ENGELBERT HUMPERDINK 'THE LOST INTERVIEWS' WITH RAY SHASHO EPISODE 11   British entertainer Arnold George Dorsey (stage name Gerry Dorsey) had limited success as a singer, but in 1967 Engelbert Humperdinck became an overnight sensation and a household name worldwide. Humperdinck recorded one of the best-selling singles of all-time; a number-one hit song entitled “Release Me,” which thwarted The Beatles efforts of reaching the top of the charts with their double A-sided record, “Strawberry Fields Forever /Penny Lane.” “Release Me” held the number-one slot on the UK Pop charts for six weeks and remained on the charts for a record fifty-six consecutive weeks, selling 80,000 copies a day. Humperdinck superseded the success of “Release Me” with “There Goes My Everything” and “The Last Waltz, “sweeping the Top 40 Pop charts that same year. Engelbert's charisma, good looks and magnificent vocals mirrored performers such as Elvis Presley and Tom Jones, and it quickly became evident that a new singing sensation had conquered and charmed the music world. Humperdinck's sex appeal captivated a huge female fanbase which became known as the Humperdinckers, and throughout the 70's, Humperdinck sustained the hits on the Top 40 airwaves …“Am I That Easy to Forget,” “A Man Without Love (Quando M'Innamoro),” “Les Bicyclettes de Belsize,” “The Way It Used To Be,” “I'm A Better Man (For Having Loved You),” “Winter World of Love,” “Sweetheart,”  ”When There's No You,” and “Another Time, Another Place.” Engelbert Humperdinck's albums released throughout the 60's and 70's … Humperdinck relentlessly toured the world in front of adoring sold-out audiences and became a hot commodity and mainstay attraction on the Las Vegas and Atlantic City Strips. When he wasn't on the road, he'd be in the recording studio generating the hits. His last major Pop hit on the Top 40 charts came in 1976 with the brilliant and graceful “After The Lovin'” composed by Ritchie Adams and written by Alan Bernstein. In 1979, Humperdinck spawned his fourth number-one hit on the Easy Listening charts in the U.S. with, yet another Adams/ Bernstein composition entitled “This Moment In Time.” In 1983, Engelbert released his last charted single “Til You and Your Lover Are Lovers Again.” In 1999, Humperdinck released The Dance Album which featured newly recorded dance versions of six of Engelbert's greatest hits, along with five original songs. The album landed in the Top Ten on the Billboard Dance charts. Most Recently: Engelbert Humperdinck released his highly anticipated and critically acclaimed double-CD entitled… “Engelbert Calling” which features incredible duets with some of the world's most recognized names in music … including Elton John, Willie Nelson, Olivia Newton-John, Gene Simmons, and many-more. The album is released by OK! Good Records, and produced by Grammy Award-winner Martin Terefe, who is well-known for his work with Jason Mraz, James Morrison, KT Tunstall, and Mary J Blige. … I gave “Engelbert Calling” by Engelbert Humperdinck (5) Stars! Engelbert Humperdinck's career spanned nearly five decades. He's sold more than 150- million albums world-wide, including 24 certified with platinum status and 63 with gold, four Grammy nominations, a Golden Globe for “Entertainer of the Year” (1988), and earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Engelbert has solidified his name as an international Pop legend and has established himself as one of the world's most influential artists. At 78, Humperdinck continues to tour the world and record in the studio, and like a fine wine, he just keeps getting better. Engelbert is happily married to Patricia, his wife of 50 years. The couple has 4 children and 9 grandchildren. He's managed by his son Scott Dorsey/Dorsey Productions. I had the wonderful pleasure of chatting with one of my favorite singers about his critically acclaimed release … ‘Engelbert Calling' …Engelbert's follow-up releases upcoming ... The current world tour …The early days… ‘The Humperdinckers' … Befriending ‘Elvis' …And Much-Much More!

