Thats Just in England. He Joins the invasion by British stars of television in their countrys former colony. But he bridles slightly when asked what it is the British have that enable? him and Tom Jones and Juliet Mills, among others, to snow up as top entertainers on American TV this second season for ABC. We had yc stars." he said. I saw them come over here. I liked them and so did others in Britain. Your television shows are popular here. Bonanza, Gunsmoke and all the westerns. You have performers over here no. So I guess we should be allowed to go over there. Engelbert Humperdinck Humperdinck and Tom in ABC series next week. Jones have similar backgrounds in entertainment. Both were not getting to the top too fas.1 although they were popular in shows at workingmen's clubs in England. Gordon Mills, a shrewd promoter, has handled careers of both. Theyve come up with television specials after their records have proven popular and then gone into their own series. Humperdincks first hit record, Release Me, has sold more than 3 million copies. All five of his albums have passed the million mark and hes making a new one next t week. Humperdincks televirion series will be variety in nature, but more simplified than the one put on by Jones. Guests lined up so far include Tony Bennett, Do'u.1 OConnor, Arte Johnson, Leslie Uggams, Gina Lollobrigida, Phil Silvers, Jerry Lewis and Ray Charles. Inevitably, an interviewer gets around to the singer's name. His real one is Gerry Dorsey Thats the one he used to sing under. When Gordon Mills told people he had a new singer who would rival Tom Jones, he was asked the name of the man. Gordon fumbled around and came up with Engelbert Humperdinck, after the German composer of Hansel and Gretel, Humperdinck said. Today everyone calls me by that name. My acquaintance call me Engel. My mother calls me Engel . . . Yes, its true that I cant be billed by that name in Germany. Jnst by Engelbert. I think Its silly. I have found ont that Humperdinck wasnt the composers real name. I believe It was Dorsey. This last comment showed his sly humor. He was using Ms own last name. Further on his name, he said: I wasnt getting too far M Gerry Dorsey. I dont think the name change is too surMartin to prising, though.

Those who have heard his rich, warm voice tl.at sings ballads tenderly or can adopt to rock, agree with him. On the gap, he told us during a phone conversation from his home near London: I'm very fortuI have that an audience that ranges so much. nate The age span obviously doesnt range much in nightclubs, but in theaters its fantastic, from under teens to people in their 80s and 90s.
