20. Always, featuring Ben on vocals and guitar.

3 years ago

"Always" is a popular song written by Irving Berlin in 1925, as a wedding gift for his wife Ellin Mackay, whom he married in 1926, and to whom he presented the substantial royalties.

Although legend (and Groucho Marx) claims Berlin wrote the song "Always" for The Cocoanuts, he never meant for the song to be included in that musical, and it was not.[1]

The song entered into the public domain on January 1, 2021.[2]

The song is an important plot element in Noel Coward's play Blithe Spirit. [3]
