funnily enough, my first ever boyfriend was called Gerry Dorsey, he was born in 1936 - but in Penang, Malaysia



He loved to boast about the connection though .......... pratt



He was 36 and I was only 18 - yeah, yeah I know now (you live & learn)



please note - a good use of the 'roll-eyes' smiley

Do you have her locked in the bedroom?

Erm, no.

Me and my mates got quite into cheesy 60s stuff back in the mid 90s.

I remember one new years bash with Quando belting out when the police knocked at the door saying 'Could you turn Englebert down sir? We could hear him from Brentford nick'!

I pass his UK bolt hole quite often, It's a lovely place.
Not giving to much away owing to privacy, It's on the A6 in Leicestershire.

..........save the last dance............

That was a good 'un...........

He turned up on something fairly recently.........not singing, can't remember what it was..........he was talking, probably one of those '100 Greatest' type tings..........

Engelbert Humperdinck is virtually a God.

Thanks to this thread I have been listening to Engelbert (what a name) on YouTube for the past half an hour.

The cat is giving me funny looks. The man is a legend!!

I remember him. Or at least my sisters going on about him.

Engelbert takes me right back to the 70's.
My grandmother making soup on a saturday morning and me playing at being a baker and melting plasticine on top of her electric fire.

Cats have a permanent funny look on their face.

Glad you like EH

The inspiration to many a synth-playing singer in those mediterranean hotel bars.

Engelbert

I just know I will not be able to get 'The Last Waltz' out of my head tomorrow.

My cat has moved to the other room now.

When I was a kid and we had an old fashioned record player, 'Save the last dance for me' was one of our few records.

We also had Tom Jones' 'It's not Unusual' .... Val Doonigan's 'Elusive butterfly of love' ... Jumping Jack Flash ... Petula Clarke singing something or other ... and, remarkably, Michael Jackson's 'I want you back' !

Replying to this post made me realise how MJ was part of my growing up

RIP

He's still alive isn't he?

Is Englebert alive or dead?

He is a legend.

A British icon.

Wow great minds think alike?

post not appearing

He's very much alive.

He is alive. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelbe...rdinck_(singer)

This synergy is catching.

And the Top Of The Pops LP's

I totally agree.
