1982.. Digitally remastered with high-quality audio and AI remaster. Release Me” made Engelbert Humperdinck a star after years of trying; but he wasn’t the only singer at a low ebb who benefited from a lucky break provided by this ballad. The song itself has been sung in many genres: in the US, it is viewed as a country ballad, but it has also seen service as a soul heartbreaker. It kept music-publishing lawyers in clover for years. And for one cultural commentator, “Release Me” was a symptom of a cultural revolution.
Humperdinck’s version of “Release Me” has the distinction of holding the number one slot in the UK for six weeks during March and April 1967, preventing the Beatles' "Penny Lane" / "Strawberry Fields Forever" double A-sided single from reaching the top spot. Humperdinck's "Release Me" was also the highest selling single of 1967 in the UK, recording over one million in sales. Actual sales stand at 1.38 million copies.
