That video clip is from one of her tv shows or specials in the 70s, but I don't know which one, aussie. She was all over the tv set back then and sang it often.
Cher originally sang the song (with some tweaks to the arrangement by Sonny Bono) for the closing credits of the move "Alfie" in 1966; the American release of the movie. It was featured on her 1966 album "Cher".
Cilla Black sang it for the original British release of the movie, with the song's composer Burt Bacharach playing on it for her.
Then, Bacharach gave it to his favored vocal interpreter Dionne Warwick. Dionne's version was the most successful of the three popularity-wise; a big radio hit in 1967.
And, that's what it's all about...
