Engelbert Humperdinck  

 In 1965, Humperdinck, who at the time was performing under the name of Gerry Dorsey, met up again with an old friend of his, Gordon Mills. By this time Mills was successfully managing Tom Jones. He took him onto his management roster and changed his name. He released a couple of near misses in the UK although one song "Dommage, Dommage" had been successful in Europe.[2]

Early in 1967, Humperdinck was asked to stand in for Dickie Valentine, who was ill, on the variety TV show Sunday Night at the London Palladium.[2] The show was one of the highest rated shows in the UK at the time. He sang his "Release Me" on the show. It reached number one in the UK Singles Chart on 2 March and stayed there for six weeks, keeping "Penny Lane"/"Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles off the top of the charts in the process.[2] Humperdinck's cover of the song stayed in the charts for a record fifty-six consecutive weeks

Songtext  Please Release Me

Please, release me, let me go
 For I don't love you anymore
 To waste our lifes would be a sin
 Release me and let me love again

 I have found a new love, dear
 And I will always want her near
 Her lips are warm while yours are cold
 Release me my darling, let me go

 Please, release me, let me go
 For I don't love you anymore
 To waste my life would be a sin
 So release me and let me love again

 Please, relaese me can't you see
 You'd be a fool to cling to me
 To live a life to bring us pain
 So release me and let me love again

 Let me love
 Let me go
