Alfie - Burt Bacharach & Hal David performed by Stacey Kent and Jim Tomlinson 

One of the great songs

RIP Burt Bacharach. This is one of my favorites among so many other of his songs.

Perfect! ❤

RIP Mr. Bacharach 💔😢

Simple, straightforward, clear classy, heartfelt and elegant, like everything she sings.

Your gentle,warm, innocent voice never fails to feel wonderful.

I just love listening to this Woman voice is just so pure. One of Berts best RIP🙏🏼

Stacey the beautiful!!! 😘 RIP Burt Bacharach 🙏❤️✨️

Zo oneindig mooi dit nummer. Dank voor de muziek, die altijd blijft Burt Bacherach!.

A great song Stacey and a wonderful songwriter has left us. 🙏 Burt Bacharach.

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful music master and lyricist Hal David. Thank you Stacey. God's speed, Mr Bacharach.

Thank you Stacey and Jim. Sweet and elegant. A lovely tribute to a musical master💜

This is so beautiful, it brought me tears.. musical friend! Rest in Peace to Burt Bacharach..♾️ 🫂 🎶

quintessential Bacharach tune. vague suspended-note harmonies punctuated periodically by traditional ones, with "dreamy" dead spots... serving as transitions. i learned to play this on the piano as a 12 yr old and surprisingly still remembered all the words and melody (didn't miss a note) as i sang along with Stacy. i'm not bragging as i don't always carry a tune all that well! my favorite Bacharach tune by far! just lovely...

The most beautiful version of Alfie I've EVER heard. Stacy's voice and delivery is PERFECT!

This guys in love with you x

Stacy is an angel. Subscribed.

So exquisite. Makes me want to change my name to "Alfie".

This moved me to tears. Simply beautiful. Bacharach's melodies stand out in a period that produced a multitude of great songs.

Ah yes, you are the girl singer I judge all others by. So silky smooth and perfectly articulate ❤️

I've listened to this song by a number of artists, none better than this! Thx Stacey & Jim!

Wonderfull!!!❤❤

A timely musical pairing! Much thx.

wonderful song, great singer

Burt considered this his greatest melody and Hal David's greatest lyric, and you two show us why on this moving rendition. RIP Maestro.

Beautiful song by a great writer sung by a woman with a voice like a bell pure, sweet and clear. Good job, Stacey.

that wuz so sweet --- tanks ah lot :)

This is the most beautiful rendition of this song

Too just!

Bel et doux hommage, il aurait apprécié. RIP.

Thank you, thank you!

Merveilleuse voix. Une grande chanteuse. J'adore depuis très très longtemps.

RIP Sr Bacharach! Linda homenagem, Stacey!

beautiful

Wow. So many comments here are just spot on. Kent has a clear and simple voice reminiscent of the greatest bossa nova singers in history. It is the purity of her tone and her incredibly supple touch that are the hero elements here, but let’s not overlook the killer guitar accompaniment that brings Bacharach’s gorgeous and brilliant progressions to life. I’ve enjoyed Kent in multiple genres and languages, but never more than in this plaintive, moving song. Just wonderful. I hope I get to hear her at the MTL Jazz Festival. ❤❤❤

Superb

Beautiful voice and love Bacharach music.

Beautifully played and wonderfully sung. Well done.

Beautiful xx

What a great sound and voice ! and thank you for great song,burt.RIP.

Wonderful interpretation of Alfie.

Thank you for uploading this tribute to Burt Bacharach. I had the pleasure of seeing you perform in Dundee, Scotland back in 2013. You even played a request from me, The Shadow Of Your Smile.

I read Somewhere that this song was Burt’s favorite. Lovely interpretation- RIP

A beautiful Tribute...

REALLY NICE LOVELY VOICE & MELODY LOVE IT.

Voice from heaven ❤

A great homage. You are perfect for this song.

Great Bach!

Pure voice and gorgeous guitar work make for simple beauty. Less is more, no doubt about it. Carry on!

Beautiful. I love these duets. ❤️👍🎸

Very beautiful ❤️

Beautiful arrangement !!!

Such a clear, pure voice. I can't wait to see her in London this May.

Thank you both. This is one of my favorite Burt Bacharach songs.

Beautiful! Stacy, your voice is so silky smooth and soothing. Jim, your guitar style blends with Stacy's vocal like a soft woven fabric. I am a big fan of you both. I also love to hear Jim play his sax. Together you make lovely music. Play on!

Que lindo, Stacey.

Bliss.

Such beautiful, rich and diverse chord and backup melody selections, Truly wonderful.

I think I've listened to every rendition of "Alfie" since falling in love with the Dionne Warwick interpretations (recorded and live, they're my favorites). Wow, yours is just beautifully simple. Thank you, I'm betting Burt approves.

Bravo Stacey and Jim!

4 minutes of genius.

The best rendition I've ever heard for this legacy song, thank you ....Did not want it to end, though the ending was Bacharach perfection🙏🏼

Your intonation & phrasing, are stellar; it comes-off that you're relaxed, and truly enjoying the sound, and where it's going..!

When less is more.

Nice❤

Música inolvidable del inolvidable Burt.

Just a beautiful low-key performance. Stacey, your vocals are fantastic. Love you in these settings with just voice and guitar.

Beautiful... Fantastic!... As Always!...❤

I know Alfie was one of Burt's favorite songs. This was a beautiful rendition. Thank you.❤️

Beautiful!!!!

You two are a musical treasure, and understand the power of 'less is more' ... spellbindingly sweet collaboration! How come I never knew Jim played guitar so beautifully? Carry on, your teamwork is SO wonderfully natural and relaxing...

Burt sang his favorite composition to piano only, so I searched for an equally simple but superbly sung rendition. And here it is, the best Alfie by far. Hope Burt heard it. Thank you so much.

Alfie What's it all about, Alfie? Is it just for the moment we live? What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie? Are we meant to take more than we give? Or are we meant to be kind? And if only fools are kind, Alfie Then I guess it is wise to be cruel And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie What will you lend on an old golden rule? As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie I know there's something much more Something even non-believers can believe in I believe in love, Alfie Without true love we just exist, Alfie Until you find the love you've missed, you're nothing, Alfie When you walk, let your heart lead the way And you'll find love any day, Alfie Alfie Burt Bacharach / Hal David

Lovely, thank you both for recording this. You have returned my faith in humanity. May the world live in peace without want.

I love the production and informal setting.

A lovely tribute; thank you for sharing this.

Magical ❤

Beautiful couple you are ! ❤

Hermoso!!!👋👋👋👋

Beautiful version. I love it.Thank you so much. The loss of Burt Bacharach has me searching for a version to learn on my guitar. This is a nice guitar accompaniment.

Que lindo❤

I can't wait to see you here in Chicago at Evanston Space. I saw you in 2018 and 2022. You guys put on an awesome show. Any ideas when you'll return to Chicago?

This song is up there with How Insensitive folks.

Cool Peace Love

Lovely rendition folks

É angelical💓👩🏾‍🦱

Love your beautiful voice 🫶

Cilla Black should have had the radio hit with this song from the hit movie co-starring Beatle GF Jane Asher, but Cher got in there and stole Cilla's fire.
