Best version ! Move over Dionne!

Great, I listen to this song all the time on my i-pod. Yes Dionne is best known for Bacharach songs but Barbra is Barbra and great interpretation. Let's just enjoy her.

Um ... it's Cher that performs this song in the original movie. Numerous singers have done it over the years, but no one in popular music can stand on the same stage with Barbara and hold their own. She is the greatest pop singer of our era, no competition. I just wish she didn't sing so dang many sappy, cheezy songs.
Alfie is NOT a sappy song. It is a work of art, and a perfect fit for the likes of Barbara.

@mygirlruth Well that is great but, pointless. Just because he knew who was going to record it first doesn't mean she sings it best. Cilla Black actually sang it 2 year before Dionne in an arrangment made just for her by Bacharach.

Refer to that comment above. Burt wrote this song for Dionne's voice. It's her song, he'll even tell 'ya that.
-
this was not the song for her, still good though
-
I give Babs credit for knowing a great song, but her schmaltz is too much for this gem. Leave it to Dionne, or better yet, give it to Diana Ross - she 's the only one with the chops to take it away from Warwick.
-
very nice, Love Barbra, But Dionne Warwick owns this song,
-
She's beautiful. For a cross-eyed anteater.
@mygirlruth I think Babs in her 60's sings this better than Dionne did in THE 60's...

Great, but still not Dionne. Alfie was really meant for her.
