I'll See You In C-U-B-A Words and Music by Irving Berlin Played by All Star Trio. Recorded February 1920 This song, written shortly after the start of prohibition was Irving Berlin's humorous protest to the state of dryness in the US. His solution was to travel to Cuba where booze was still legal. The song first appeared in the 1920 Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic and enjoyed a fairly good recording run afterward with recordings that include performances by Billy Murray and Ted Lewis and his Orchestra. Twenty-six years later, it was revived by Bing Crosby in the film, Blue Skies (1946.)
