Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

Every time I hear this song Alfie, I think of Ralphie.  It sounds like it's being sung to me, and I take it personally. But aside from that, I think it's a very beautiful song, and one that demonstrates the immense musical genius of Burt Bacharach, whom I think is one of the greatest songwriters of the second half of the 20th century.