This week's episode features indie Christmas music--indie hip-hop with DJ and producer Amerigo Gazaway, British indie rock with Les Bicyclettes de Belsize's Charlie Darling, and British music journalist Kevin McGrath, who compiled 108 indie Christmas tracks for Have Yourself a Merry Indie Christmas Volume 1 and Volume 2. All of their music is available now on Bandcamp. Right now, Amerigo is also selling a limited edition vinyl pressing of his A Christmas Album paired with a vinyl pressing of the accompanying remix album with vocals.  During my conversation with Amerigo, we talk about his collaboration with rapper Mega Ran, who appeared on 12 Songs in 2020. While talking about his search for indie Christmas music, McGrath mentioned visiting the Christmas Underground website. Last week, I talked to Christmas Underground's Jim Goodwin on the show.

Our guest this week on the Ham&High Podcast is the first of the candidates from the main political parties in the forthcoming London mayoral election.  The Liberal Democrats' Luisa Porritt is a Belsize councillor in Camden and a former MEP.  Among the topics for discussion are threats to our liberty, housing and low traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs). 

Andrew Thornton takes sustainability seriously. So much so, that in a few short weeks, he changed the nature of virtually all the packaging in his North London grocery store. Bread is wrapped in paper. So is meat and fish. And if you want milk or laundry detergent, buy a (gorgeous!) refillable bottle and remember to bring it back. He has a great story, and we're thrilled to bring it to you. Thornton founded Thornton's Budgens in 2006 by buying a Budgens franchise in Crouch End, North London, and subsequently a second in Belsize Park. From Andrew: "I did this having become more and more frustrated by the short term profit focus of the clients I dealt with as a consultant and knowing deep inside me that there was a better and different way to be in business - a way that I later realised was having a heart! We are 'The Community Supermarket that really cares' and it is our intention to put people and planet first, trusting that profit will follow. Specifically it's our intention that: 1. Every team member at Thornton's Budgens has a fulfilling job 2. The families of Thornton's Budgens team are positively impacted 3. The customers of Thornton's Budgens have a joyful experience 4. The community of Belsize is positively impacted by what we do 5. The planet is positively impacted by what we do 6. We inspire others by what we do and who we are. I believe that if businesses put people and planet first, that profit will follow. And that a lot of what is wrong in the world today stems from the dysfunctionality of the current business model that is totally obsessed with profit, and in my opinion broken. Over the last 20 years, I have gradually made the journey from profit focused entrepreneur to heartful leader. I have applied this heartful approach to my business for the last 8 years, Thornton's Budgens and have now formed Heart in Business Limited with a number of others to share my experiences with other leaders. We are doing this from a practical 'we have done this' sense as opposed to from a theoretical basis. I am writing a book, 'How to put the Heart back into Business' which having stalled (due to life going on) needs to be re-energised!"

You venture the long journey from Belsize to the Head Shop, situated just outside Alpha Centauri. It's time to try on some Deep Purple, suddenly the Crystal Telephone rings and you answer and a voice bellows "Is that The Lost Man? It's a Beautiful Day and Daddy's Here with a Story Book"

We talk to UK band Muncie Girls about traveling from England for SXSW, going through U.S. Customs, their debut album From Caplan to Belsize, the punk scene in the United Kingdom, “all-dayers”, playing Big Pre-Fest in Little Ybor at New World Brewery, touring Europe, and the ferry. --- More Podcasts: Episode Archive Subscribe to Cigar City Radio: iTunes | Android | Stitcher | RSS Connect with us: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Spotify

This week we're tumbling down the rocky trail of punk music to check out an Exeter, UK trio called Muncie Girls and their album From Caplan to Belsize. The album, which advertises itself as tackling everything from politics to interpersonal relationships, is the debut LP for the trio, and is sure to fire up some debates. The last debate of the night results in our topic [1:25:51]: What have the effects of "counter-culture" movements been on art and music in recent decades? We look at the pros, the cons, and finally pose the ultimate question: is counter-counter even, like, a real thing still? Let's hear your thoughts! Continue reading

