Engelbert Humperdinck at Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair

Engelbert Humperdinck rather had a rough start in the biz as his first single "I'll Never Fall in Love Again", released under his real name Gerry Dorsey, was a dismal flop. He continued, persevered, and met the right people and the right manager who started 'revamping' his career, starting with a name change — Engelbert Humperdinck. And who would've thought the in the midst of the neverending chart-topping phenomenon called Beatlemania, Humperdinck's new single "Release Me" would be that song that would break the fab four's reign of number one's on the charts? Indeed, "Release Me" zoomed-up the top spot in no time at all. From then on, Humperdinck was well on his way to iconic status. More smash singles like "The Last Waltz", "After the Lovin'", "This Moment in Time", and so much more, solidified his reputation and credibiity as a hit-maker who have sold 140 million records worldwide, and still counting. He is a bankable concert star drawing crowds in large scale venues all over the world.
