No one can even begin to touch Enge's vocal prowess. He is the best of all.

Interesting video. Thank you.

I had to be one of the squarist teenagers of my generation because I liked and listened to Englebert Humperdinck. I argued with a roommate once, you don't have to like his style or songs but you can't deny his gift.

The man is simply a vocal genius, truly one of the greatest talents there will ever be.

He has a voice that can be recognized instantly. Alway loved this singer.

EH's technique - a perfect blend of operatic training mixed with the full-voiced pop-style of the times - is flawless. He and Tom Jones were a kind of bridge between '50s Elvis and '80s Freddie Mercury. All of them, true singers and performers.

I was just 5 years old sitting at my mom's stereo speaker listening to Englebert and I had memorised The Last Waltz at that age, I am now 60 years old and I still know the song. I could listen to him for days, I still have that album still in good playing condition!! There is not another singer like him in all the world.

I wish music was still like this. Where we had people with real talent. No auto tune needed. Thanks for doing these Fil.

Engelbert once said “I can hit notes a bank could not cash.” He is an amazing singer who could sing anything. Another excellent video Fil!

When I first heard this wonderful man's voice, I knew he was different from the rest. Our dear Engelbert's voice is totally amazing, when singing he carries you through a romantic movie that begans and ends in one single song. WOW! What talent that only God grants. I am so happy to be one of a million fans of our dear Engelbert. He is awesome.❤❤

How I wish this style of music still existed. Singers such as Tom Jones, Elvis, Sinatra, Bennett, and Humperdinck were amazing and the songs/lyrics were written specifically for great talents such as these. They created a sensual atmosphere with their voices that carried you away with a sigh and a smile.

My family favourite for more than 40 years. Thanks

I listened to Engelbert. I didn't go out an buy any records, I was a Rock fan. But I would listen to Engelbert. Great talent.

Engelbert and Tom Jones are 2 the absolute greatest voices you will ever hear in a life time. They don't make them like that anymore.

Engelbert seemingly fell off the face of the earth, but what actually happened, was that he pretty much gave up his career to care for his Very Ill wife. He made a major sacrifice for love. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I’ve always marveled how effortlessly the way he sings and the distinctive sound he has. A master singer for sure!

Engelbert recorded the best version of "Aquarius/Let the sunshine in" that I've ever heard.

To me Engel, TomJones, Patsy were the best vocalist of my life time and I have been blessed to have heard them

Engelbert was one of the best. His range was unmatched by any other baritone singer.

Engelbert is one of the great crooners with such a smooth relaxing voice. His career has spanned almost 7 decades. His first hit song was "Release Me" in 1967. He has had many great songs including "The Last Waltz", There Goes My Everything", "Am I That Easy To Forget", "A Man Without Love", "After the Lovin'", "Les Bicyclettes de Belsize", "Winter World Of Love", "This Moment In Time", "Love Will Set You Free", "Quando, Quando, Quando" etc.

What a voice, have always enjoyed listening to him, a particular fave is After The Loving

Hi! Engelbert enjoyed your review of his isolated vocals. He posted your review on his throwback website on KZfaq. Nice!

I’ll never understand why he is only celebrated by people of a “certain vintage”. He blows most modern artists out of the park. There’s more to great music that’s the day’s top 20. Immerse yourself in it all. Some of my favourite artists were performing before I was born. Shirley Jones, Edith Piaf, Ella Fitzgerald etc.

Note around 5:59 how accurate those high notes are: "When we are *far* apart, *or* when you're near me". 2 very short pitch peaks in a row, dead on, right on the line. I always knew he has a helluva voice, but this gives me a greater appreciation of his extraordinary singing. Much appreciated.

Still get chills hearing him sing. Gorgeous, sexy beyond words and a voice that supersedes all. Thank you for this video Fil. Made my day.

I am in awe of this analysis it’s amazing! The beauty of his unique voice is that it’s been with him since birth♥️ Engelbert was blessed with a golden set of vocal chords which made him God’s gift to the world♥️ Engelbert is a timeless talent♥️

A great performance. He had a voice that knocked any crooner out of the window. This is a real singer not someone who tried to get away, with singing a handful of notes. Fabulous video Fin.

His voice is just so rich and passionate. I had an Englebert Humperdinck phase as a kid, I was kinda weird lol

He had a fantastic voice. 🎶🎶. Really like that you analyze both the music (like Roy Clark’s and Glen Campbell’s guitar mastery)and the voices. And, many of them from back in the day.

