ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK! When I was a snot-nosed kid, I remember an image of a gorgeous guy dressed in a white shirt drowning in ruffles all classically framed by a deep blue velvet jacket. I also remember thinking, "This guy is sexy." OK, he wasn't any Jim Morrison and my knowledge of sex was limited to the miscellaneous Playgirl magazines my mom had lying around the house, but I knew he was the epitome of what a man should look and sound like. Some 25 years later, I find myself driving my beat-up VW convertible through the fancy-schmancy, high walled world of Beverly Hills, en route to the Ruffled One himself. As my car chugs up to the Pink Palace (the infamous estate of Jayne Mansfield) I can't seem to get the image of the man in the shirt out of my mind. Minus the ruffles and dressed in a casual golf shirt and slacks, Engelbert simply looks relaxed, ready to talk and at the age of 60, still gorgeous. Elegance oozes out of every pore on this man. With a 3 1/2 octave range most singers would sell their soul for, 68 gold and 23 platinum records, not to mention a rigorous touring schedule, Enge is showing no signs of slowing down. Not only is he getting ready to release a new LP, After Dark, this Summer, but he's also busy devoting his time to the plight of children with cancer and AIDS.

Contact Us 40 years ago the American public became aware of a singer with the unusual name of Engelbert Humperdinck. Born Arnold George Dorsey in Madras, India, the son of a British engineer and the youngest boy in a family of ten children, he moved to England at the age of 10. Growing up, he wanted to be a bandleader. But, things went in a different direction and, at 17, he sang on a public stage for the first time. At this point, he decided to use the name Gerry Dorsey as his professional name and he became quite popular working around the United Kingdom until his progress was interrupted by a stint in the military. He returned and picked up where he had left off but a bout with tuberculosis took him out of the scene again. When he was finally ready to re-start his career again, at the suggestion of his manager, he decided it would be a good idea to re-emerge with a new image and, thus, Engelbert Humperdinck was born. This singer extraordinaire, whose music is instantly recognizable, has withstood the test of time with his sensitive interpretation of lyrics. But he has never limited himself to just one genre having recorded everything from movie themes to disco, rock and even gospel. He is also extremely proud of the fact that he has been able to use his fame to help raise funds for numerous charitable causes.
