"As Time Goes By" is immediately recognizable from Dooley Wilson's 1942 performance in Casablanca, but Herman Hupfeld actually wrote it in 1931 for the forgettable Broadway musical Everybody's Welcome. It was first recorded by Rudy Vallee in 1931, and of course covered many times since then. The American Film Institute voted it the number two movie song of the twentieth century ("Over the Rainbow" was first).
"Play it again, Sam." is one of the most iconic lines in cinema …….. by Woody Allen!
Eydie Gorme – massively underrated.
Steve Lawrence was the eye candy.
Eydie was the real talent.
