Engelbert Humperdinck

For more than four decades, international recording icon Engelbert Humperdinck has shared a legacy of love with fans of every age, on every continent. Building on this incomparable heritage, comes Engelbert's "Legacy of Love": both the title of a brand new CD that revisits many of his timeless and beloved classics as well as the name of his latest world tour, a romantic tour-de-force that will take him from Paris to Pennsylvania, Moscow to Manchester, Vegas to Vienna.For the Legacy of Love CD, Engelbert revisited many of his most memorable hits. The CD also includes two never-before-recorded songs, the classic "Over the Rainbow" and the incomparable "My Way". This is the newest addition to his unmatched musical legacy that includes sales of a staggering 150 million albums worldwide, including 64 Gold and 24 Platinum. Never one to rest comfortably on is laurels, Engelbert has been putting the finishing touches on two brand new CDs. "A Taste of Country" to be released in the Autumn of 2009, is a tribute to the musical genre that launched his early career, recorded with the Humperdinck "stamp". This will be followed by a collection of new songs that reunite Engelbert with producer Charles Calello, the genius behind Engelbert's smash hit "After the Lovin'". The first song completed for this otherwise Top Secret CD is entitled, "Endlessly", composed by two true legends of the music industry: Paul Anka and David Foster. Engelbert is so thrilled with the results of this one-in-a-lifetime collaboration that in July 2009 "Endlessly" is going to get a special "sneak preview" release in Europe. Don't miss it!Rarely has one artist sustained such an enduring and devoted bond with generations of passionate admirers, some who first fell in love with the rugged young singer who proved the only artist able to keep The Beatles from the top of the charts at the height of their fame; others were not yet born when "Release Me" topped the UK/US charts in 1967 - but subsequently fell under the spell of this unparalleled performer, the quintessential romantic balladeer.The "Legacy of Love" tour comes hot on the heels of his highly successful and critically acclaimed 40th Anniversary tour, a 100-city worldwide celebration of the four decades since his spectacular debut on the world's stage. That tour coincided with the release of his CD, "The Winding Road", featuring "contemporary British classics" by such illustrious composers as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Sting, Eric Clapton, Christine McVie and James Blunt.In addition to having conquered the concert stage and while sustaining an unequalled recording career, "Enge" - as friends and fans alike know him - has been heard on such diverse soundtracks as Showtime's award-winning series WEEDS, the indy hit, ROMANCE AND CIGARETTES starring James Gandolfini and Susan Sarandon, and BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD DO AMERICA. He will be heard on the upcoming film soundtrack, THE PERFECT GAME.It's been an amazing journey for the man born Arnold George Dorsey in Madras, India, the youngest of ten children born to British army officer Mervyn Dorsey and his wife, Olive. The family returned to England when Engelbert was 10. From an early age, he had a passion for music. He scrimped and saved his weekly paper route salary to pay for lessons on his beloved saxophone, all the while dreaming of being a bandleader.His life came to a profound crossroads at the age of 17, when he first sang on a public stage. He changed his name to Gerry Dorsey and found early success performing in the UK. A stint in the military and a bout of tuberculosis temporarily put his dreams on hold. But his passion never wavered. At the suggestion of his then-manager, Gordon Mills, he decided to reinvent himself with a new, mysterious image. Once more, this led to a new name: that of the noted 19th century German composer of such classic operas as "Hansel and Gretel." Thus was born the phenomenon known as Engelbert Humperdinck. By the time his first mega-hit "Release Me" went to #1 in 11 countries, the London Times crowned him, "The premier voice of the 20th century". His inimitable three-and-a -half octave range and ultra smooth onstage charisma won over fans of every generation, in every part of the globe.His career in the '70s was punctuated by a steady stream of hits including the Grammy nominated "After the Lovin'," Other highlights throughout the decade included: "Winter World Of Love," "Am I That Easy To Forget," "The Last Waltz," "There Goes My Everything," "Les Bicyclettes De Belsize," "This Moment In Time," and "A Man Without Love." The demand for his music was so strong he recorded many multi-language versions of his most popular songs. One of the world's most instantly recognized voices, Engelbert's music has withstood the test of time thanks to his sensitive interpretation of lyrics. He has never limited himself to just one genre, recording everything from pop to disco, rock and gospel.Engelbert has performed for countless international dignitaries including Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and several U.S. Presidents. In 1978 he received a "Georgie Award" from the American Guild of Variety Artists recognizing him as "Entertainer of the Year", an honor shared by such exemplary artists as Barbra Streisand, Barry Manilow and Johnny Carson. In 1988, the opening ceremony of the Seoul Summer Olympics included his performance of "One World" -- a performance seen by over 5 billion people around the world. The following year, he was honored with a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame.He received his second Grammy nomination for the 2003 album, "Always Hear The Harmony." The following year, his autobiography "Engelbert: What's In A Name?" made it's way onto the best-seller lists giving readers an intimate look at not only his career and family, but also the eventful life he has led.In addition to these professional accolades, he has received countless honors for his commitment to numerous charitable causes, including the Leukemia Research Fund, the American Lung Association, "Reach Out," an organization dedicated to AIDS education and the needs of HIV-infected children, and the International Red Cross. For his hometown of Leicester, he serves as the Patron for the County Air Ambulance charity. In 2006, the University of Leicester awarded him the title of "Doctor of Music". In 2009, the city bestowed upon him the coveted title of "Freedom of City".In 2009, the UK Variety's Club awarded him their highest honors, recognizing his outstanding contributions to the entertainment community as well as his charitable work. In October, Engelbert's name will be added to Las Vegas's legendary Walk of Stars.When not on tour, Engelbert and his beloved wife of 44 years, Patricia, divide their time between their homes in England and California. Together they raised four children -- Louise, Jason, Scott and Bradley - each successful in their individual endeavors. During his off-time Engelbert enjoys relaxing with golf, tennis, water-skiing, writing poetry, practicing karate, maintaining a world-class wine cellar and riding his prized collection of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The "Legacy of Love" between Engelbert and his audience continues, an unstoppable force. He remains the consummate global entertainer, a rare example of unequaled style and sophistication. He continues to perform for sold out audiences and his millions of fans all over the world. His popularity crosses every generation and gender.

