I picked up this as a CD single recently for a quid.
I assumed that it was a title of the single was also that of an album of the same name but apparently not.
It seems to be pretty sought after -6 quid plus on Amazon and 8 on Discogs
The first song Some Lovers is the Christmas one and features the man himself. It is a Burt Bacharach and Steven Sater number and is the title song of the musical of the same name.
Confession time now - although obviously very familiar with the song Alfie I was totally unaware that it was a Bacharach and David song until now.And also a better version than Cilla!
Lovely stuff
Rumer - Some Lovers
Rumer - Alfie
This is the perfect post for me at Christmas - Thanks CC.
ReplyDeleteYou might remember that I originally named my blog What's It All About, Alfie? as an homage to Bacharach and David (all of whose songs I adore). Also I love Karen Carpenter's voice and Rumer sounds very similar indeed so here we have a double whammy! A quid well spent I would say.
Both of these are stunners, CC. Spare change well spent.
ReplyDeleteShe has a good voice CC. I wish the stuff that was highly sought after by me was 8 quid but you did indeed get yourself a bargain.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Rumer has the voice Cilla wishes she had.
