Engelbert Whats In A Name? The Autobiography 9780753522837 Books Reviews
This man has the most amazing voice and I have been a fan for a very long time. I got to see him when he was in his 40s, I had a front row seat. Unfortunately I didn't get to kiss him or shake his hand, but was SO close to him. He was the MOST BEAUTIFUL man in his day............ He was a great entertainer. He is now nearly 77, still entertaining. I wanted to know his story, so ordered this book. It is an easy read and he tells it like it is. I was disappointed a tiny bit that he didn't tell a little more about some of the affairs he had. I am just nosy I guess. Still love him, love his voice and sad to see him aging.
There are not enough adjectives in the dictionary to describe this marvelous man! He is beautiful, he has the most incredible voice and vocal range of any man yet, in my opinion. He not only sings ballads, he "feels" them as he sings them, and you can hear it in his voice. The book is wonderfully enlightening. The hardships this treasure had to endure in starting his career are heartbreaking. But he persevered to become the star that he is. His adoring wife, whose life was also difficult during the early years, has remained at his side, raising their children mostly alone, while Enge traveled the world. It was not an easy life for her, but she stayed, and now has the life that she is most happy with. Her contribution to the book in her own words is excellent. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever heard and enjoyed Engelbert sing his wonderful songs.
What a tale Engelbert has to tell, and how entertaining is the way he tells it; it's been a life full of twists and turns, and he writes it all, with all the bumps and bruises along the way.
From his childhood in Madras, India, where he lived through the violence of pre-Independence terrorism, to the many hardships of trying to make it as a singer, which were made that much tougher by the ever-present "couch-casting" that went on, a form of getting ahead that he would not participate in...and its prevalence explains why many of the untalented seem to "make it", if only for a season, while some of the really gifted have a rough time getting noticed.
Engelbert's rise to stardom was meteoric, with the single song of "Release Me" in 1967, and he went from living in a sparsely furnished flat into the lap of luxury, and all the pitfalls that come with fame and fortune.
Through it all, he has had Patricia, or Popea, as he calls her, with him since the early days. Beautiful as well as intelligent and strong, she's been the one that has kept the family of 3 boys and one girl (the stunning and talented Louise Dorsey) together, and "stood by her man" through thick and thin. Popea writes a portion of Chapter Fifteen with gritty honesty, and explains how, and why, she withstood the many women, the paternity suits, and all the paparazzi that hounded them through those many years of notoriety.
The women, as Engelbert explains, were an "occupational hazard", certainly not helped by his years of lonely nights and hard drinking on the road, and the many females who would make themselves exceedingly available.
Engelbert comes off as an extremely complex individual, but very likeable. A perfectionist in his work, living life to the fullest, and discovering in his later years that he has the gift of healing; this assertion I believe, as I find that the sound of his voice can have curative effects.
There are portions that are laugh-out-loud funny (like the UFO story in Chapter Seventeen), and adding to the charm of his writing style is some of the "Brit-speak" slang, with expressions like the now rarely heard "grotty" (a favorite word of mine coined by George Harrison in the '60s).
The book has two sections of photographs, from the age of 17 on. Favorites of mine are the one with Muhammad Ali, and a lovely family shot taken by the pool in one of their USA homes, affectionately named "The Pink Palace".
The final 12 pages are devoted to a UK discography, and include chart positions.
This is fast reading, and riveting, so walk the dog, feed the cat, turn off the telephone, and make yourself a big cuppa, because once you open this book, its going to be very hard to put down.
I almost gave this 4 stars because I would have liked it to be longer. He tells the truth pretty much as he knew it to be - he has honestly discussed mistakes he made as well as his successes, troubles as well as triumphs. His wife added a statement of her own, which seems fair - to discuss the gossip press stories about his infidelity and while she pulls no punches in telling her story, she also dispelled the "poor, long-suffering wife" image. His has been a unique life with incredible high points and low ones. It is worth reading if you are a performer for his insights into the people a performer must deal with throughout a career. An unequaled voice and spirit and a cogent and well-written book, truthful and engaging. His book reveals the man many of us have known as a phenomenal talent with an image of great presence and elegance on stage to be very human, struggling to overcome insecurities. It gives one a look at the backstage, underside of fame, complete with its deep disappointments and its celebration of music and life.
