I recorded songs with a great deal of meaning, songs of lasting material. That's the legacy I want to leave behind - a legacy of love.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
In my concerts, I'm always doing new songs, so someone seeing me for the first time or many times before will be pleasantly surprised and hopefully entertained.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I have represented romance all my life. Some have called me the 'King of Romance.'
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I know I haven't spent a lot of time with my children because my job takes me all over the world and takes me away from my children, but I've given them a good education and security. If anything happens to me, my children's future is well-secured. So I think I've done well as a father.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
The Walker Brothers, they were a talented pair of people. I thought that Scott had a very fine voice.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
At seventeen years old, I found out I could sing, and I got up and sang in a club, and I got a big hand, and I thought, 'I'm gonna continue this.' So that's how it all began.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
When the BBC approached me, it just felt right for me to be a part of an institution like Eurovision.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
My father was 91 when he passed away of natural causes, and my mother died aged 88. She had a heart condition and had many heart attacks throughout her life, but she had ten children, so that would have put a strain on her body.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
The pomp, power, and military bombast of 'La Marseillaise' draws me into the history of France and my own. The surname I was born with was French: D'Orsay; perhaps an ancestor was amongst those troops that marched to this evocative anthem for the first time as they entered Paris 200 years ago!
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
In my early days, I sang rock stuff, but the career didn't kick until '67.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
Naughtiness is a part of growing up. It starts when you're a toddler and never ends.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I always take a hot shower before I go onstage. It's so refreshing. I let the steam into my throat. That's the way I warm up my vocal cords - in the shower. I start by humming and then finally singing.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
When I'm working, I always eat around 5:30-6 P.M. I don't eat anything after that because I don't think you should put anything into your body before bed.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
In the end, I didn't think I was good enough to use sax as a stage performer to get where I wanted, and thank God I chose my voice as my instrument instead. You need to be honest with yourself, and I was.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
There's something very special about playing Las Vegas, and I never tire of being here.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I think prayer is one of the greatest healers around, more than medication.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I try to keep myself young as possible. I vow to never let my hair go grey.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I've had Harleys on both sides of the Atlantic, so I'm a lover of a Harley motorcycle.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
The man who became a big influence in my life was Dean Martin. He started my career in Las Vegas. When I came to Las Vegas, he put his name on the marquee: 'Dean Martin presents Engelbert Humperdinck.' And I'm the only one he ever did that for.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I never wanted to be a movie star because it takes up too much of your time. I prefer the style of touring and making new music.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
My job is to entertain people and make them happy. I'm blessed to be able to do that.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I don't ever want to think my time is up as a performer. I have been afforded the opportunity to sell 150 million albums, to travel to places I never thought I would go. I'm going to keep on performing. I hope it never ends.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I always feel discontent, like there's somewhere else to go, somewhere else to be. I'm a very ambitious person.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
'La Marseillaise' sounds best ringing around a packed sports stadium. Its lyrics evoke revolution, conflict, taking up arms, preparing for the fight - everything my music does not! Even in our largely peaceful times, it retains its rousing, martial air that gives it a power that hasn't diminished.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I have dreams where everything will disappear or go away, so I'm always working harder each year.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I am a faith healer. My prayers have immense power, which I utilise whenever I can.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I really enjoy what I do. And if you want a lasting career, you have to work at it. Keep it current. Keep it fresh.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I had tuberculosis in my mid-20s. I didn't have much work, was living in a damp London basement in a sleeping bag, and ate only every other day. I looked rough and felt very run down.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
There are times when adverse publicity has hit my life, but these things are the growing pains of showbiz marriage.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
My first manager was Gordon Mills, who I'd met right at the beginning. We shared a flat in London and traveled with rock bands doing one-nighters. Later, he became a songwriter and manager whose stable was Tom Jones, Gilbert O'Sullivan, and myself.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I learned a lot from Elvis. He never took his image seriously. So many performers today put their image before themselves. It can ruin them. Like Elvis, I never took my image seriously.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I drink a lot of water and a lot of wine. I'm a wine drinker. Red wine, preferably.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
From me growing up with a large family and everybody singing around the Christmas tree, it was a wonderful, wonderful upbringing.
Quote by -Engelbert Humperdinck
I have always looked after my little girl - my wife - and made sure she is in the safest hands possible at all times. She was always an unbelievably strong woman.
