“As Time Goes By” was first written by Herman Hupfield in 1932, but the song became most famous when it was sung by the character Sam, portrayed by Dooley Wilson, in the 1942 film, Casablanca. When Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) and Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) were together before World War II, this was their favorite song, and when Ilsa first stumbles upon Rick’s bar after years apart, she famously says, “Play it, Sam”. It was voted the second best song in film history in AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Songs list, only after “Over the Rainbow” from the Wizard of Oz. The song has been recorded by many famous artists such as Frank Sinatra and Rod Stewart.
