Engelbert Calling

'Engelbert Calling' is the new double album from the incomparable Engelbert Humperdinck. This is the legend's 80th album and comes forty five years after his number one single and signature tune, 'Please Release Me'. Featuring brand new recordings of classic tracks with some of the biggest and best voices on the planet, all handpicked by the legendary singer himself, this is an album that celebrates both an incredible career and all that is best in music. With guest stars including Sir Elton John, Smokey Robinson, Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, Lulu, Olivia Newton-John, Sir Cliff Richard and even Gene Simmons, this is a collection that confounds expectations, and then surpasses them! Between them the performers on 'Engelbert Calling' have sold over 1,500,000,000 albums (yes, that's one and a half billion!).

The sessions for this album were an untold pleasure for all involved and, from the minute Engelbert opened up his black book of contacts, the music and inspiration flowed. Engelbert said of the project, "I am truly thrilled to be working with some of the greats of showbusiness and am honoured that the likes of Sir Elton have contributed to this album. I had an absolute blast recording and measuring tongue sizes with Gene Simmons. He won - just. It's been a labour of love and I'm truly proud of how it's turned out".
