IT TAKES TWO -- Interview with Engelbert

February 22, 2014

His new album of duets features a gob-smacking array of legends, from

Sir Elton John to Willie Nelson and Smokey Robinson. Music Week meets Mr. Engelbert Humperdinck

The only thing that matches the size of Engelbert Humperdinck’s discography is his Rolodex – as demonstrated by the veteran singer’s upcoming double LP Engelbert Calling.

It will be Humperdinck’s 80th album, a staggering 45 years after his signature No.1 single Please Release Me. And what better way to celebrate such a milestone than with a slew of special guests, the phone numbers for which only the legendary Enge (as he prefers to be called) would have in his black book: Sir Elton John, Smokey Robinson, Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, Lulu, Olivia Newton John, Sir Cliff Richard and even Gene Simmons – it’s an eclectic mix of music royalty.

“Having hits is wonderful but you have to maintain it. You must respect your position and your moment - and make sure you have a good manager” ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK
