Arnold George Dorsey (born 2 May 1936 in Madras, India) is a pop singer of the 1950s-present. Of Anglo Indian ethnicity, he was raised in Leicester, England and adopted the stage name Engelbert Humperdinck, after the German composer best known for his opera, Hänsel und Gretel (1893).
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.
Dubbed music’s “King Of Romance,” the multiple Grammy nominee with the ultra-smooth three and one half octave range has sold over 150 million records worldwide, including 64 gold and 24 platinum albums and is currently marking four decades since he first entered the American pop charts with his smash hit “Release Me (And Let Me Love Again).
