Engelbert Humperdinck will be performing in the Theatre at Trump Plaza on February 13th February 14, 2009.
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 His voice comes from heaven, and he has been a legend in the international music industry for the last forty years, with over 140 million records sold. Engelbert Humperdinck, celebrated forty years in the business in 2006, has recorded everything from the most romantic ballads to the platinum-selling theme song "Lesbian Seagull" for the latest Beavis and Butthead movie. His sense of humor has endeared him to millions of fans around the globe and the MTV generation has just "discovered" what a magnificent musician the rest of the world has celebrated for decades. He has earned five Grammy nominations, a 1988 Golden Globe for Entertainer of the Year and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2000, he released “The Ultimate Collection,” a compilation of his most memorable hits, including “Release Me,” “There Goes My Everything,” “A Man Without Love,” and “After the Lovin’.” His 2003 release, “The Dance Album,” featured five original songs and newly recorded dance versions of six of his biggest hits, including “Quando, Quando, Quando” and “Release Me.” http://www.engelbert.com
