"The Coffee Song"

The Copacabana Revue was an abbreviated version of the show presented at the Copacabana night club in New York City. The revue was often mounted in another venue, commonly the Roxy Theater as the stage show accompanying the movie currently playing. Copacabana Revues were produced periodically during the 1940s. "The Coffee Song" was introduced in the Revue by Julie Wilson in 1946. This preceded Sinatra's first recording of the song, a hit record that came along later in that same year.
