Francia Luban(1912-1987)
- Soundtrack
Songwriter, author and composer Francia Luban joined ASCAP in 1940, and her popular-song compositions include "Say Si Si", "Tango of Roses", "Gay Desperado", "Altenitas", "Orticinas", "La Chaparrita", "On the Beach of Havana", "Champagne Tango", and "El Choclo". Her output of these numerous Latin-themed tunes gave no hint that her actual origins were indeed Russian.
