The song was a major hit for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cilla_Black" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">Cilla Black</a> (UK) and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionne_Warwick" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">Dionne Warwick</a> (US).At the 10th Annual Grammy Awards in 1968, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burt_Bacharach" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">Burt Bacharach</a> won the Grammy for Best Instrumental ArrangementAlthough 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 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfie_(1966_film)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">Alfie</a> (a release from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramount_Pictures" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">Paramount Pictures</a>, 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 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockney" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">Cockney</a> womanizer played by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Caine" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">Michael Caine</a>. 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 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-sharp_major" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">F-sharp major</a>, but Bacharach usually plays it live in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-flat_major" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">B-flat major</a>, the same key in which <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cilla_Black" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">Cilla Black</a> recorded it. "Alfie" would not become a Top 15 hit in the US until the spring and summer of 1967 when <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionne_Warwick" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">Dionne Warwick</a>, the most prolific interpreter of Bacharach/David compositions and the composers' original choice, recorded the song. Warwick's version peaked to #15 on the Billboard Hot 100, #5 on the Billboard R&B Singles Chart and #10 on the Canadian Singles Chart. Introduced on the December 1966 album release <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Where_There_Is_Love" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">Here Where There Is Love</a>, Warwick's version of "Alfie" had been an impromptu addition to a recording session at A&R Studio in New York City whose scheduled tracks had been completed early; Scepter Records <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26R" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">A&R</a> man <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Tyrell" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">Steve Tyrell</a> suggested to Burt Bacharach that the booked time remaining be put to use by having Warwick record a version of "Alfie". Warwick, though feeling it pointless to increase the song's massive cover version count (there were by then some forty-two recorded versions of the song), was persuaded to record the song, cutting her vocal in a single take.
