to me joss has one of the best versions of this song and this song holds a special place for me because it was one of the first mp3s i ever bought and downloaded when i very first got an ipod years ago...and I love this and her :)
wow!! that girl sang that song man..im the toughest customer known to God..i did not know she had it like that.. i guess she must sound too black for mainsteam taste.. who did she piss off in the industry.. oh i forgot she got labled a n*99@ luva..
She is so very good, Take no notice of sussexsaus if Burt Bacharach said Cilla Black's version was the definitive version it was a long time ago and he was being polite. Cilla Black is a lovely funny lady but as Frankie Howard used to say to her I don't know which is flatter ,her voice or her chest. Go for the Dionne Warwick version would be my advice .
Al inicio de la Pelicula sale la cancion de (joss stone - Alfie) Depues cuando aparece Alfie en la cama Solo sale la Cancion Instrumental ( piano / bateria / guitarra) ¿ Alguien sabe como se llama? Ayuda ..!!
At the beginning of the movie comes out the song (Joss Stone - Alfie) Then when you see Alfie in bed Just leave the instrumental song (piano / drums / guitar) Does anyone know the name?
I love what she does with this. Maybe just a few too many vocal acrobatics too early but she really makes the song her own. I personally prefer Cher's original movie version but it's a hard song to get wrong.
I heard this song after watching Alfie and stop cold turkey in my tracks! Who the hell is this..waited till the credits rolled up and I'll be damned! She did a wonderful job. Yodeling and all.
Northcountryman, same here. I just heard Cilla's on that same clip. And unfortunately, this version is typical of the urban yodeling (destruction of the melody with vocal African-American-style gospel histrionics) that has been made so prevalent in music over the last 20 years.
This is good, but I just heard Cilla cutting the single with BB in a studio and Cilla wins hands down, Cillas version is history in the making, just try it, its on You Tube
Ron indeed had a rich career and his BB CD shows his admiration and respect towards this great composer BUT this song was meant to be performed by a WOMAN and Joss Stone has been one of the best ones displaying the bitterness of the deserted lover I was trying to compare the versions here on youtube... well, judgement is yours :)
Standing ovation.

I don't know I thought I liked this rendition
but I think I like Ron Isley's better, he did a whole Burt Bacharach cd, I love it, it is a must hear

This song was a fav of mine before but I was floored by Joss Tone's version. And this is from some who rarely is into blue eyed soul.
