Engelbert Humperdinck's A Man Without Love Featured on Marvel's MOON KNIGHT

April 05, 2022

The first episode of Moon Knight is now streaming on Disney+.

 

by Michael Major Apr. 4, 2022  Broadway World

As with most Marvel films, it's the most unexpected people who turn out to be superheroes. In the case of the new Marvel Cinematic Universe series MOON KNIGHT that premiered on March 30, 2022 via the Disney+ streaming service, the latest member into the Marvel family is none other than legendary vocalist ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK who made his entry in the opening scene of "Episode 1: The Goldfish Problem" with his classic song "A Man Without Love" prominently featured in the establishing scene.

"My 'Superpower' was to keep this quiet until the show premiered," laughs Engelbert. "I'm excited to be part of the Marvel Universe and thrilled that 'A Man Without Love' was included on the soundtrack for Moon Knight." The impact of the song's placement was immediately seen on Shazam as it charts at #2 in the U.S., #3 in the U.K,. #4 in Canada, #5 in Mexico and #7 Globally.

Originally released in 1968 on the album of the same name, "A Man Without Love" reached No. 2 on the U.K. Singles Chart upon release. In the U.S., the single was fifth consecutive Top 40 hit for the singer and a certified million seller, staying in the charts for more than a year.

The "King of Romance", as Engelbert is lovingly nicknamed by his legion of fans who swoon under his vocal superpowers, recently celebrated over 50 years in show business. With his most recent albums The Man I Want to Be (2017), Warmest Christmas Wishes (2018) and the EPs Reflections (2019) and Sentiments (2020), Engelbert has shown another side of his talent by picking more introspective songs that connect with his life's experience. His new music has opened a new chapter in the legend's career as he continues to inspire and connect with fans of all ages.

Engelbert will also be awarded a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) honor for his services to Music during the Queen's Birthday Honors this Tuesday, April 5, 2022 at Windsor Castle. An honor of high order, he joins the ranks of Adele, The Beatles, P.J. Harvey, and Joe Strummer for this prestigious distinction. Most recently the singer was awarded a Silver Play Button by YouTube to commemorate his 100,000 Subscribers on his Channel, powered by his weekly 'Tuesday Museday' vlogs, 'Flashback Friday' episodes and 'Live at Home' Specials.

With more live shows scheduled in 2022 in the States and overseas (North American dates below) and more new music on the way, Engelbert continues to enchant and mesmerize his audiences for five decades and counting.

Engelbert: A Merry Special Christmas

December 15, 2021

Published on Monday, 13 December 2021 22:32 Written by Bobbie Katz Vegas Insider Daily

The legendary King of Romance, Engelbert Humperdinck, will be home for Christmas and this Saturday, December 18th, you’ll find him where his lovelight streams – on Loopedlive.com, performing his 2nd Annual Christmas Special

The event is setting the stage on the heels of the success of the iconic international superstar’s 2020’s 1st Annual Christmas Special, which garnered hundreds of thousands worldwide views. Once again, you can count on hum to have you dreaming of a bright Christmas as he sings songs from three Christmas albums he has done in the past as well as some new tunes. And while his first Christmas special was streamed from his Bel Air, California, home, this year home will be the decorated proscenium in a nearby L.A, casino, giving him the opportunity to make his family-oriented show still warm and intimate but a lot different from last year’s.

“My 13-year-old granddaughter, Olivia, will again be singing a song from Nashville, where she lives with my daughter, Louise, and her husband, Tony,” Engelbert notes. “I believe that all three of them will fly in to spend Christmas with me. My son Brad will come over, too. I don’t want any presents. Material things don’t mean much. I just want my family here.”

This year has been a mixed bag for Engelbert with some rough-going both in the personal and professional sense. Besides contracting a serious case of COVID himself, he lost his beloved wife, Patricia, who suffered from Alzheimer’s and died from heart issues following her own bout with the virus. In his grief and without having her to come home to, after some months passed, he longed to get back on the road doing what he loves – performing live for his legions of fans. Though he suffered with some post-COVID issues, as soon as he was well enough, he performed eight shows on the East Coast and two in the L.A. area before setting off for a 14-show tour of the United Kingdom, only to have to cancel after four performances when he contracted viral bronchitis due to the weather there.

