title: As Time Goes By (STEVIE’S HARP BITS)key: Soloharp type: Chromaticgenre: Cskill: AnyHowdy folks I am excited beyond belief as well as honoured and humbled to presentthese two tabs to you!!This particular version of the song is in itself very special andincredibly dear to meAnd by the time your done im sure you too!it is without a doubt not only signature Stevie but among his bestworks ever!Before we get into it there is some âvery special backgroundâ to thisversion and a behind the scenes story which if you do not know wouldmean you would miss more than half of whatâs REALLY going on!.This version is By Carly Simon and was done back in 1987 and althoughthe first few verses are the song we all know The rest of it is infact a mass and parody of lines from âCasablancaâ the movie that madethis song famous. So for those of you that havenât seen in, go watchit so that you know whatâs going on.Also to her credit Carly as you will hear has managed to take Stevieâsguest appearance and literally incorporate him into the song! As wellas âprofess her love for him!â 3:24 in the song (You better believeit, when I tell you that i mean it, of all of these, gin joints, youHAD to walk into mine!Carly went to great lengths to get Stevie to play with her after twoof his songs really touched her for reasons that will become obviousto you soon and make up the biggest âin storyâ. At the time Steviehad done and released âBoogie on Reggae Womanâ and âHow come how longâ(this song was re done in the early 2002 by Babyface and Stevie whichincludes two soloâs from Stevie that you can find posted here by me!)Both songs celebrate Women and how come how long speaks out againstdomestic violence and attacks on Women something Carly knows about,his political statement at the time about this subject is whatendeared Stevie to her and made her seek him out! He was also untillate last year (2010) one of very few privy to the secrets behind herworld famous smash hit âYour so vainâ which brings me to the big instory!Up until now it was believed and recorded and noted that the song wasabout WARREN BEATTY! However anyone who checked would know that theyNEVER DATED!After his arrest and conviction for Murder (Lana Clarkson) thisHollywood heavyweightPHIL SPECTOR!!was exposed and the reports of his hot temper andbattering women over many years came to light!. Amongst those hebattered was CARLY SIMON!! The song is in fact ABOUT HIM!! Somethingthat Stevie knew prior to his arrest, and one of the reasons Stevieleft his label!Something that she is STILL angry about! (you can tell by the disgustin her voice when she says HIM see below)Now many of you would not know that Stevie for many years played undera pseudonym which was âEivets Rednowâ (Stevie wonder spelledbackwards) YES FOLKS EIVETS AND STEVIE ARE ONE IN THE SAME! Whenâlittle Stevie wonderâ was discovered and signed he was âownedâ by thelabel (Tamla) and although he wanted to do it all, he was preventedbecause Blues and Jazz and reggae etc âDont sell and wasnât acommercial marketâ furthermore they put him on ice so speak from 16-21due to puberty and voice changes, however he did rack up album creditsas a composer, percussionist, keyboardist and harmonica player (forMotown)( Harmonica for: the Trammps, The Temptations, Diana Ross,Herbie Hancock, Norman Brown, The Spinners, 4 tops, Barbara Streisandto name some)But it didnât stop Stevie! Tamla owned âlittle Stevie wonder andStevie wonderâ they did not own Eivets Rednow. So under this name hesang and played for an alternative label namely PHIL SPECTORS label!!As well as being a guest player on other artist works on that label,and although she wanted to work with Stevie at the time was“prevented” from doing so, something Carly knew well and is in factwhat she is referring to at 3:44 in the song when she says âYou playedit for HIM now, so you GOT to play it for me, play it STEVIE!!âSO NOW YOU ALL KNOW TOO!!! I hope you found it enlightening andenjoyable Stevie plays throughout this song after 2:10 and includes two solo’sas well as many harp fills. so as stated this a a two part tab.this first tab contains note for note every harp riff, and fillthroughout the song.
