Known as the “King of Romance”, Engelbert Humperdinck recently celebrated 50 years in showbiz. Busy as ever, November 2020 brings a new EP from Humperdinck titled Sentiments, which features covers of classics by Elton John, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley and Charlie Chaplin. Meanwhile, December 12th brings Humperdinck’s very first Christmas special — he has 3 Christmas albums in his discography — which will be livestreamed on Looped at 12:00pm PT / 3:00pm ET. Humperdinck also keeps busy with Virtual VIP 1-on-1 Video Call visits and weekly YouTube vlogs.

Earlier this year, Engelbert Humperdinck did a successful Engelbert Live hour-long event online on July 23rd. Not too long before that, Humperdinck issued the tour EP Reflections, which included “You,” “Angel On My Shoulder” and a cover of Toby Keith’s “Don’t Let The Old Man In.” 2017 had brought the studio album The Man I Want To Be, while 2018 delivered the Christmas-themed Warmest Christmas Wishes. All the while, Humperdinck’s original record company Decca Records has issued a fancy 11-CD box-set comprised of Humperdinck’s first 11 albums recorded for the Decca label.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Engelbert Humperdinck for a second time — my initial discussion with the legendary vocalist was taped in-person in October 2018 and aired via the Paltrocast With Darren Paltrowitz podcast that year — on November 11, 2020, as embedded below.

Christmas Livestream Event for December 12th

As the world buckled down with COVID-19, iconic vocalist ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK had to adjust to the shifting restrictions provided by the pandemic. With his 2020 worldwide tour canceled, Engelbert insisted on getting new music to his myriad of fans who were upset about missing the “King of Romance” do his thing. In lieu of the tour, he opted to use his time off the road to record SENTIMENTS, a new EP to be released November 20, 2020 via OK!Good Records.

Recorded this summer by producer Jurgen Korduletsch despite the tough restrictions placed on artists due to the coronavirus outbreak, Humperdinck recorded his vocals remotely, a very different experience for him.  The result is a six-track EP which includes covers of Elton John(“Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”), Bob Dylan (“Forever Young”), Charlie Chaplin (“Smile”) and a duet with UK singer/songwriter Janet Devlin on Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love”.

Launching with the first single “One World,” which was originally recorded in 1988 for a Germany-only album, Engelbert chose to re-record this version with a brand new arrangement to help bring solace and calm to a divided and volatile world with its message about the importance of unity and togetherness.

Inspired to record a cover of “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” from hearing  an interview that Elton John had done years ago stating that the song was originally written for Engelbert but it never made it to him, Engelbert infuses a bit of his own wizened life experience into the track which might not have been infused if he had recorded it in 1973 when it was originally intended.

“What Am I Living For” gets a fourth makeover by Engelbert who follows Chuck Wllis’ version which was a #1 R&B hit, Conway Twitty who then turned it into a Country hit in the 50s, and Percy Sledge who a decade later transformed it into a Pop hit.  A love song straight from the heart that speaks to Engelbert with its simplicity, he dedicates his version not only to his true love and darling wife Patricia but also to his fans.

Featuring a duet with internationally-acclaimed Irish singer/songwriter Janet Devlin, the Elvis Presley standard “Can’t Help Falling in Love” gets a modern remake, directed not at each other but as a dedication to his wife Patricia and her daily struggles with Alzheimer’s Disease. A fan favorite from UK’s X-Factor from 2011, Devlin had performed the song on the show as a tribute to her grandfather who passed away that same week.

Closing out the heartfelt EP are his versions of Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young” and Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile.” Engelbert performed the latter track recently on his very first livestreamed concert this past July (which is approaching 500,000 views).

Global music star Engelbert Humperdinck chatted with Digital Journal about his very first Christmas special on Looped, which will be held virtually on December 12.

On Saturday, December 12, 3 p.m. EST, Humperdinck's Livestream broadcast of his very first Christmas special will take place on Looped, which will be followed by a series of video meet and greet sessions. Looped is a remote venue where music listeners can connect with their favorite artists anytime and anywhere in the world. 

"This Livestream is a family show, really, because I have members of my family here, which is unusual but I need them for the show," he said. "My daughter's daughter is only 12, but she will be participating in the show as well. My granddaughter is totally unbelievable. Her talent is in the same category as Whitney Houston, even though she has her own style."

"I think people will like this show because it is in my own house and it's very intimate. It will be very nice and very family-oriented," he added. "This virtual concert is my only way to keep in touch with my fans for the time being."

Fans can join Engelbert Humperdinck live from his home in California for an evening of festive celebration and songs. This Livestream event will include performances of a selection of favorite holiday classics and new Christmas songs. This exclusive virtual private concert can be watched and enjoyed all over the world from one's digital devices.

The subsequent video meet and greets will be a special experience for fans in these socially distanced times, which will afford them the privilege to chat and interact directly with the living music icon himself. In an effort to receive this phone call, they will need to download the Looped mobile app on their cellphones, which is available in both the Apple and Android app stores. "We put out 100 meet and greets, and they sold out in six minutes," he said. "Then, we put another 100 out, so I will be busy for several hours doing those meet and greets, which are 90-second calls to people one-on-one. I am anxious to see the fans again someday in person."

On life during the quarantine, he said, "We have to do what we have to do. Of course, I am frustrated because I can't do what I love to do, and that's being out on the road. Life is too precious to take chances, and I haven't taken any chances. I abide by the laws of being quarantined, and I have been wearing masks."

He is optimistic and hopes that things will get better in the near future, hopefully even before the new year. "I hope that a vaccine will be found very soon," he said.

On the title of the current chapter of his life, Humperdinck said, "Hopeful."

He also spoke about his new song "One World," which is on his upcoming EP. "I hope the fans like my mini-album, which will be released along with the new single," he said. "The lyrics of 'One World' are very timely with what is going on in the world today and it talks about unity, peace, and love. We are all suffering from the same situation, and therefore, we should help each other to recover from this terrible situation."

"I've had many successes over the years, and having another hit song would be another bonus in my life, and hopefully, it will keep going for years to come," he concluded.
