(“As Time Goes By” by Herman Hupfeld, 1931)
The performance preserved here is from an Oct. 13, 2004 concert at
London’s Royal Albert Hall, later aired on PBS’s “Great Performances”
series as “One Night with Rod Stewart” on March 1, 2005. Stewart,
accompanied by the 60-piece BBC, Concert Orchestra, invites a
dazzling array of guests, including his partner for this duet, Chrissie Hynde.
Since 1978, Hynde has been the frontwoman for American rockers
The Pretenders, who were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.
