As compilations go,
Universal
's two-CD
Greatest Hits and More
might be the best sampling of
Engelbert Humperdinck
's work that has yet appeared. All of his best-loved hits are here (including
"Release Me,"
"Les Bicyclettes de Belsize,"
"Quando Quando Quando,"
and
"There Goes My Everything"
), but there are also a few extra tidbits that should keep even longtime fans happy with the program -- most notably, four brand new songs.
"Can't You See,"
a
Humperdinck
original, appears here for the first time, as well as
"Totally Amazing,"
which he co-wrote with the help of his daughter and son-in-law. Also appearing for the first time on record is the touching ballad
"Columns of Grey"
(which features New Zealand's
Christchurch Choir
) and another new song,
"Jerusalem,"
making this collection a little more desirable to fans who, no doubt, already have much of
Engelbert
's "hits" material. ~ J. Scott McClintock
