Gerry Dorsey hadn't had much success until his manager Gordon Mills (who also had Tom Jones as a client) had him change his stage name to Englebert Humperdinck. The first record with the new name went to #1 in the UK, keeping the Beatles from the top over there for the first time since their second single, "Please Please Me" stalled in 1963. The original of this one is a country music classic from the 1940's. The real Englebert Humperdinck was a 19th century German opera composer.
