Engelbert Humperdinck Explodes Across Las Vegas Show Rooms
Engelbert came into this world as George Dorsey, one of ten
siblings. His father served in the British military and his
mother taught music. At age 17, he entered a talent competition
doing impersonations. He won first prize and combined singing
with impersonations in his stage act. To this day, Engelbert
continues to delight his audience with impersonations.
Engelbert exploded into the British music scene with The
Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dusty Springfield and Tom Jones. Before
long "the British invasion" hit the United States and the rest
of the world, changing the music industry forever.
Engelbert has sold well over 130 million records, including 64
gold and 23 platinum. He is in the Guinness Book of World
Records achieving 56 consecutive weeks in the charts with
Release Me which shot to number one in eleven countries, selling
15 million worldwide.
With four Grammy nominations, a Golden Globe for Entertainer of
the Year and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Engelbert has
performed with some of the greatest entertainers. One of his
closet friends was Elvis Presley. The two legends often
performed each other's songs and they enjoyed a wonderful
friendship.
Some of Engelbert's greatest hits include There Goes My
Everything, The Last Waltz, A Man Without Love, Am I That Easy
To Forget, Winter World of Love, The Way It Used To Be, Quando
Quando Quando and Spanish Eyes.
In his illustrious career he has performed for the Queen of
England, several Presidents of the United States and many Heads
of State.
I Want To Wake Up With You is a current album on release in
Europe and Definition of Love has just been released in the
United States. Few people realize that some of the major forces
in the world of rock n' roll, including Jimi Hendrix and The
Carpenters, started out as opening acts for Englebert.
