented by Jose Luis Rubio, who says:
" Now let's continue with a English bolero written by Francisco García de Val, who was the author of the letter of another bolero, the famous "Traveling", and he heard a lot in Spain in many versions, especially flamenco-like, but this we'll hear the original version. Carmen de Veracruz sings with an orchestra conducted by Nicasio Tejada on a disc recorded in Madrid in May 1950 by the Columbia: "How beautiful is my child ."
I bring this document is the opinion of a man who really knows about music in those years. Let (I advise you now that you have downloaded it, see it in "full screen") video:
One person has accused me of seeking "My moment of glory." If anyone has any credit goes to my fellow sufferer Gaspar José Ramón , who has found the book Angelus with the song "How beautiful is my girl" and the inscription with the date of 24.08.1948. Us have done what was our duty: to defend the authorship of Fco De Val, attacked by what is said on the stand and in the back of the bas-reliefs dedicated to Flores. Who
itself is covered with "glory" was the city of Algeciras, having been advised of the problem myself, dated 16/06/2009, is ultimately responsible for the mess. But who, knowing the controversy, have encouraged Flores put the tagline of "his first hit as a composer, a popular milonga How beautiful is my girl", adding the additional letter in the back. This has thrown flowers at the feet of horses.
Instead of "big play" (making him a tribute for all his work), have taken a órdago the girl (pun intended: "How beautiful is my girl"). And, at the stake, Francisco de Val, weary after years of controversy, he shouted: "I want and I win!". And it has taken two aces (BNE and SGAE) and gold as no one expected: the dedication of the Angelus.
The game is over. If someone wants a rematch, to present best cards, best arguments to those shown here. To improve (and loosely) that date of 24/08/1948 with verifiable evidence (or at least falsifiable).
Ah! And if that happens, we will be the first to admit, not losers because we feel over Paco Flores Val and Gaditano above each of us is the search for truth.
But today the truth is with Francisco de Val.
Note: I pray to the pages devoted to English music, especially flamenco and copla pages that are updated and incorporate the evidence from this study about the authorship of "How beautiful is my child" to not to still hear the chant boring usual.
Last Minute (14:00 of 11/08/1910): The Web Flamenko.es me today announced that it has rectified the biography Flores regarding the authorship of "What my beautiful girl "by deleting the paragraph on that song.
Last Minute (17:00 of 09/11/1910): The biography of Isabel Pantoja (whose father says he fought for his authorship) also makes F. Val as the author of the song.
Last Minute (16:00 of 10/11/1910): The page view when looking over the biography of Flores Gaditano deleted the paragraph on "How beautiful is my girl."
Last Time (15/11/1910): On Wikipedia there have been two pages, one for Francisco de Val and another How beautiful is my girl . Both are credited with authorship of the song to Francisco de Val
