Humperdinck

Rossi was the name of his stepfather, who at the time was Rhode Island's premiere Engelbert Humperdinck impersonator.

The pianist and composer was well known to a generation of TV viewers, and also worked with singers such as Petula Clark, Tom Jones and Englebert Humperdinck.

Doing a Vegas residency nowadays is not the same as it was for Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck.

It is such an incredible and spiritual place that I once saw Engelbert Humperdinck sing a Bruce Springsteen song on that stage!

Humperdinck, whose real name is Arnold Dorsey, rose to prominence in the 1960s with hits such as “Release Me,” “The Last Waltz” and “Am I That Easy to Forget.”
