PLEASE RELEASE ME was actually a country song from 1949 and charted several times. Baby Gap is correct in her assessment of Engelbert sounding a tad "country" in his delivery. Humperdinck is English and born in India. His manager was Gordon Mills who named his artists after historical figures. Tom Jones from the Fielding novel, Humperdinck named after the German opera composer of HANSEL AND GRETEL and Gilbert O'Sullivan after the comic opera duo of Gilbert and Sullivan (Pirates of Penzance). Actually, Tom Jones recorded the song as a gospel song but Engelbert's version was released first. It was #1 for 7 weeks and broke The Beatles streak of 17 consecutive #1 hits. At 86 "Eng" is still touring.

Great explanation Unca! Thank you for your thorough comments. 😃❤️

@Isleofskye Год назад

Thanks and I knew about Eng. but did not know about the reason for Tom and Gilbert.

@Isleofskye Год назад

@@generationgapreacts Great Reaction, as always Ladies. Gilbert O'Sullivan from the early 1970s is an ideal one for you (Not so much "looks" Sorry Mum😇 ) "Alone Again, Naturally" is a great video but het your handkerchief ready while "Claire" is lovely and if you can see the video of him with Claire, who,at the time, was his Managers 5 year

@Isleofskye Год назад

Continued...... "His Manager had a 5-year Daughter and Gilbert played in the garden with her and took her to school in lieu of paying any rent until he became famous in The UK.

My mother in law used to be Engelbert Humperdink's house cleaner,they used to live in a flat over the top of a furniture store in king street hammersmith,she was the cleaner in the store,he saw her working and asked her if she could work for him after she finished work,she did baby sitting for him as well.

I live about 1 mile from where Englebert was born in Leicester England,what a true great singer

@miketrevarrow9795 Год назад

I have always loved his voice from being a child, when mam & dad would play his music on the gramophone (record player,) most weekends, it was a done thing back then, along with Tom Jones, and another favourite of mine MATT MONROE (the singing bus driver) I would recommend giving MATT a listen, you may be surprised, these artists were from a certain era, they had STYLE, and in my opinion, although they are from a long gone era, they are still much better then most of what we have on the radio these days ❤

@firstnamelastname8060 Год назад

Humperdinck was born "Arnold George Dorsey". His original stage name was Gerry Dorsey. He had mild success but a few years later, his manager, Gordon Mills, suggested "Engelbert Humperdinck", and the rest is history. You should definitely watch his self-titled TV show that debuted in 1969. The level of talent on there is stunning, and you get to hear Enge sing several songs each episode. I am absolutely HOOKED. I react to Engelbert similar to how Momma bear is reacting. But I'm a 59-year-old straight male.🤔

One of the greatest singers ever, fabulous voice Tom Jones gets all the attention he gets nearly none. Their equally as good no reason. Im listening to this great song since 67 never got tired of it. Saw him in concert in 79 in Hershey Pa, was fabulous, many very good songs. Believe hes 83 performs occasionally.

@peterfuller9429 4 месяца назад

Engelbert Humperdinck is a British singer, who in the 1960s was the resident singer at a Wimbledon (South London) venue. I used to visit the venue most weekends and we all knew that he had a very special singing voice, plus he was a very nice man, too. He and Tom Jones were great friends and both are (they are still singing when asked) tremendous singers.

@beverleydabell3241 Год назад

I always loved Englebert, he was a local lad to us, lived in Leicester. One of his sister's was a nurse and used to go and visit my great grandad. x 🥰

@michaelasay8587 Год назад

I think he's the best male singer ever ..

@erikloupias7642 Год назад

I still remember this song from my childhood that he sang at the Knokke festival on Belgium television ,wich was held in the 1960s,when countries competed each other in terms of singing. That also became his International breaktrough.❤

@Bennromansince1955 Год назад

he got a great career kick off of the Tom Jones rage back at that time; oh, and had a great voice too!!

@michaelasay8587 Год назад

You're finally getting to Engelbert!!

@stephenhanft1226 Год назад

I'm so glad you're introducing the music of Engelbert Humperdinck to your channel. He has one of the greatest male singing voices of all time. Engelbert has a 5 octave range. "Please Release Me" was his first major hit and the song that really launched his career. Great song. An interesting note is that Gordon Mills was his manager who also managed Tom Jones. 2 of my personal favorite Engelbert Humperdinck songs that I'd like for you to react to are "After The Lovin'" and "A Man Without Love" As the case with Tom Jones, he is in his 80's and still performing great concerts.

@peterhall2810 Год назад

I first saw Englebert as Gerry Dorsey in a club in Bristol. At the time he was an average singer, singing average songs. It was only later when i saw him, that he hadmatured into a wonderful balad singer of international fame with that ridiculous name.

"After the lovin" is my favorite by him. I sing it in karaoke lol

@39thala Год назад

This song was a huge hit for country music star, Ray Price in 1954, more than a decade before Engelbert sang it. Ray Price had many hits but "Please Release me" his breakthrough hit. It was a little more upbeat than Engelbert's cover

My gosh, I had forgotten how handsome Engelbert is. Of course I love his voice but I so enjoy looking at him too. lol I have no idea how he got from the name he was born with, Arnold George Dorsey to Engelbert Humperdinck...but it works.

Maravilloso! Eine nostalgische Reminiszenz. Engelberts cover (1967) of this Eddie Miller song (1949) is by far the most famous one and rather for the elder generation. Elvis' powerful version with proper guitar rhythm appeals more to the younger generation. Compare: Elvis Presley - Release Me 1970 ( Best Version ) HD
