His voice comes from heaven, and he has been a legend in the international music industry for the last forty plus years, with over 150 million records sold. Some of the evergreen hits that belong to Engelbert include:(Please) Release Me, After The Lovin, Spanish Eyes, The Last Waltz, Am I That Easy To Forget , There Goes My Everything, Les Bicyclettes de Belsize, Winter World Of Love, This Moment In Time, Cant Take My Eyes Off You and the unforgettable Quando, Quando, Quando. Engelbert Humperdinck has recorded everything from the most romantic ballads to the platinum-selling theme song Lesbian Seagull for the latest Beavis and Butthead movie. His remarkable voice and extraordinary talent has endeared him to millions of fans around the globe with the MTV generation having just discovered what a magnificent musician the rest of the world has celebrated for decades. Few people realize that several of the major forces in the world of rock n roll, including Jimi Hendrix and The Carpenters, started out as opening acts for Humperdinck in the late60s, 70’s and 80s. Lets not forget Humperdinck taking #1 away from the Beatles, as well. In 1999 “Humper” recorded The Dance Album as his first album in the dance genre. Released by the red-hot dance label Interhit Records, the album featured newly recorded dance versions of six of Engelberts greatest hits, along with five original songs. Favorites such as Quando, Quando, Quando and Release Me are set to an infectious dance beat by dance producer/ remixers Chris Cox and Barry Harris, known collectively as Thunderpuss 2000. The album has enjoyed tremendous success, with Release Me hitting Top Ten in the Billboard Dance charts. Says Billboard magazine of The Dance Album: ...brilliantly cool...one of the most fun pop/dance albums of the decade. With four Grammy nominations, a Golden Globe for Entertainer of the Year (1988), 63 gold and 24 platinum records and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Humperdinck might rest easy on his laurels. Hardly. In the past few years, he has joined in elite group of musical artists, such as Tony Bennett and Burt Bacharach, who have crossed over successfully to strike a new chord with a younger generation, in addition to their core audiences. The Humper has appeared on several MTV programs, including two appearances on MTV Beach House, Chilling with the Weaze and Oddville. Englbrt Humperdinck website: https://engelbert/
