Over 100 Dionne Warwick tracks with rare photos on Dibotis' Dionne Warwick Channel. Check them out! 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. Originally released on the Here Where There Is Love LP in early 1967, the track was pulled from the album and played frequently by DJs all over the country. Dionne sang Alfie at the Academy Awards Ceremony in March to a world wide audience to much critical acclaim and the public began snap up her LP containing the tune. In March 1967 Scepter released the tune as the "B" side of The Beginning of Loneliness, a little known but beautiful Bacharach/David ballad. But, DJ's once again had the final word on the single and flipped it to make Alfie a huge hit, after Dionne's stunning performance of Alfie at the Academy Awards. The Here Where There Is Love LP hit the top twenty on the Billboard album chart and received an RIAA gold record award.

*Anime Boston 2007: Best Action Video Nominee* THIS VIDEO IS PURELY FAN-MADE AND IS IN NO WAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE MUSICAL ARTIST OR ANIME COMPANY IN ANY WAY. *Update [5/01/07]: Forsaken is now available for download!* You can download a very high quality version of my AMV here: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=143277 PLEASE DO NOT RE-POST THIS VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. :) I will be very grateful if no one does that. Reposts = bad. Thanks and enjoy! The idea of this video was in my mind for weeks after listening to Forsaken by Within Temptation one day. It just hit me: The lyrics almost seem to be written specifically for the movie. The song and video are about destruction of human kind as well as the whole planet due to greed and sadness. It's about technology, new developments, how people are feeling forgotten due to everyone else's desire for power, and how the world is turning into something completely different and dying right in front of everyone's eyes. Special thanks to ZelosWilder & Tasuki for help with converting and giving me support, Adam Ferraro for giving me the opportunity to be in the contest and answering e-mails from me, all the contest viewers and also to ALL of the INCREDIBLE AMV makers out there that got me into AMV making myself. Thanks to all! I hope you enjoy the video, even though YouTube's conversion resulted in much quality loss, cut effects, and somewhat off timing. Those who want to download a very high quality version of this video can go to the link above. :) Here are the lyrics to Forsaken by Within Temptation: Now the day has come. We are forsaken this time. We lived our lives in our paradise, As gods we shaped the world around. No borderlines we'd stay behind, Though balance is something fragile. While we thought we were gaining, We'd turn back the tide, it still slips away. Our time has run out, our future has died, There's no more escape. Now the day has come, We are forsaken, There's no time anymore. Life will pass us by, We are forsaken, We're the last of our kind. The sacrifice was much too high, Our greed just made us all go blind. We tried to hide what we feared inside. Today is the end of tomorrow. As the sea started rising, The land that we conquered just washed away. Although we all have tried to turn back the tide, It was all in vain. Now the day has come, We are forsaken, There's no time anymore. Life will pass us by,we are forsaken, Only ruins stay behind. Now the day has come. We are forsaken this time. Now the day has come, We are forsaken, There's no time anymore. Now the day has come. The day has come. The day has come.
