Hi @Glow3-With all due respect, I'm not so sure he exactly fell off the face of the earth-but rather, he did redirect his energies a bit. From 1970-1990, he was proven to have fathered 2 illigitimate children, with 2 different women, yet his wife Pat remained devoted and by his side til her death last year.(they're both devoted Catholics). Humperdink stayed very busy thru the 1990's and beyond, he lent his voice to an episode of the cartoon 'Beavis & Butthead', he released several gospel hits, earning multiple grammy nods, he did "The Long and Winding Road", ''Let There Be Love"... in 2010 he released the double album "Englebert Calling", he was the UK's Eurovision rep in 2012 performing ''Love Will Set You Free"...in 2017, he did covers of Ed Sheeran's 'Photograph' and Bruno Mars "Just The Way You Are", and released "Englebert 50", in 2018 he released his album ''Warmest Christmas Wishes'', 2019, as a birthday gift to Pat, he performed and appeared in the music video ''You" and released his album, ''Reflections'', in 2020 he released "Sentiments" and this year, he's provided songs for no less than 3 movie soundtracks. Englebert is 86 years YOUNG, and as Fil said, he's still today touring! IMO, he shows very little sign of even slowing down...

If I can find the link I will send it to you, here. Perhaps you’ve already seen it. I was talking with a friend about a year ago and he came up in conversation.

As for softly, I call it caressing the lyrics He is a powerful dynamic, breathtaking~ an unforgettable voice.

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.

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.

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.

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 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! 🥰

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.

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.

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.