But there have been some glowing professional moments as well. Engelbert received the news that he was on The Queen’s Birthday Honour List and was being awarded an MBE for outstanding achievement or service to the community —he was appointed a Member to the Order of the British Empire -- which “thrilled and touched” him. Then a video of his song “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” a duet featuring British singer Janet Devlin from his 2020 EP “Sentiments,” sailed past two million views. He also received an honorary plaque from You Tube for surpassing 100,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel. In addition, he just released his new EP, “Regards.” On it are four tracks: “Funny How Time Slips Away,” Let It Be Me,” “What a Wonderful World,” “Smile,” and a Bonus Track, “Blue Christmas.”

It goes without saying that this Christmas will be poignant and nostalgic for Engelbert. He notes that while his family used to have their traditions that things have changed because of the loss of his wife.

“Things are very different at this point in my life,” the handsome artist explains. “I miss my wife very much. I am in Bel Air in this big house and as I talk, my voice is ringing through rooms of emptiness. Everything stopped but my performing. I just want to get out and work and sing my songs.”

When it comes to the holiday, Engelbert still has fond memories of his own childhood and growing up the second youngest child and youngest son among seven sisters and two brothers. His father was a Colonel in the British Army stationed in India when Engelbert was born and he was raised in India until the family moved back to England when he was 10. He credits his parents with the happiness that pervaded the household and reminisces about his family celebrating Christmas when he was a child.

“Any presents we got, we loved,” he recalls. “When we were living in India, I got a cricket bat. I put it under my pillow for six weeks and slept with it because it was so special.”

“If I could tell young people one thing, it would be to be good to your parents and don’t disrespect them – they are the most important people in this while wide world,” he adds.”When you’re young, you don’t think of parents as being one-offs or that anything is going to happen to them. You take life for granted. It wasn’t hard growing up in a family of 10 siblings. My parents made out lives wonderful.”

Saying that he feels that he and his wife did a great job of raising their four children, he also admits that it wasn’t easy because he was always on the road trying to maintain his career and status as a global entertainer.

“It wasn’t good for my home life –I spent a lot of time on the phone with my family,” he admits. “But it was my job and I had to do it to keep a roof over their heads and keep them comfortable and give the kids a good education. Whether they stayed close to us or not as they grew up was up to them. I will always have love for them.”

As for the approaching New Year, Engelbert is planning a full touring schedule, including a tour of Europe and making up the dates from his U.K. tour. He is hoping that things will fully open up again with this year’s audiences having been limited by the venues to 60-65 percent capacity, a bit heartbreaking for an artist used to performing to enthusiastic sold-out crowds. He is also talking about designing a new format for his live performances and doing a LP country album.

Some of my early songs, such as “Release Me,” were country.” he explains. “They came out of Nashville. There will be some original songs on the album, too.”

Then there is the live streaming. This Christmas special will be the fourth video performance he has done, the first one garnering 250,000 views from the git-go.

“It’s a new thing for me, a new avenue for me to go down,” Engelbert, who is always learning new things and keeping up with the times, exclaims. “I love doing videos on Looped Live. I love always keeping in touch with people. I do a video meet-and-greet after the show – it gives me a great opportunity to talk to the fans. I consider them friends.”

There is no question that, physical presents aside, to his multitudes of followers, Engelbert is the gift that keeps on giving – all year round.

Engelbert Humperdinck to film Christmas special at Agua Caliente Rancho Mirage

November 30, 2021

Brian Blueskye Palm Springs Desert Sun November 29, 2021

It's been a rough year for British crooner Engelbert Humperdinck. 

The 85-year-old singer — known for his takes on songs such as "Release Me" and "The Last Waltz" — and his wife, Patricia Healey, were diagnosed with COVID-19 in early 2020. Healey, who also suffered from Alzheimer's disease, died after being infected. 

But Humperdinck recovered and, as an active user of social media, spent the year sharing stories of his life as well as live performances from home. Earlier this year, he returned to the stage. 

Humperdinck will be stopping by Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage at 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 4. The concert is being filmed for his second annual Christmas special airing at noon Dec. 18 over loopedlive.com

Humperdinck spoke to The Desert Sun about utilizing social media to communicate with fans, his wife's death and surviving COVID-19. The following interview was edited for length and clarity. 

