Academy Awards—best actress

The Oscars

Here you see the Academy Awards for Best Actress.

The haunting song you're hearing is called As Time Goes By, (words and music by Herman Hupfeld). You may remember it as the theme song from the 1942 movie Casablanca (Best Picture—1943). This version is sung by Carley Simon, one of the many recording artists who have performed it brilliantly.

Carley's "down and dirty" driving interpretation is just as valid, just as rewarding, as the others chosen by The Muse Of Music. It demonstrates how As Time Goes By endures by speaking with many different voices that resonate with many different audiences, and by having so many different things to say, a hallmark of greatness.
