ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK

Engelbert Humperdinck is perhaps one of the best British ballad singers from the 1960s. His singles ‘The Last Waltz’ and ‘Release Me’ have sold over one million copies each and topped the UK charts in 1967. Engelbert’s chart success also stretched to America. His 1976 tracks, ‘This Moment In Time’ and ‘After The Lovin’ were warmly received and got plenty of airtime. In total, Engelbert Humperdinck has sold an astonishing 150 million records worldwide. Engelbert showed a keen interest in music from a very young age. Taking up saxophone lessons, he would practice in his room persistently for days on end. Ultimately, his perseverance was rewarded when he was given the opportunity to play in nightclubs in the early 50s. As for his voice, he did not discover this until he was seventeen. After performing a Jerry Lewis impression at a pub contest, his passion for singing was born. By 1958, at the age of 22, he was given the opportunity to record with Decca Records. Engelbert’s very first single to drop from this label was called, ‘I’ll Never Fall In Love Again’ and was the start of a long and fruitful relationship with the company. Since then, Engelbert Humperdinck has enjoyed a stellar career, performing concert tours of the world and singing alongside legends like Elton John, Il Divo, Lulu, Willie Nelson, Olivia Newton-John, Cliff Richard, Smokey Robinson, Kenny Rogers, Gene Simmons and Dionne Warwick. .
