Here are sevaral songs performed by the great singer Engelbert Humperdinck.
Engelbert Humperdinck (born Arnold George Dorsey in 1936 – the name Engelbert Humperdinck, is borrowed from the German 19th-century composer of operas such as Hansel and Gretel) is an English pop singer. He is best known for his songs Release me and The last waltz, both singles topping the UK music charts in 1967 and selling in large enough numbers to help the singer achieve "the rare feat of scoring two million sellers in one year." In North America, he is also known for his 1976 hit single After the lovin'. Humperdinck is regarded by music critics to be "one of the finest middle-of-the-road balladeers around." He has sold more than 150 million records worldwide.
For six months in 1969-1970, Humperdinck fronted his own television series The Engelbert Humperdinck Show for ATV in the UK, and ABC in the US. In this musical variety show, the singer was joined by some of the most popular and legendary figures then active in entertainment, including Paul Anka, Shirley Bassey, Tony Bennett, Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Ray Charles, Four Tops, Lena Horne, Liberace, Lulu, Carmen McRae, Dusty Springfield, Jack Jones, Tom Jones and Dionne Warwick.
In 1972, he starred in his own BBC Television series Engelbert with the young generation on BBC1 which ran for thirteen weeks, featuring the dance troupe and regular guests The Goodies and Marlene Charell, as well as international guests.
Humperdinck's current recording project is a new studio album of duets. The double-CD, Engelbert calling, was released in the UK on 17 March 2014 by Conehead Records, and charted in the UK Top-40. The album finds the singer in duets with such musicians as Charles Aznavour, Elton John, Johnny Mathis, Lulu, Willie Nelson, Olivia Newton-John, Cliff Richard, Smokey Robinson, Kenny Rogers, Neil Sedaka, Ron Sexsmith, Gene Simmons, and Dionne Warwick, among others. On January 13, 2016, Humperdinck performed for a sold out show in The Villages.
In 2006, the University of Leicester awarded Humperdinck with an Honorary Doctorate of Music. On 25 February 2009, Leicester City Council announced that Humperdinck would be given the Honorary Freedom of Leicester. In 2010, Humperdinck was one of the first nine people to be honored with a plaque on the Leicester Walk of Fame.