THE DESERT SUN: Lately you've done several Instagram and YouTube videos sharing things about your life and singing some of your classic songs. Is this outlet and communication with your fans something new for you? 

ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK: I've been doing that (on Facebook) for quite some time now. This is the only way I could share my life with the rest of the world while we had this pandemic going on. I guess it was very instrumental in keeping me in touch with people and the fans around the world.

Did you have a lot more interaction with your audience than you normally would?

I guess social media brought this about. We created that thing on Facebook called "Tuesday Museday." It was created by my daughter and it was a very clever idea. There's big numbers every every week from people around the world. Of course I share that with Instagram too. This last year and a half has been a very trying year, not only for me, but of course for everybody else too. I had a loss this year, my wife. I lost her in February, and it's been very hard for me. (My wife) was always a person who stood behind me in my career. I don't think she would want me to sit idle and waste whatever life I have, and she would want me to do what I do and love to do, and of course, be in touch with my fans around the world.

You had COVID-19 at the beginning of the year. What was it like for you? 

It was horrible. I had long COVID, and as soon as I got it, my doctor got me on monoclonal antibodies. I think that more or less did a good job of saving me, because having long COVID means that it would have affected me a lot differently. Had I not gotten monoclonal antibodies, it would have been quite horrendous. I'm glad it's all over with and I can sing again, thank god. 

How do you feel being back on stage again? 

I've done nine concerts so far this year, and it's been very successful. When I read my feedback on my Facebook and Instagram, they've been excellent. I'll be traveling to the United Kingdom to do 14 more concerts this year before the tour ends. 

What do you love about performing in the Coachella Valley?

I've always had an amazing time. I look forward to it each time I go there and this is going to be special for me this year, a little different mind you without the lady behind me, but I'm sure we'll get through it and do the right thing.

Do you have plans to record new material? 

I'm in the process of making plans for a new album, but it's going to be a country album this time. It's been a while since I've done country music and that's what's on our program for next year. 

What's your favorite country song?

When I first started in show business, my first hit was a country song called "Release Me," which of course was in the Guinness World Records because it was No. 1 on the charts around the world and it stopped the Beatles from having a No. 1. It has a great history of stuff that happened at that particular time.

Country music packs an emotional punch. There are podcasts telling the stories behind some of the genre's legendary songs and how they were recorded. Do you ever connect with some of the stories behind the ones you record?

Well, my first one has a great story because it was recorded about six times and it was written and released in 1949. Of course, I did it in 1967. It was a hit many times prior to that, especially by Ray Price and he was a great country singer. When he went on stage, he always used to tell his audience, "This song was mine before Engelbert Humperdinck came along and made it heard around the world, but I'm still going to sing it." He always paid me a nice compliment on that score. I've had country songs like "There Goes My Everything" and "Am I That Easy To Forget." Most of my early hits were of a country nature, so I figured all these many years later, I would repeat that performance by recording some country songs.

Has there ever been a song you've wanted to record and couldn't because it didn't sound right or you couldn't get the rights to do it?

I'll be honest with you, there's a story about how I went to Spain and visited Bert Kaempfert's home, and he gave me some songs. He gave me "Spanish Eyes," "Strangers in the Night and "Wonderland by Night." I went back to London and I recorded all three songs, and then my manager (Gordon Mills) said to me, "You can't have 'Strangers in the Night." I said, "Why? I've already recorded it and it's a hit song, Gordon." He said "You can't have it because Sinatra wants it." He had a No. 1 with it if you can believe that. I lost my chance of having another one with "Strangers In the Night"  because I knew it was a hit song when I got it from Bert, but unfortunately Mr. Sinatra was more powerful. His words were more powerful. So, he won the battle.

You can't argue with the "Chairman of the Board."

You can't do that, no. He did a great job on it.

What would you like for the fans to know about this upcoming concert?

My show is trialed and tested around the world. All my standards are chosen very carefully because I know which ones people want to hear, therefore I incorporate them in the show, but I also put a lot of new material in to keep them interested in what I'm doing in the present moment.
