We lost Burt this week. Few people have ever written a song like this. Very complex music - key and tempo changes - and beautiful words by Hal David

This story is in three parts

Here’s Burt explaining why Alfie is his favorite.

Here’s the recording session at Abbey Road’s famous Studio One (cameo by George Martin)

Here’s Cilla Black, from Liverpool - (before Autotune)…take 28

Others have sung it…… Cilla owns it.
