Here she is, singing another difficult arrangement by Burt Bacharach, his song titled.,... Alfie. If I recall correctly, this song was very difficult to produce as perfectly as Burt Bacharach wanted for this particular recording. I love this song, Alfie.


Burt Bacharach and his partner Hal were among the first of artists in the LGBT community I listened to with regularity (we had one of the first FM stations back in the late 60s that played all kinds of music penned by Burt and Hal), years ago. Back when no one necessarily knew that Burt and Hal were Gay and in a committed relationship.

All this time I thought Burt and Hal were together, but I guess they were not. I was wrong, Mea culpa! My honey just enlightened me! : (

Still, I will always love his music. <3