Kenny G

Kenny G has a way with melody. That’s not necessarily a revelation, but more like a huge understatement, and it really comes into focus at this point in Kenny’s amazing career. This is a musician who has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide, owns the best-selling instrumental record of all time with 1992’s 12-times-platinum Breathless, has the number one Christmas record of all time with 1994’s 8- times platinum Miracles, and whose song “Going Home” has, improbably, become the official end-ofwork-day anthem in China. At the heart of those achievements is Kenny’s ability to convey deep emotional resonance with his saxophone, a skill never more apparent than on Innocence, his 20th studio album and fifth for Concord Records. The 12-track project’s theme is lullabies, which have existed for thousands of years not only as a means of soothing babies to sleep but also to impart cultural and familial traditions. “Lullabies are very special to me,” says Kenny, who has been mulling an album with this musical focus for several years and even mentioned the idea in passing in Penny Lane’s acclaimed 2021 HBO documentary on him, Listening to Kenny G. “They hold a special place in my heart. It’s the melodies. They are beautiful and timeless and whenever I hear them, wonderful memories start rushing back to me.” Listeners will likely experience the same sensation while enjoying Kenny’s versions of “Rock-a-Bye Baby,” Harold Arlen’s “Over the Rainbow,” Richard Rodgers’ “Edelweiss,” and Frederic Chopin’s “Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2” and “Berceuse,” which he purposefully rendered without any interpretive twists and turns. “The problem that often happens when artists record songs with traditional melodies is that they put too many twists on things and they end up making them worse,” he says. “With lullabies, you don't necessarily need to put much of a twist on them. You just do your thing and at the same time stay true to the melody. My thing is being able to look at a melody and understand how to play it. I’m very lucky that I have that sensibility when it comes to melody. I think that's also why my Christmas records do so well, and why people tell me they listen to them all year long.” For example, Kenny says “Edelweiss” may not be considered by some to be a lullaby, but that “it’s in the right tempo for one and has such a great melody. I included it because it’s a song I’ve always enjoyed listening to. And to me it sounds like a lullaby.” As for “Over the Rainbow,” Kenny previously recorded it for his 1999 album Classics in the Key of G, but welcomed the opportunity to give it another shot on Innocence. “I thought I did a pretty good job on the first try, but there was a part missing and it’s something that's been hanging over my head for a long time,” he says. “I was always wanting to re-record that song and finally got a chance to do it, which was really satisfying.” However, Innocence is hardly limited to the past. Indeed, Kenny co-wrote seven original songs for the album, propelled by the notion that “a lot of my songs already sound like lullabies even though they're not labeled as such. I think my natural writing style works out great for creating new original lullabies” he says, although he’s quick to admit that it’s nearly impossible to define what exactly makes a piece of music a lullaby in the first place. “I know how to write a melody and I can put myself in the right frame of mind to create what I want to create, but even though they’re simple, lullabies are hard to describe in words,” he says. “I practice every morning for three hours, and in those three hours while I was thinking about this record, I started to fool around with melodies. One would hit me and I’d say to myself as I put it on my phone, okay, that's gonna be a great lullaby. Throughout, Kenny’s signature soprano sax uplifts, soothes, and conjures aural nostalgia of the highest order, from the first unaccompanied notes of album opener “Acapella Lullaby” to closer “Studio City Lullaby,” which is a wonderful collaboration with Kenny and close friend, Randy Waldman, and was created in Studio City California. With a meditative piano countermelody underneath, “A Mother’s Lullaby” finds Kenny at his most serene, while “Lullaby Tres” is imbued with a cinematic, bittersweet vibe accented by harp glissandos and an unexpected key modulation. Kenny also recorded two tenor sax tracks “Tender Lullaby” and “Major Lullaby,” “It’s nice to have the deep rich tones of the tenor sax on this record too. I think these tracks add depth and a slightly darker ‘vibe’ to the record. Even a bit melancholy.” Helping Kenny flesh out the sound of Innocence were arrangers/composers and longtime collaborators Randy Waldman and William Ross, with several songs eventually being put to tape at the latter’s home studio and others featuring songwriting contributions from both men. Bill Ross’s gorgeous orchestral arrangements were recorded at London’s famed AIR Studios, with Kenny there in person to oversee the recording. For the last several years, Kenny has taken to the internet with gusto, as new generations of listeners have discovered his music and contemporary hitmakers such as The Weeknd and Jon Batiste have enlisted him for guest appearances on their albums. His posts have become memes and gone viral, as he continues to have fun with the whole idea of being his iconic self. And while the material from Innocence may not make much sense as part of Kenny’s live show (“unless I’m playing at a nursery school or a private gig at somebody’s house” he jokes), it’s most definitely not just an album for kids. (Although in Kenny’s words. “I’ve already given you the albums that have made the babies, now I give you the album that puts them to sleep!”)
