“The Way It Used To Be” #42 4/19/1969

A Top 5 easy listening hit for Englebert Humperdinck (real name Arnold George Dorsey). He’d tried for years to break through in show business using the name Gerry Dorsey with no success until hooking up with Gordon Mills, who managed Tom Jones. The press tried to create a rivalry, but in reality Englebert and Tom had no quarrel. See, fake news existed even then.
