Engelbert- Quando,Quando,Quando Casino Rama

Engelbert Humperdinck performs Quando Quando Quando at Casino Rama, Orillia, ON, Thursday Nov 13/08.


40 years ago the American public became aware of a singer with the unusual name of Engelbert Humperdinck.

Born Arnold George Dorsey in Madras, India, the son of a British engineer and the youngest boy in a family of ten children, he moved to England at the age of 10. Growing up, he wanted to be a bandleader. But, things went in a different direction and, at 17, he sang on a public stage for the first time. At this point, he decided to use the name Gerry Dorsey as his professional name and he became quite popular working around the United Kingdom until his progress was interrupted by a stint in the military. He returned and picked up where he had left off but a bout with tuberculosis took him out of the scene again. When he was finally ready to re-start his career again, at the suggestion of his manager, he decided it would be a good idea to re-emerge with a new image and, thus, Engelbert Humperdinck was born.

Dubbed musics King Of Romance, the multiple Grammy nominee with the ultra-smooth three and one half octave range has sold over 150 million records worldwide, including 64 gold and 24 platinum albums and is currently marking four decades since he first entered the American pop charts with his smash hit Release Me (And Let Me Love Again). The song went to # 1 in eleven countries and it was so big in the United Kingdom that it managed to prevent The Beatles two-sided hit Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever from reaching the top of the charts.

The next decade brought such hits as After the Lovin, Winter World Of Love, Am I That Easy To Forget, The Last Waltz, There Goes My Everything, Les Bicyclettes De Belsize and A Man Without Love. He has now recorded almost 80 albums including many multi-language versions.

This singer extraordinaire, whose music is instantly recognizable, has withstood the test of time with his sensitive interpretation of lyrics. But he has never limited himself to just one genre having recorded everything from movie themes to disco, rock and even gospel. He is also extremely proud of the fact that he has been able to use his fame to help raise funds for numerous charitable causes.

Engelbert has performed for Her Majesty the Queen, several Presidents and many heads of state.

I agree Molly, his hair looks darker than in Vegas, but it could be the lights. Guess he can't say hes going back to his roots in the show anymore.

[charlett35]

still unsure of his hair color yet but as always he has aged like a fine wine.

Wonderful.

I was at the concert on the 14th.

His voice was magnificent. Definitely the best Engelbert show I've seen.

He is aging like a fine wine ... had the crowd in the palm of his hand all night long.

I'd love to see more clips if you have them.

Thanks for posting.
