Great link. It looks like an excerpt from "This is Now" BBC TV Special.

So far, no one has mentioned Dee Dee Warwick's version of "Alfie". It is truly a great recording and has a true feeling of sophistication and class! I still listen to her version and don't even think about doing comparisons because she takes this song and makes it her very own, not trying to imitate her sister's version.
