Engelbert Humperdinck
I'm looking forward to seeing Hansel & Gretel, the most famous of Engelbert Humperdinck's works. His namesake is perhaps more famous: the man who said, "No crooner has the range I have. I can hit notes a bank could not cash." His singing took him to the Knokke contest in Belgium in 1966 and he was number 1 in the Belgian charts but Arnold Dorsey's career really took off in 1967 when he changed his name to Engelbert Humperdinck. People admired EH II's looks but don't you think EH I looks rather dashing?

'Dashing' is evidently in the eye of the beholder.
" I can hit notes a bank could not cash". Who would have believed such wit tripped from EH II's lips ?
Do you remember MAM?? EHII, together with Tom Jones and a third singer ( can't remember who) monetised their earnings into a public company.
My memory is it worked all right for a bit but then when one of them ( I think TJ) started earning more than the other two put together,it slightly fell apart.
Belgium does this to people..........
Very dashing indeed!
Tu n'aimes pas les moustaches, M'Goose?
No KL - the only MAM I remember, sad case that I am, is Mercury Asset Management

Sorry Management and Agency Music...