I listened to Engelbert when I was a teenager. My parents had this music, in stereo, all throughout our home. I fell in love with his voice in the early 70’s. When I grew up and married, I bought 3 tickets for his concert. I took my parents to Music Hall in Cincinnati, Ohio. We were all trilled. He’s brilliant ❤️

Engelbert Humperdinck can draw you into his performances with his effortlessly vocal style. Fil your analysis always enhances what we been listening to for years. 😊👍

Amazing detailed look at his vocal range. That explains how he can sing any genre beautifully. 💝💜🎶☀️☀️☀️

I took my mother to one of his concerts for her birthday years ago. I thought I would hate it. I actually really enjoyed his performance. You never know.

I didn't become a fan back in the day. But after watching this analysis I have a whole new appreciation for his voice. I actually got emotional listening to him. Thanks, Fil!

Great to see your comment Engelbert Humperdinck.

That was the first concert I ever went to as a very very little kid on a trip to Atlantic City with my parents and I just remember the woman next to me loosing her mind and how glamorous the show was and yes all the performance sounded just as good as that!!

Great analysis of my all-time favourite "crooner"! Thanks!!

Engel just turned 88 and he’s still performing. In fact I think he has a tour coming up very soon in Canada. He only stopped performing during Covid. He contracted Covid as did his wife Patricia who was already suffering from Alzheimer’s. She passed from Covid in February of 2021.

Always had an amazing voice. He could hit notes that no one else could! ❤️

This is amazing ,absolutely beautiful .ENGE is one in a million .This review is fantastic.Thank you 💕

He is an awesome singer and entertainer that if there were still phone books he could sing it and make it sound good. I love how he projects and does not eat the mic screaming. ❤️ If you search and see the demo, he sings on the jet and it’s awesome. Then on stage they show him how to adjust the mixer as he did not like the sound in the venue and he said why did you not show me this before. One of the guys tried to sing his song, Enge gave him a chance and took the mic and wow what a change. 86 and still going strong.

Brilliant analysis, as always, Dear Fil. You should be designing the music appreciation curriculum for schools. You have an engaging ability to explain the theory behind the music, without making dry, thus enhancing the experience of it. Wonderful! ❤

Great video. I think Engelbert has the most powerful voice ever with that great range you’re talking about. He’s still going strong after all these years. I wish they’d do a movie of his extraordinary life. He’s a wonderful person inside and out.

I watch you watching the performers and how you really enjoy it when the performer knocks it out of the park. Your respect for excellence is noteworthy. Namaste.

All of your facts are spot-on. I used to play drums for Errol Mahal, an Indian singer from Madras, the same town that Englebert was born in. His mother was actually Indian, his father British, which gives him that dark, exotic look. He told me a few things that I'd like to share with your fans. He confirmed that Englebert's real name is "Jerry Dorsey," where he began in India as an Elvis impersonator where my friend used to attend his shows (when Englebert appeared in America many year later, Errol met him backstage and he actually remembered him!). When he got signed by Tom Jones' same manager, he also changed his name when he thought that 'Jerry Dorsey' was far too boring, simply by giving him the name of the same famous German opera composer who wrote "Hansel and Gretel," a name so complicated that he knew that people would continue to talk about him, just as Arnold Schwarzenegger did, many years later (Arnold's first stage name was 'Arnold Strong,' which he dumped after his first movie "Hercules in New York," bombed). What I l particularly like about Englebert is how he voices and puts his own unique inflections into all his songs, emphasizing certain words and phrases like nobody else does. I never get tired of listening to his recordings, all of which have become modern day classics.

He is my dad’a favourite and would play his songs every weekend. They way he sings makes me feel like he is singing to me directly. Nice one Fil!!

Exactly...control, showmanship, in freakin' tune! He was always good. My one sis loved Tom Jones but my other sis, her twin, loved Englebert. Both so great.

Englelbert has one of the most beautiful voice

Hi! What a beautiful voice! He's one of my mum's favourite singers. I can picture her singing 🎶Please release me, let me gooooo for I don't love you anymore🎶 😊 Fantastic analysis, Fil. Thank you 🖤🤘🏽

It's fascinating to see how all of his notes snap to the line. My mom loved his voice, now I know why. Big love song guy, and he was SO in love with his wife, such a good man to support her through her Alzheimer's.

