Vanessa Williams - Burt Bacharach's Alfie
Показать описание
Bacharach/David's Alfie is performed by Vanessa Williams on the concert stage. The music video is accompanied by on-screen lyrics. Alfie was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David to promote the 1966 film, Alfie. The song was also a major hit for Cilla Black (UK) and Dionne Warwick (US).
Wikipedia background: Although Bacharach has cited "Alfie" as his personal favorite of his compositions, he and Hal David were not eager to write a song to promote the film Alfie (a release from Paramount Pictures, which owned Famous Music) when approached by Ed Wolpin of the Composers' Guild. David thought the title character's name pedestrian: "Writing a song about a man called 'Alfie' didn't seem too exciting at the time."
The composers agreed to submit an "Alfie" song if they could complete it within three weeks. Bacharach, in California, was inspired by a rough cut of the film about the Cockney womanizer played by Michael Caine. Bacharach felt that: "with 'Alfie' the lyric had to come first because it had to say what that movie was all about". He arranged for David – on Long Island – to receive a script of the film to enable him to compose the lyrics. David utilized one of Caine's lines, "What's it all about?", as the opening phrase. David's lyrics were then set to music by Bacharach. The original was recorded in the key of F-sharp major, but Bacharach usually plays Alfie live in B-flat major, the same key in which Cilla Black recorded it.
