Engelbert Humperdinck has been a big name in the international music industry for over forty-five years, with over 150 million records sold worldwide. His remarkable voice and extraordinary talent has endeared him to millions of fans around the globe.
Engelbert Humperdinck has four Grammy nominations, a Golden Globe for Entertainer of the Year, 63 gold and 24 platinum records and as one of only a handful of artists with a star on both the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Las Vegas Walk of Fame.
Humperdinck still has a loyal global fanbase, and in the past 12 months alone he has performed all over Europe including United Kingdom, Russia, Romania, The Netherlands, Belgium & Israel.
Engelbert Humperdinck was born Arnold George Dorsey, one of ten siblings. His father served in the British military, and his mother was an opera singer and taught the violin. They all lived in Leicester and Humperdinck still has strong ties with the city, and was awarded freedom of the City in 2009.
After a life-threatening and career damaging bout of Tuberculosis at the start of his career, the young Gerry Dorsey, as he became known, realised that he needed a big comeback and he changed his name to Engelbert Humperdinck. It was just outrageous enough to be memorable and it would take a man with a secure self image and a sense of humour to pull it off.
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. Few people realise that it was Humperdinck, not Elvis, who made famous the sideburns and leather jumpsuits.
Humperdinck often jokingly asserts that Elvis "stole" the image from him. He has been especially popular in Europe and his native UK with many of his singles reaching the top 10 in charts in countries such as Germany, The Netherlands and Norway.
Humperdinck is currently in the studio recording a brand new album with Grammy award winning producer Martin Terefe and writer Dan Wilson with some surprising contemporary collaborations.
He has a brilliant voice even at the age of 76!! At the rehearsals there were some shaky moments...I hope in the final he will sing the song properly:) An amazing talent with such a beautiful and meaningful song...he deserves to be in the top 5!!!!! Go Engelbert, go UK!!!!! Good luck for saturday!!!:)
Engelbert's songs are wonderful songs in ALL over the world
Yes, Engelbert rules! He is brilliant and a lovely gentleman too.
I think Engelbert has a marvelous voice, and have followed his career from the beginning. Along with his talent, which is not just singing, by the way, he is such a wonderful person, honest, sincere, caring, and at many moments, he is quite funny, makes one laugh, and be happy, and that is what I feel everyone needs. It is just too bad he is not doing his own show on that tremendous stage. I wish him the very best, and I know he will deliver his very best,
Please never retire Enge. I/we want you. You are truly loved forever. Madeleine in the UK
SCREW THE HATERS! THE HUMP RULES! ^_^

Too bad he's performing first. Finland performed first last year and came 22nd.
But I'm pretty sure everyone will remember to vote for the U.K. Its a nice song and Engelbert is already a well-known international artist. People from all over Europe remember him.
Outstanding song. Beautiful words.
No entendemos....en Español por favor🙏
건강하세요
Continua Magnífico!
the shirt needs to be more open, Hump! that's what eurovision audience loves
Because it's mostly about politics. Trouble is, doing something about it would mean acknowledging this issue and they don't want to do it!
I love all your songs
I LOVE you 💓
:)
1st
I don't want to exploit or brag ladies but by the dream I had, I'm positive Engelbert is infadictly and hopelessly in love with me..hahahahahaha.. then I woke up and it was a bill collector on the answering machine almost humming my name, with the added, I missed you but I'll see you soon..oddly enough the collectors name was jones.. what cruel way to come to the realization that Engelbert was not calling my name. Now I must debate do I really want to pay this jones that ruined engelbert pledging his undying love for me.. hahaha..
Hahaha Hump!!! Worse than 'the Hoff'!
