The Engelbert Humperdinck Show

This is indeed an amazing performance of Engelbert Humperdinck in his heydays. During this period (late sixties-begin seventies) he was in the best vocal shape of his life. His voice was extremely powerful, and he presented it all with great ease. This video also gives a good impression of the image of the sex symbol he was in the seventies. In the television shows he performed all of his great hits, and also unknown songs like My wife the dancer. Watching the video could give you a slightly melancholic feeling, because nowadays Engelbert is just a shadow of the singer he was in those days. His career is probably too long, like Sinatra's and Muhammad Ali's careers were. Seems to be hard to stop at the peak....
