Synopsis

Description

Ultrasmooth balladeer Engelbert Humperdinck was often billed as "the King of Romance," and for millions of fans around the world, he more than lived up to that title. Despite the strange name and the latter-day ads hawking his music on late-night TV, Humperdinck was one of the finest middle-of-the-road balladeers around, a sensitive lyric interpreter with excellent vocal technique and a three-and-a-half-octave vocal range. During his heyday in the late '60s and early '70s, Humperdinck cultivated the image of a mysterious heartthrob, sporting shaggy sideburns and a flamboyant wardrobe that, when coupled with his rich, silky crooning, drove female fans wild. He was especially popular in Europe and his native U.K., and his worldwide record sales ? counting both albums and singles ? eventually totaled well over 100 million. Like his friendly rival Tom Jones (with whom he shared a manager for many years), he later settled into a comfortable niche as a stalwart of the Las Vegas entertainment circuit.

CD Reviews

A Superb Live Performance

Alejandra Vernon | Long Beach, California | 04/16/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"
This recent offering from Engelbert Humperdinck is marvelous on many levels. Recorded in concert at the Rama Casino in Ontario, Canada in October of 2005, it is one of the best live recordings I have ever heard, with the balance between band and singer perfect, and the audience "there" but never intrusive. The band is simply incredible, and reminds me of the great bands Frank Sinatra used, and it is also versatile, with a terrific honkey tonk sound on a couple of numbers with "Jerry Lee Lewis" style piano playing that makes me want to get up and dance. What is Totally Amazing is Engelbert's voice, which at nearing 70 here, is slightly huskier, but full and rich and very powerful. He sings his hits of yesteryear as though it was decades ago, with the same vigor he has kept throughout his 40 year career.

The songs are a marvelous mix of new and old, with some of his biggest hits, like his first smash, "Release me," and one of my very favorites, "Love Me with All of Your Heart," and a soaring rendition of "I Wish You Love," as well as some that Engelbert fans may not have heard before (unless they were at the concert) like the title song. Some of the best and most gratifying for me are the astounding "Cry," Johnny Ray's hit from 1951, given a spectacular performance, and most unexpected and uplifting is the final entry, a moving tribute to those in uniform, the sublime "Columns of Grey," exquisitely sung. This beautiful CD was a surprise gift, one that will be appreciated for years to come, and is a CD that will delight all of Engelbert's many fans, as well as those who enjoy the best of standards and some fresh material, sung by a master entertainer. Total playing time is 71'30."

"It is what the title says "Totally Amazing". The songs are tremendous especially his version of "My Way". His voice still has the same impact on me that it did back in the 70's. Great album - all fans of Engelbert shouldn't be without it."

Engelbert is a Superb Artist

Linda Bolte | Pompton Plains, New Jersey United States | 10/20/2006

"I am a long-time, totally dedicated fan and found this CD just fantastic. It is the closest thing to being right there, orchestra center, listening to this superb voice. Engelbert is so powerful, and conveys emotion with every note. You only need to see one concert to fall hopelessly in love with him. This CD comes close to simulating that feeling. Great Music Engelbert, YOU are TOTALLY AMAZING... that's what YOU are!!!!!"