What a great performance! Englebert's vocals are just incredible with or without backing music. I always liked the song "Release Me" and agree that he sounds similar to Tom Jones. Great analysis Fil!

I grew up in the 70s and my Ma had an 8 Track stereo console. And all the tapes in there were Elvis, Tom Jones, and Engelbert Humperdinck. Great memories.

This is my fave EH song and my fave version. He knocks it out of the park as few others ever have on live TV. Maybe Elvis' "If I can dream" and Dusty's " You don't have to say you love me" on their live shows match up, but by far Englebert in this version takes one's breath away. The melody, the arrangement, the lyric and Englebert's amazing voice. Thank you so much Phil for reviewing this song.

Loved this video analysis. I knew his name was taken from a composer but it would good to hear the background. Superb singer, honestly. There’s once or twice I thought at times in the lower register he sounded like Elvis Presley…Just my opinion. He has/had a much richer and smoother tone than Tom Jones, really soothing to listen to and as for his range, really great. Isn’t it amazing how many of the older stars could actually sing. How many stars today could sing live and still produce the equivalent of a studio version, ie, no mistakes, no cracks. Not a lot I’m sure. I was a kid when this song was released but we had it on record at home. My parents would have played it along with other greats.

Used to listen to Englebert all the time back in the day. "The Last Waltz" was our favorite song in our house.

Engelbert is one of the best singers of all time! Just a beautiful and awesome voice!

Having recently “discovered” Englebert and bought my first cd of his, this popping up in my feed was perfect!

I attended a funeral of an elderly woman recently and one of the songs played was Englebert Humperdinck 'Release Me'. The was also a favourite of my dear departed mum, and as a youngster I remember thinking it was awful and old fashioned and he was incredibly cheesy. But listening to it at that funeral, that pitch perfect, effortless, magnificent voice reverberating around the room, I realised what a great singer he was and what a beautifully crafted song it was.

I grew up listening to Engelbert because my mother loved him. I'm not ashamed to say I was that 13 yo in the 70's listening to his greatest hits on my 8 track recorder.😂🥰 He will always be one of the greatest singers due to his one of a kind voice, and it didn't hurt that he was so handsome.🥰🥰❤️❤️ Edited: And I completely agree that Engelbert *wasn't* a crooner. It's an insult to his gift to call him that. He had far more range than any crooner.😌❤

Growing up my parents were, what we would call then, 'with it'. Mr. Engelbert was a household name. Thanks for covering. ✌💜

Very interesting explanation of the functionality of the discography of famous singers. Engelbert has a high quality vocal voice which makes it easier to express these tones. Thanks for interesting interview.

I bought tickets for me & my mom to go see him after my dad passed away (about 14 yrs ago). They would go see him & several others every year & since Engelbert was 1 of her favorites I had to! We both had a wonderful night & he sounded exactly the same

Engelbert is Elvis' brother from another mother

To me Englebert is one of the greatest singers ever. Had a very successful career tho sadly he's become forgotten. Tom Jones gets all the attention. It's evident on KZfaq were individuals do reactions by Tom Jones and forget about Englebert, Tho Tom is also one of the greatest singers. Another great presentation Fil, keep up the good work

I am grateful to the person that suggested this! I think it is a stunning performance. I was crazy into the Beatles back in the day. Engelbert was on the periphery in those days for me. I don’t think you could have chosen a better performance. I haven’t seen another channel with such top notch analysis and you have a wonderful personality. Talent with passion. Tippy top!

I love Engelbert and I love this song so much that I used it for my wedding song in 2006. It feels so good to hear it again 😊

Great analysis as usual Fil. I always enjoyed listening to Engelbert. I always thought his voice was smoother than most of his contemporaries. A genuine talent with a distinctive voice. Many thanks

What a voice. I’m rediscovering lots of music thanks to you Fil. I never took any notice of Engelbert when I was young. I’m glad I’m still around to hear what I missed 😊

Outstanding video. Engelbert came along with Tom Jones, another great vocalist.

Thank you for covering this; an amazing singer .! Plenty of charisma on stage as performer as well and good sense of humor as a person .

He is absolutely one of the greatest singers. I’ve belonged to his Fan Club from” Please Release Me” He is 86 now, and still has a a beautiful voice. He is a very special man; he stays close to his fans on his television “ Tuesday Museday” , for many years, also since pandemic he gives free concerts from his home. There will be another one this coming Thursday , 2:00 eastern time.

