"I recently saw Engelbert in concert, and had to get this live CD. His studio recordings that I have don't capture what it's like to see him in concert, and this does! The performances are great, and I always find myself humming his songs in my head. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

Pure entertainment

"Credibility. Sinatra had it. Tony Bennett has it. So does Tom Jones - recently re-invented for the younger generation. These singers are all filed alongside Engelbert Humperdinck in the Easy Listening area of any record store. So why is Engelbert regularly scorned, almost regarded as a joke? He suffers from his image, that of the "King Of Romance", Vegas showman who, his critics claim, has more style than substance. Anyone who gave him a chance - actually LISTENED to his CDs or attended his live show - knows differently. He is a much better singer than he's generally given credit for - his vocal range and versatility are impressive and stamp his distinctive mark over many of popular music's greatest songs. In concert, he's very funny, often at his own expense. He appears to really enjoy himself on stage, when so many of his contemporaries merely go through the motions. Engelbert has sustained a career that is now in its fifth decade - with his recent UK release spending over two months in the British Top Ten album chart. This live CD, recorded in London in 1989, showcases his greatest hits and his admiration of Nat King Cole through a selection of Cole's best known songs. Having seen Engelbert in concert in May 2000, he's as good as ever and will no doubt continue to defy his critics for many years to come."

"I have to tell you that I own this video and had to buy the CD for my car. The songs are so.... great - all of them! He sings "Hello" like I've never heard it sung and his "Moment In Time" is an up-beat version which gets you toe tapping! I love this "old" collection because it renews the songs forgotten. If you purchase this CD - you will enjoy it to the utmost!"
