It was in 1967 when music’s “King of Romance” rocketed to the top of the UK Singles charts with “Release Me”. The song remained at #1 for six weeks while preventing The Beatles’ single, “Penny Lane”/”Strawberry Fields Forever” from reaching the top. “Release Me” stayed on the charts for a record fifty-six consecutive weeks becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time with sales of over 150 million copies worldwide.
He went on to release numerous hits and quickly emerged as one of the foremost entertainers in the world. His popularity continues to cross every generation and gender as his fan club remains one of the largest today with over 250 chapters.
Humperdinck – who turned 80 earlier this year – is looking forward to the New Year which will see him touring across the globe. “It’s wonderful to be able to go to all these different countries and know that they know your music,” he said. “And it’s all due to one record that started it all.”