I saw him a few years ago in concert! Excellent!

He is still performing in his 80's. And the voice is still there!

You took me to school this day and it was a fabulous classroom event. Englebert vocals are brilliant and you demonstrated that beautifully . Just simply loved your presentation on a great performer. Cheers.....from Boston USA

I love your appreciation of all kinds of singers and songs. Good man.

Mr Romantic Engelbert such quality smooth and rich voice loved him in the day and even to this day he is still singing and touring incredible at his age , one of my all time favourites thanks Fil always a great analysis.

Fil, you're one of the best yourself. Thanks for this analysis... absolutely intellectual candy!!

I'm 63 and I remember being 4 and running into the house to sing with him everytime I heard him on the radio ❤ and Downtown with Ms. Clark.❤

His voice is smooth as silk😊

He's better than the pitch control software!

This was so interesting and enlightening. Of course, we, who love everything about Engelbert, are not one bit surprised to see and hear of the magnificence of his amazing voice. Thank you for this educational view and listen! 🥰❣

He’s singing entirely legato, connected and authentically rooted. This is superb technique.

I had the privilege of seeing this man’s show Saturday night at the MGM casino in Northfield, Ohio! It was my first time ever seeing him in person. He wowed the sell-out audience with every song he sang. He is such a beloved singer and entertainer. I adore his music. And to top the evening off, I was one of the lucky ones to catch one of his red handkerchiefs that he throws out to the audience at the end of his shows! 🥰

Engelbert Humperdinck never gets enough respect for his gifted voice , he really is amazing !

Very impresive vocals!!! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Fil for finally analyzing Engelbert Humperdinck! I have been asking for such a long time and what a pleasure to finally see. Your analysis was wonderful as always… To hear Engelbert Isolated voice says so much to his abilities, perfect pitch and what he’s able to do with his voice and breath control. He certainly deserves to be recognized for his outstanding artistry!

Wow! Just wow! I can’t say which I enjoyed more, listening to this amazing vocalist, or watching Fil listen to the music. What a fun experience!

Extremely interesting to learn about this performance. I think the orchestra (not sure) was pre-recorded, but his singing is surely live! Thank you!

You can always tell when Fil is enjoying a performance. He can't help smiling. Love it! 😉

His voice always reminded me of Tom Jones. His face really sells the emotion as much as his voice. Not my style of music but he deserves respect.

Dear Engelbert Humperdinck MBE , has such a beautiful an amazing vocals. Thank you so much for sharing. This is very interesting❣️I’ve been a fan of his since 1967. I love Our King Of Romance. He’s also a beautiful person inside and out❣️I’m a forever Fan of his from Chicago, Illinois ~ Carolee ❤️🎶❤️

He dazzles on “I’m a Better Man” by Burt Bacharach. Great video tribute to great singer.

Very interesting, I've been looking for a video like this for a long time. I've always known Engelbert is a great singer but I didn't have much knowledge as to exactly why

He has a great voice

Fil,your ability to appreciate and make accessible any type of music is a joy. I hear some Tom Jones and a bit of Elvis in Englebert's voice. I had some of his 45s back in the day.

I came back to listen to this video again. Engelbert’s voice and his interpretation of songs blows me away. 🎶

NICE reaction!! And nice that you compared him with Tom Jones. They were sort of competing talents in the day. They both had variety shows during the same time period. A comedy magazine, MAD magazine, even poked fun at their unofficial rivalry, saying one point where Tom Jones wins, is signing autographs, (signs TOM JONES and then he's out of there, but Englebert gets tackled by over-zealous fans before he gets halfway through his first name!). I had a big crush on both of them. Great singers.

Wow. He could sing so well & hold the notes. It's cool you cover so many genres Fil 😊🍻🌜🎵🎧

Wow, what a performance. This is exactly why he has become one of my all-time favorite singers. I think one of the all-time greats. Thanks for the great analysis, Fil! He was always my grandmother’s favorite singer, and I only truly started appreciating him in the last 20 years or so.

Engelbert is and will always be the GREATEST SINGER /ENTERTAINER in the WORLD." NO OTHER LIKE HIM ON EARTH "His Beautiful Voice is so REMARKABLE and AMAZING.I play his Music and songs everyday,he just makes me smile.He is just the BEST and he is BEAUTIFUL ,God Bless Him Always. Thank You for this Wonderful Video.
