Synopsis

Amazon.com
To one generation, Engelbert Humperdinck is the King of Romance and the Sultan of the Showroom, to another a seemingly ageless kitsch colossus. Whatever, the former Arnold George Dorsey remains an unlikely icon, a traditional pop singer who rose to fame at the height of the '60s rock revolution and retains a loyal worldwide following even a quarter century after his last substantial hit. This compilation of standards, Eurodisco-ized covers, and sterling Y2K live renditions of his core hits (including "Release Me," "Quando Quando Quando," and "After the Loving") showcases many of the reasons behind Enge's enduring appeal: a compelling mastery of the ballad and a deceptively effortless vocal power and grace. There's something here for lovers of both classics and camp, from his gentle R&B spin of "All in the Game" to the Latin seasonings of "Dance the Night Away" and "Blame It On the Night" to the disco cheeseball of "Strangers in the Night" and "Sometimes When We Touch." And lest anyone doubt the man's seemingly ageless way with a song, the modern recording of "How to Win Your Love" included here can stand proudly alongside his romantic best. --Jerry McCulley

"I just received my CD today and must say that I am pleased with this new release. Even if you have his latest which was recorded last year in UK, this one has a few new songs. The version of the title song "IT'S ALL IN THE GAME" is fabulous!! he is sooooo good!! He has been introducing at his concerts the song on the CD which is "MAYBE THE FEELING WILL GO" honestly you will be humming this tune all day long - a song only our man can do!! Engelbert is truly the master of song and this CD is one more for your collection. The "oldies" which are recorded live from UK at his concert in 2000 we always love to hear. I have his video of that concert and it is great. One of his promises to us is that he does give his all and that he does!! Give this as a gift to one of your Enge fans and they will will be thrilled!!! Love it!!"
Has this guy always been this good?

"His voice seems to have a new power and emotion that makes the old songs come alive. Especially on the new arrangement of Quando, the drum and sax on that track are so good they would outshine a lesser singer. Englebert does seem to be in his prime, he's singing better than ever, working with great musicians and chosing great material. I wish more artists would put out CD's that deliver the goods like this one does."