The song I have sent you this week is one I wrote for my pal… wrestler Adrian Street….he used to enter the ring to it….”Imagine What I Could Do To You” Back in the day I took it down to RCA Records along with other stuff and was told it was possibly the worst record in the history of music (probably is)…however it ended up on MTV in America and in a movie called “Grunt”. At the time I put the quote from RCA on the sleeve along with a health warning…..I included this on an album I produced for Adrian…which has recently surfaced again and two record companies want to release it on blue vinyl…so take that RCA !! 2.Every week we have a jam session at a local venue where we raise money for sick kids charities…www.thecheshirecats.co.uk …this week we had a special guest in the shape of legendary songwriter Barry Mason. He sang a selection of his hits and told the story behind them … including Delilah…The Last Waltz…Bicyclettes de Belsize….and others by Tom Jones..Englebert…Des O’Connor and the Drifters etc….I put a band together to back him and we put a LOT of work in…and with only one rehearsal with Barry we stormed the place which was packed to the rafters. It was a great night and nice of the man to help our fundraising…and he looks incredible for his age. 3.There is a programme on TV called “The Jump” where celebs are trained to race down toboggan runs and carry out ski jumps…I’ve always thought this was an accident waiting to happen and it has….Olympian Beth Tweddle ended up with a broken neck and is still in hospital and there were several other injuries…I remember last year Mike Tyndall came a cropper on the ski jump and was very lucky not to do some serious damage to himself…the fact that he is a rugby player built like a brick outhouse probably helped. We all like to see celebs making fools of themselves but we don’t want to see them getting injured….can’t see the show lasting. 4.There has been quite a bit of news coverage on the big walkout by the fans at a Liverpool game….the club were going to raise the price of front seats to £77 each…..but have since backed down…which means they didn’t need to do it in the first place….oh sorry…I forgot about GREED!!!!...they are having a laugh….they could let the fans in free and STILL make a fortune….mind you anyone who pays silly prices to watch a football match needs help…..these club owners couldn’t give a monkeys for the fans. 5.The Flying Scotsman has been put back into service after ten years of repairwork…it is a fabulous piece of machinery and is highly respected all over the world…and…wait for it…I have been on the footplate…it was about 11 years ago when I worked with Monty Lister on Radio Merseyside…he was mad keen on locomotives so we did a programme on this famous train when it was on display in Llangollen…we interviewed the driver and I remember it being VERY hot in there…..our outings took us all over the place and I have even flown in a second world war plane (the name of which escapes me)…and been in an igloo in Norway…to name a few….great days.

The song I have sent you this week is taken from one of my DVDs so there are pictures to go with it…pictures you will see in your mind’s eye as you are one of us. Easy to sing about as it is such a great place to live. They have found a “new” planet in our solar system….it’s so far away you can’t actually SEE it and it my not ACTUALLY be there…but by all accounts this is very exciting. Now…is it me or is all this space stuff a complete waste of money…we are told that children are starving and there is not enough money to pay the doctors…then we watch a guy doing sommersaults in a spaceship…not to mention the thing that landed on a comet as the batteries went flat…what happened to that?…plus we have been informed that the richest men in the worlds form 1% of the population and their wealth is equal to the rest of us…the whole thing is a joke. There looks like there’s been a bit of naughtiness in the Tennis fraternity….match fixing indeed….I don’t know why everyone is so surprised…where there’s gambling and money involved you will get scullduggery…tennis is probably the easiest game to fix because pros can hit a ball to within 6 inches of where they want it to go…so if someone has got a few grand on who will double fault first…no problem. It’s a tricky one to trace….but I feel sport has lost it’s way…even the Olympics are getting boring….Tennis has lost it’s characters like Nastase…Connors…McEnroe etc…now we have Andy Murray who is about as interesting as astrology ….and Jocavic…great as he is…not much entertainment value….or am I just getting old? They had a get together at Fort Perch Rock last Sunday in memory of Harry Prytherch who was a Merseybeat drummer with The Remo Four and did a lot to keep the music alive. It was well attended and they had a couple of solo acts and a couple of bands…I got up with one of the bands and did a few Rick Nelson songs as Harry once MC’d a show I did with James Burton. It was a a nice afternoon anf harry would have been delighted with it…in the words of Harry “May the Fort be with you”. .Great news for our fundraising Wednesdays with The Cheshire Cats….Barry Mason no less has offered to come and do a show for us….he will sing the million seller hits he has written and talk about how they came about…I have been dotting out his set in the strange keys he sings in and have got a band together to back him…I’ll be playing guitar. His hits include “Delilah”…”The Last Waltz”…”Bicyclettes de Belsize”….hits for the Drifters …Tom Jones and Englebert…etc…….it’s a big ask but a nice challenge
