About
Alf is the debut solo studio album of British singer/songwriter Alison Moyet, her first since leaving 80s electro-pop duo Yazoo (also known as Yaz). Released in November 1984, the album, which took its title from the singer's nickname, went to #1 on the UK album charts and includes three hit singles; "Love Resurrection", "Invisible" and "All Cried Out". The summer of 1985 saw the release of the non-album single "That Ole Devil Called Love", originally performed by Billie Holiday in the 1940s, in some European territories followed by a remixed version of "For You Only". In 2006, "Love Resurrection" appeared in the popular video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The song can be heard on a fictional Pop/Rock/New Wave radio station called Flash FM.
