Engelbert and Granddaughter Olivia Taliaferro I’m Glad I Danced With You (The Man I Want to Be)
Engelbert duets with his remarkably talented 9 year old granddaughter Olivia Taliaferro, in the song written by Olivia’s parents, Louise Dorsey (Engelbert’s daughter), and country singer Tony Taliaferro. This song appears on Engelbert’s 2017 CD titled, The Man I Want to Be, containing songs specially dedicated to Engelbert’s wife of 54 years, Patricia Healey, as a loving tribute to her, after her 10 year battle with Alzheimer’s was made public. Olivia’s voice represents the inner child within Engelbert’s wife Patricia, singing the lines she would sing if she was able to.
The song describes Engelbert and Patricia’s long and turbulent Love story, and how their relationship stood the test of time after surviving the many storms that they had to go through in life. They met while they were both about 17 years old. The lyrics of the song describes the night that they met at a party that concluded in a dance. The dance is referred to in the lyrics as The Last Waltz, matching the titled of one of Engelbert’s biggest hits. The party, the night they met, and the Last Waltz, all symbolize the life that they lived together. As the song says, “The party’s all over, and they turned down the lights, Even though we stumbled a time or two, and even though the Last Waltz is almost through, I’m Glad I Danced with You"….
Olivia admits about getting on stage for the first time. “I was scared and excited,” “My daddy bought me a dog so that I would do it and my mom picked the puppy out. But when I sing, I feel like I’m floating. And it’s fun. It takes me away from everything.”
“When success comes, remember that it can go as fast as it came,” Engelbert advises Olivia. “So you have to be able to handle it mentally by not letting it go to your head.
Engelbert as well as all of us fans, owe a debt of gratitude to Patricia, for helping Engelbert become the man that he wanted to be, and for allowing him to follow his heart. And this has not been an easy task, as Patricia herself has admitted in the Chapter that she herself wrote in Engelbert’’s Auto Biography book titled, What’s in a Name, describing their stormy and turbulent Love story.
Our prayers go out to Patricia, while she continues her battle with Alzheimer. With the hopes that she will be able to at least partially, if not fully recover.
