thread_title: Staples Commercials

message: The word after implies he took the name in honor of the original Humperdinck. In actuality, it was more of a publicity stunt. The wording should be changed. Kingturtle 21:48 May 2, 2003 (UTC)
You are correct, Engelbert did not take the name in honor of Engelbert the composer. Tropiwikian 05:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He did not take the name in honor of Engelbert Humperdinck, but he certainly named himself after the composer. As the article correctly states, Gordon Mills ... convinced Gerry that an audience would never forget the name Engelbert Humperdinck, the name of the German composer who wrote "Hansel and Gretel". --FordPrefect42 16:39, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Engelbert Humperdinck (the name)

message: I am very certain that Engelbert traced his career (with the name he currently uses) back to the 50s, before the said name change in 1965, though it might be true that Gordon Mills was a major part of his career. Marcus 20:08, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, but you can't trust everything (if not, anything) that Engelbert's publicity says.  As a matter of fact, engelbert.com may actually be a website that is run by the publicity, not Engelbert himself. Marcus 19:21, 2 Jul 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have greatly researched this article, and have not posted information from one source only as I have already stated. I too only want the truth posted in this article. I think we are both on the same page, do you agree? Tropiwikian 05:14, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Large sections of this seem to be taken from Engelbert's press releases, as found on his website and credited Written by MARLEAH LESLIE & ASSOCIATES.

thread_title: Career

message: Hello,
I was trying to find some lyrics for songs of Humperdinck. While I could find some, most of the lyrics are not available. Some sites say "The artist has requested not to disclose the lyrics." What is with this ? I am pretty sure that back when I had the audio casette, it had the lyrics with it. Is it a copyright issue ? I am in particular looking for lyrics of "A Man and a Woman", however that is not the aim of this post - I just wanted to know why the secrecy involved with his lyrics.

replies: text: It's a copyright issue.  Those sites are not legally allowed to republish the lyrics without the copyright-holders' permission, so they take them down upon request.  (Lyrics sheets with albums are published by the copyright-holder, so it's not an issue) - 76.105.67.208 06:18, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lyrics ? 

message: Okay, I guess it should be obvious that he's not dead long before reaching that part of the article, but still... er, he's not dead, is he?  ("He has a cold, yeah, that's it")  :)  - 76.105.67.208 06:18, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The think the tone and style of this article needs to be better.  The language of this article reads more like a magazine than an encyclopedia.  So I think than rather worrying about the small detail for the moment, we should work on emproving the overall quality of this entry.  Also attatching sources to less wellknown claims will give this article some substance.  I am pretty sure we can make this a page we can all be proud of.  I welcome all your suggestions.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:ENGELBERT2.jpg

message: I was able to find a site that verifies that Release Me was in the Top 50 for 55 weeks. I followed the chart further to see if I could verify the statement of 56 weeks but could not. The URL is http://www.chartstats.com/chart.php?week=19680217 , which takes you to the chart listed for the 55th week the song was listed.

thread_title:  Release me chart longevity 

message: and possibly incorrect too.  For instance, from my knowledge, Engelbert never recorded for Parlophone, but, in fact for Decca, as it seems quite evident that that's the case.  If one has a reliable source that refutes this claim, please follow the Wikipedia guidelines and cite sources. Marcus2 (talk) 00:50, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Addition of unsourced material...

message: Our article says: "Mills suggested a name change to the more arresting Engelbert Humperdinck, borrowed from the composer of such operas as Hansel and Gretel."
That's great. But why???? --Dweller (talk) 11:30, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  His name 

message: This is such an important artist, he needs to have a separate full discography page done in line with other prominent artists... like we have for Tom Jones (singer), a very similar artist from that golden era  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Jones_discography What we have now is very inadequate on Englebert werldwayd (talk) 19:05, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have split of the dicography to a seperate article. It made the article far too long. Every album was collapsed, what made searching difficult. Night of the Big Wind (talk) 14:34, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Need for an extensive discography

message: Currently, the article Engelbert Humperdinck is about the composer. I argue that, per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, that should be a disambiguation page, linking both to this article and to Engelbert Humperdinck (composer). Therefore I have requested a page move at Talk:Engelbert Humperdinck#Requested move. Bazonka (talk) 08:33, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

message: While reading the article on Engelbert Humperdinck, I noticed an error. "Release me" was not originally recorded in 1999, it was 1969. Just thought I'd mention that. Thanks for all the hard work you all do at Wikipedia.
