In the movie 'Alfie' there is a scene where Jude Law and Susan
Sarandon make love after drinking absinthe. During that scene there is
a live song in the background, do you know the name of the song and
who sings it?

Thanks!!!...

I believe the song you want is "The Beat Goes On," as performed by the
Buddy Rich Big Band. The vocalist was Buddy Rich's 12-year-old
daughter, Cathy Rich.

You can listen to a clip here:

Please let me know if this is the correct song.

I am glad to have been able to help you identify your song. As
mentioned above, it is a cover of "The Beat Goes On" by the Buddy Rich
Big Band, with Buddy's 12-year-old daughter Cathy as the vocalist.

If you'd like to buy the song on CD, the Buddy Rich collection "Big
Swing Face" is a great album at a great price:

Amazon: Big Swing Face

You can also buy this version of "The Beat Goes On" as a single, from
iTunes and other online services. If you look for the single, be sure
to check the artist's name to verify that it's the Buddy Rich version:
this song has been recorded by several other groups (most famously by
Sonny & Cher).

Best regards,
