Hi there all
Well I am sat here listening to the album as time goes by, what a master piece of excellence, the Karen/Ella Medley blows me away everytime I listen to it.
I can remember watching an outtake of this where Karen walks down towards Ella as she does she raises her mic hand with her unmistakable pinky extended, a guy behind the scenes shout 'hold it Karen for gods sake lose the pinky no one can see you for it' at this Karen then pulls one of those faces that she does so well lol,
I do miss her

Hi Aaron, I know what you mean. I saw that clip too. I think it is neat to be able to see clips and outtakes of Karen. During the filming of MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC I always felt that Karen was stunningly beautiful. I especially loved her singing, "I Got Rhythm" and flailing away flawlessly at the drums is another highlight. I just love seeing her at the drums and her awesome skill at that instrument. I also loved her dancing and flirting ( a bit) and singing with John Davidson. I kind of laugh now...that John Davidson was some sort of sex symbol but back then, he was one of the hottest actors-singers-entertainer...(he was one of the hosts of the hit show THAT's INCREDIBLE)...anyhow...and the Karen-Ella duet is perfection. Nothing more need said about that. I also adore the Karen and Perry Como duet. That is amazing to think that Perry loved Karen's voice, and he rarely if ever, did duets with anyone...but someone said that he considered Karen his vocal equally...
My thoughts, Cameron

Hi Cam
What an amazing thing Karen and Perry its just wonderful, I have also gotta say that I know it has nothing to do with this album but the song 'now' always makes me cry she has this amazing ability to send a chill up ya spine and also the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, she was a classy lady.
LOL John Davidson a sex symbol yeah back then I can imagine, but I cannot get that excited lol, however the performance is great.
I have been a fan for many years and there music will always be in my life I hope one day to visit Downey and all the many places.
Love Aaron

I've been listening more and more to my "As Time Goes By" CD and almost think I may like it best right now. I love it because I can hear Karen sing songs that were hits for other people. I love Nowhere Man, Dancin' in the Streets and California Dreamin'. I bet she had so much fun doing those songs and especially being able to sing along side greats like Perry Como and Ella Fitzgerald. Great CD. Would love to get a hold of the outtakes you guys mentioned from their Make Your Own King of Music shows.

As Time Goes By is really a great album. I listen to it almost everyday. The Karen/Ella Medley is fantastic, what a great pairing. I also like Dancing In the Street and Rainbow Connection.

"As Time Goes By" is an awesome CD. I hope there will be more unreleased material from the studio sessions and the old TV shows. I still haven't taken the new "Gold" CD out of the stereo. It is amazing how incredible their music is and how it stands up year after year.
