Program Notes
As Time Goes By is a song written by Herman Hupfeld in 1931. It became most famous in 1942 when part of it was sung by the character Sam (Dooley Wilson) in the movie Casablanca. Sam's piano accompaniment was played by pianist Elliot Carpenter. The song is heard throughout the film as a leitmotif.
The song was voted No. 2 on the AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs special, commemorating the best songs in film (only surpassed by Over the Rainbow by Judy Garland). It has since become the representative song of Warner Bros. (and was also the title and theme song of the 1990s British romantic comedy series As Time Goes By.
