Here is a little about Engelbert.
Arnold George Dorsey MBE (born 2 May 1936), known professionally as Engelbert Humperdinck, is a British pop singer who has been described as "one of the finest middle-of-the-road balladeers around.
international prominence in 1967 with the hit single "Release Me.
Humperdinck's recordings of "Release Me" and "The Last Waltz" both topped the UK Singles Chart in 1967, selling more than a million copies each. He scored further major hits including "Am I That Easy to Forget" and "A Man Without Love". Three of his singles were among the best-selling of the 1960s in the United Kingdom. During the 1970s, he had North American chart successes with "After the Lovin'" (1976) and "This Moment in Time" (1979). He represented the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2012 in Baku with the song "Love Will Set You Free". Humperdinck continues to perform, having sold more than 140 million records worldwide.

Humperdinck was born in Madras, British India (now Chennai, India) in 1936
one of ten children to British Army NCO Mervyn Dorsey, who was of Welsh descent, and his wife Olive, who, according to the singer, was of German descent. Various sources also say that he has Anglo-Indian heritage. His family moved to Leicester, England, when he was ten years old. He later showed an interest in music and began learning the saxophone. By the early 1950s, he was playing saxophone in nightclubs, but he is believed not to have begun singing until he was in his late teens. His impression of Jerry Lewis prompted friends to begin calling him "Gerry Dorsey", a name that he worked under for almost a decade.
Dorsey's attempt to get his music career off the ground was interrupted by conscription into the British Army Royal Corps of Signals during the mid-1950s. Later, he got his first chance to record in 1959 with Decca Records after his discharge. He had been spotted when he won a talent contest in the Isle of Man the previous summer. Dorsey's first single "Crazy Bells" (b/w "Mister Music Man"
was not a hit despite him plugging the songs on two appearances on the ITV teenage music show Oh Boy! in February and March 1959.He switched to Parlophone later that year but his first record for them, "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" (b/w "Every Day Is a Wonderful Day")was not successful either. Dorsey would return to record for Decca again, but almost a decade later and with very different results. Also in 1959 he became part of a touring show called "The Big Beat Show" with other pop singers of the time including Billy Fury, Vince Eager and Terry Dene. Further television appearances followed in 1959 on the ITV show "The Song Parade". A tour as a support to Adam Faith followed and he continued working the nightclubs. In June 1961, however, Dorsey was stricken with tuberculosis and spent nine months in hospital.He eventually regained his health and returned to show business in 1962 but had to start virtually all over again. Dorsey went back to the variety stage and to nightclub work, but with little success
