Legendary singer Engelbert Humperdinck joins Raymond Arroyo for a wide-ranging conversation about his extraordinary career, his mysterious falling out with Tom Jones, his friendship with Elvis Presley and the strange night he spent in Elvis’ former Las Vegas suite.

Engelbert also looks back on “Release Me” keeping the Beatles from the top of the charts, his encounters with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis and Sammy Davis Jr., and the hit songs that nearly became his before going to other legendary performers.

Engelbert opens up about his late wife Patricia, the role faith and prayer played during her battle with Alzheimer’s, and their pilgrimage to Lourdes. Plus, at 90 years old, he reveals how he keeps his voice strong, why retirement didn’t last, his new music, and what keeps him recording and performing around the world.
