Engelbert Humperdinck in St. Charles

Engelbert Humperdinck is a British pop and easy-listening singer, born Arnold George Dorsey in Madras in 1936 and raised in Leicester. His 1967 recording of “Release Me” established the stage name he had recently adopted, followed by songs including “The Last Waltz,” “A Man Without Love” and “Quando Quando Quando.” Engagements at the Riviera began his long association with Las Vegas, where he became a frequent showroom performer. He later recorded a concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall for a live album, and in 2017 he marked five decades since “Release Me” with the 50th Anniversary Tour.
