Arnold George Dorsey tells his life story. From his early interest in music as a teenage singer/ saxophonist to the reasons why he changed his name twice.

More big hits followed - The Last Waltz, There Goes My Everything, Am I That Easy to Forget. In this programme,
Engelbert talks about his music and the problems and pleasures of international stardom.
