Dionne Warwick Alfie 1967 Grammy Hall of Fame 2008
Alfie, from the 1966 Michael Caine classic, was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and was an Adacemy Award nominee for Best Song From A Motion Picture for 1966 (Born Free, the title track from the film of the same name, won). Bacharach wrote the tune with Warwick specifically in mind, but when the tune was pitched for the movie in London, Bacharach was overridden because the producers wanted a British singer to record the tune. Cilla Black recorded the tune and her version died at number 95 in the USA, although a hit in England. Ironically, Cilla's version was not used in the UK and European prints of the film; Sonny Rollins is heard in Australian prints of the film. When the film was released in the USA, United Artists felt a singer on their label should record the tune, so for the American prints of the film, Cher can be heard over the final credits, and her version peaked at 34 on the charts in 1966. Alfie was recorded by 42 other singers before Burt finally got his wish to record Alfie with Dionne and she took it all the way to # 5 on Billboard's Hot R&B Chart and #15 on Billboard's Hot 100. Dionne has stated Burt insisted that she record the tune since he had written it specifically for her to sing in the film, and she was reluctant after 42 other versions had been released and asked Burt, "How many more recordings of Alfie do you need?" Burt's reply? "Just one more, yours." She agreed to cut the tune because she needed one more track to complete the album <b>...</b>

CILLA BLACK-ALFIE. CONDUCTED BY BURT BACHARACH MUSIC BY BURT BACHARACH--- lyrics written by Hal David --((orginal recording)) recorded at abbey studios 65 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's 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.

Distributed by: © Paramount Pictures. Theatrical Release Date: March, 1966 (UK) Niceties by: www.youtube.com Synopsis! "Alfie" is a 1966 British film starring Michael Caine. It is an adaptation by Bill Naughton of his own novel and play of the same name. The film was released by Paramount Pictures. Plot! The films begins with Alfie Elkins (Caine) ending a relationship with a married woman and getting another of his affairs pregnant. The film then follows his life for a few years, documenting events that lead to the character's emotional growth starting with the birth of his child. Watching his child grow brings out a more caring side of Alfie, including his having a health check in case of hereditary diseases, but his inability to commit to the child's mother leads to her marrying a bus conductor. The health check reveals Alfie has shadows on his lungs. This combined with being banned from seeing his son leads him to have a small breakdown. Alfie then spends some time in a convalescence home. Here he meets Harry, who confronts him about his delusion that he is doing no harm, and Harry's wife, whom he gets pregnant in a one-night stand. The subsequent abortion is a turning point for the character and the only time other than his passing out/breakdown where he exhibits real emotion - breaking down in tears at <b>...</b>

This comes from a British documentary on Burt Bacharach - sadly now only existent on kinescope - and yours truly dubbed the ACTUAL record that was being made onto the soundtrack (sorry it's a bit scratchy at the start) giving us a unique look into an historic event.

Alfie (1966)- fragmento monólogo final - subtitulado
monólogo del personaje Alfie. Michael Caine. Me encanta esta película. Alfie: "You know what? When I look back on my little life and the birds I've known, and think of all the things they've done for me and the little I've done for them, you'd think I've had the best of it along the line. But what have I got out of it? I've got a bob or two, some decent clothes, a car, I've got me health back and I ain't attached. But I ain't got me peace of mind - and if you ain't got that, you ain't got nothing. I dunno. It seems to me if they ain't got you one way they've got you another. So what's the answer? That's what I keep asking myself - what's it all about? Know what I mean?"

I've been staying at my friend Matt's house and as I'm not paying rent, he insisted I sing a song by way of compensation. He lined up a karaoke version of 'Nessun Dorma' and this is what happened. I would like to apologise to Mr Pavarotti and Matt would like to apologise to anyone offended by his moobs. @alfieboe @realmattlucas You can pre order Alfie Boe's new album "Bring Him Home" on Amazon www.amazon.co.uk

Alfie Kohn on Feel-Bad Education
www.beacon.org Mind-opening writing on what kids need from school, from one of education's most outspoken voices Arguing that our schools are currently in the grip of a "cult of rigor"-a confusion of harder with better that threatens to banish both joy and meaningful intellectual inquiry from our classrooms-Alfie Kohn issues a stirring call to rethink our priorities and reconsider our practices. Kohn's latest wide-ranging collection of writings will add to his reputation as one of the most incisive thinkers in the field, who questions the assumptions too often taken for granted in discussions about education and human behavior. In nineteen recently published essays-and in a substantive introduction, new for this volume-Kohn repeatedly invites us to think more deeply about the conventional wisdom. Is self-discipline always desirable? he asks, citing surprising evidence to the contrary. Does academic cheating necessarily indicate a moral failing? Might inspirational posters commonly found on school walls ("Reach for the stars!") reflect disturbing assumptions about children? Could the use of rubrics for evaluating student learning prove counterproductive? Subjecting young children to homework, grades, or standardized tests-merely because these things will be required of them later-reminds Kohn of Monty Python's "getting hit on the head lessons." And, with tongue firmly in cheek, he declares that we should immediately begin teaching twenty-second-century skills. Whether Kohn <b>...</b>

We hope to record a real music video like this one day! :) NOT TO BLAME by Harry & Alfie Hudson-Taylor Lyrics: So now, let's look back See what we've done And it all worked out In the long run And it's not your fault That I'm not there But, you should be happy Oh, That I don't care. You say I'm not to blame.. You say it's a different story But I won't listen when you tell me, NO! I can say, I had a hell of a time But in my way I've learned to face the crime And all of the days that you cease to amaze that the everyday things And what everyday brings to your mind And everyday I still find the pleasure was always mine CHORUS You say I'm not to blame.. You say it's a different story But I won't listen when you tell me, But I won't listen when you tell me, NO! Ohoohoohoohooh etc. CHORUS (again) You say I'm not to blame.. You say it's a different story But I won't listen when you tell me But I won't listen when you tell me But I won't listen when you tell me, NO! (thanks to Tríona for those) Lots of Love, Harry & Alfie x
