From the soundtrack of "Alfie," the Bacharach/David title song had a checkered history. This version by Cher from the closing credits barely made the Top 40, while the bigger hit by Dionne Warwick (which wasn't in the film) wouldn't appear for another nine months. Yet another version for the British movie release became a hit in the UK, done by Dionne's nemesis Cilla Black. The flick was remade in the early 2000's with Cher recording an updated theme. It was pulled from the new soundtrack and her effort was replaced by Joss Stone after audiences at advance screenings broke out in uncontrollable laughter.
