The magic of Burt Bacharach and Hal David is interpreted by the magic of Alicia Keys.

❤️

Homage takes it deeper

A beautiful version of a classic sung by a very talented lady.

DIVA!!!!

Maravilhosa

❤❤❤❤😊

I'm almost embarrassed for Alicia Keys, messing up such a classic song, with her inferior voice. She may have some talents, but singing is not one of them. If she were in Fantasia's body, with that voice, she would have never seen the inside of a recording studio.

Just gorgeous. So soulful.

A horrible rendition of a great song.

Alicia est prodigieuse de sesibilite, d émotion.Elle sait transmettre avec son âme et ses tripes tout ce qu elle ressent. Pour notre plus grand bonheur❤❤❤

Way to go, Alicia Keys. Playing piano AND singing this classic with so much feeling. Wonderful! A bit of history: The original 1964 version belongs to Dionne Warwick. And it is that version that Vandross fell in love with. As a youngster in the 60s, he was such an admirer of Dionne Warwick that later on in interviews he repeatedly gave her credit for inspiring him to become a singer himself. Later in life, they became good friends and collaborators. He even produced DW's 1983 "How Many times Can We Say Goodbye" album on the ARISTA label. Vandross covered a few of DW's early Scepter-era recordings. Interestingly this song was written for a film of the same name. Even though Dionne Warwick is believed to have recorded this song first, Brook Benton also recorded a version conducted and arranged by Burt Bacharach around the same time. It was Brook Benton's version that appears in the film. Both versions enjoyed commercial success in the States and beyond back in 1963-64. However, Luther Vandross' 1981 version with his soulful, contemporary interpretation breathed new life into this classic taking it to the top of the R&B charts. It's now one of the most beloved R&B ballads of all time.

baby baby

Gostei muito do arranjo e da interpretação da Alicia.

nada a hacer con Luther Vandross. Es una cancin classica de Burt Bacarach.

OMG 😃 amazing 😍❤️

Ms.Mavis Staples version.... I've never read a comment about!! Dionne Warwick originally / first recorded this Classic. However everybody and their Moma knows that Luther ( May he R.I.P.) knocked this song out of the ballpark!!!!! And mostly all others who have performed have( after Luther's version.... have done it ....Luther style. That being said Ms. Warwick recorded this song in 1964....Ms.Staples recorded this song in 1969. When I first heard Ms.Staples version on the radio....I went to the Record Shop( which is what we called it back in the day) and purchased the 45rpm record. I am a huge fan of Ms.Warwick...huge!! Luther's vocals were/ are jawdropping!! In my most humble opinion....Ms.Mavis Staple' a version is very Soulful....she covered this song and slaaayed it ....as well!!!!

Beautiful 👍👍👍

BBB b b. B

She sing it beautifully. But the problem is you already heard the version of Dionne Warwick and Dusty Springfield and also Tamyra grey from american idol

When the very best of all time , Luther has killed this. Leave it. You cannot improve on perfection

I'm shocked by how off key. Never heard Alicia like this. Depresses me.

O. M. G! 👌👏👏👏💕🙏

The best song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how anyone would dare touch 'a house is not a home' after Luther Vandross is beyond me. I've heard Alicia Keys, many times before, but on this performance she is flat...quite a few times actually. You don't have to have a tremendous ear to hear it

Do you realize you can have a mini concert, at home, just listening to the many artists who wanted to perform this great song, including people from other countries you never heard of, and so many of them are soo good, but in different ways. Alicia, Dusty, Whitney, from Idol Jacob and Tamyra, Gladys Night, version from "Glee" and Luther of course and so many more. The song writer should feel pretty damn good about this one.

Listening to this I have to again ask one of the eternal questions of my life--- "Who does Burt Bacaharach need to fu6% to FINALLY get a Kennedy Center Honor?"

dusty Springfield, dellaSara Vaughn, Della Reese.....everyone's fav is gonna differ....for me...it's luther...

Luther sang this song so well that I don't think anyone else will ever attempt to cover the song ever again.

I think a lot of y'all in the comments don't understand how hard it is to play piano and sing at the same time. i bet it's untalented motherfuckers commenting on how she did a bad job when y'all couldn't do half as well lol

Sorry, but the Glee version is the best. There is most emotion!

Totally agree with Bubble o seven. Total Crap!!!!

Alicia Keys is surely one of the best singers and she did a good job here. Dusty Springfield's version is great too.

I think she did a wonderful job. I like Dusty Springfield s version better myself but she did a great job .

Makes me laugh when people try to criticize a phenomenal artist, for a phenomenal performance. She was born with musical talent and skills, beyond what most everyone in the world will ever achieve, yet those untalented people with I am sure little to no musical ability or talent think they know how this should be done or that "don't ever sing this song again". That is the most ridiculous comment I have ever heard. This was beautifully done. I have explicit reasons for saying that too. Not just conjecture. For example, she chose an arrangement that contained a full array of sounds and instruments. This not only appeals more to the masses, but for the setting, where it is being held and how she is dressed all comes together. Second, she doesn't start off with a bunch of runs, which most singers make the mistake of doing. This is a very sad song and should be done in that fashion, especially coming from a female singing voice. She then adds on some playfull licks at the end, which is an homage to not only Luther, but others. Her voice holds true all the way thru the entire song and then ends classy. Well, well done!! Now you may not like the version, or specifics of her performance (which those who are criticizing never point out because they do not know what they are talking about), but this was truly a great performance.

Wow... I love Alicia Keys but this is a terrible cover of a beautiful song. This was "NOT" a good song choice.

Lindo!

Amazingly different and unique......you're gorgeous Alicia!!!!

I think dusty springfield sang it the best ever

Love it. She has an old soul.

This song is way too well written and far to intelligent to be made into the hullabaloo that comes out of Alicia Keys mouth. Keys is a fantastic artist, but this version is musically lazy. I had hoped that she would have stayed true to the actual melody and not done what so many other artists do - scales up and down pretending to give it soul

Sorry, like Luther she has strayed to far away from the creators intentions!

Sloppy? Boy someone knows nothing about music. She nothing but skillful with her runs at the right moments. Regardless, amazing how Dionne gets no credit for such a great singer. I guess must be either young kids or clueless.

Nice, but nobody sings it like Sarah Vaughn!

She does have a lovely voice, and uses it very well here, with a lot of feeling, and of course playing simultaneously...it's nice to hear her when she is does not try to reach outside of her range.

Nice. Also check out the version by Barbra Streisand.

Naah man...I think that this is a very difficult song to sing,in consideration of tha fact that is a song for a man,and what a man,one of the best voices ever(in my opinion the best)...she made a good performance though

trop belle chanson karma genial grandiose alicia keys

it wasn't bad... worth a crack.. it wasn't better than Luther's version... the original is amazign in its own right... but my preferred version is Luther's

@emmettk Actually it was originally written for the Broadway show Promises, Promises, then Dionne Warwick recorded it.
