Engelbert Humperdinck’s first mega-hit Release Me went to number one in eleven countries followed by the huge success of The Last Waltz. His career in the ‘70s was punctuated by a steady stream of hits including the Grammy nominated After the Lovin’, and other great hits including Quando-Quando-Quando, Winter World Of Love, Am I That Easy To Forget, There Goes My Everything, Les Bicyclettes De Belsize and A Man Without Love.

Engelbert Humperdinck’s music has withstood the test of time thanks to his sensitive interpretation of lyrics. Not limiting himself to just one genre, he has recorded everything from pop to disco, rock and gospel. His inimitable three-and-a–half octave range and ultra smooth onstage charisma won over fans of every generation and has made him one of the world’s most instantly recognized voices.

It has been an amazing journey for the man born Arnold George Dorsey in Madras, India, the youngest of ten children. His family returned to England when Engelbert Humperdinck was ten. From an early age, he had a passion for music and took saxophone lessons, all the while dreaming of being a bandleader. After a stint in the military in his late teens, at the suggestion of his then-manager, Gordon Mills, Humperdinck decided to reinvent himself with a new, mysterious image. This led to a new name - that of the noted 19th century German composer of such classic operas as Hansel and Gretel. Thus was born the phenomenon known as Engelbert Humperdinck. 

The legacy of love between Engelbert Humperdinck and his audience continues as an unstoppable force. He remains the consummate global entertainer, a rare example of unequaled style and sophistication. He continues to perform for sold out audiences and his millions of fans all over the world. The demand for his music is so strong he recorded many multi-language versions of his most popular songs. With each day he continues to seek out and conquer new creative challenges, designed to keep his fans surprised, satisfied and eager to come back for more.
