Best of Engelbert Humperdinck: The Millenium Collection

The Engelbert Humperdinck entry in the discount-priced best-of series 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection is a nearly foolproof brief consideration of Humperdinck's recording career through some of his biggest hits. The 12-track, 38-minute compilation runs in chronological order, starting with Humperdinck's first hit, "Release Me," from 1967, and going on to include 11 of his first 13 U.S. chart entries, through 1971. For its 12th and final track, Humperdinck's 1976 comeback hit, "After the Lovin'," has been licensed from another label, producing a set that includes all of the smooth ballad singer's American Top 40 pop hits. He has a much more extensive discography, of course, but at a cheap price this disc includes most of the songs that his oldest fans will remember as radio favorites. ~ William Ruhlmann

"I have been a fan since I first heard Please Release Me in 1967. I have been to several concerts, the last one was in Lemoore, Ca a couple of years ago. My daughter went with me this time, and she was just going to keep me company. She was raised on your music but wasn't too interested in going to your concert. She was totally surprised at how much she enjoyed you. She is 36 and was totally blown away. She said- They sure don't sing love songs like that anymore. Of course, I already knew that. We went up to the stage at the end and I caught a scarf, which is hanging on a mirror in my bedroom. Thank you for the music, thank you for the romance. I wish I had the money and I would fly all over the world to catch your concerts but unfortunately I have to wait for you to come to California. Love you Englebert and want to thank you for the joy you have brought to my life with your music. Valinda"

"If Engelbert has recorded it, It is the best. I have all but two of his CD's and I will find them someplace, one day soon. I am 76 years old now, I do not have have another 40 years to find them. But I am seeing Engelbert on May 11th, 2012 in Westbury and I am looking fore- ward to it. "
