The list of Grammy Hall Of Fame - 2010 inductees includes a good number of performers from the swing era. Included are recordings by Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Harry James, King Oliver, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie and Johnny Mercer. Dooley Wilson's recording (from the soundtrack of "Casablanca") of Herman Hupfeld's "As Time Goes By" has finally made the Hall of Fame. It is one of the top three songs from films of the 20th Century (American Film Institute's list). The other two are "Over The Rainbow" and "Singing In The Rain," two songs made famous by Judy Garland and Gene Kelly.
