What better way to end the summer than by seeing this marvelous entertainer in person, performing some of the greatest love ballads of all time. More than three decades ago, a swoony ballad called Release Me knocked The Beatles’ Penny Lane out of the No. 1 spot on the British pop charts and introduced the world to Engelbert Humperdinck. Since then, his career has produced sales in excess of 130 million records, including 64 gold and 23 platinum records. Romantic love ballads, including The Last Waltz, After The Lovin ’, Spanish Eyes, and Quando, Quando, Quando have continued to heighten the meaning of romance for music lovers around the globe. Each of these songs is synonymous with the name “Engelbert.” Although he has changed with the times to a more contemporary mode, the voice of this man with the 3-* octave vocal range is more powerful and richer than ever. Count on many of the classic Humperdinck songs to be mixed in with new and exciting sounds, spiced with humor for a terrific blend of entertainment.
