IT HAD TO BE YOU by the California Ramblers 1924

Here is one of the earliest releases of It Had To Be You, released April 18, 1924, less than a month after the song debuted. Since then, it has evolved into a slow paced love song, but here it befits the times and is a nice fox trot dance tempo. Enjoy!

Every time I picked up a recording by The California Ramblers I knew it would be hot. This is no exception, and one of the greatest songs ever written. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Columbia Banners and early Californians is a perfect combination!! The corny wa-wa, Rollini and everything. Thank you!

Why does everything have to "fuckin'?". Limited vocabulary?
