'Quando, Quando, Quando (Tell Me When)'
The Hollywood Palace, 1969
No artist looks comfortable lip-synching, but Engelbert Humperdinck (the stage name of the Anglo-Indian singer Arnold Dorsey, b. 1936) does pretty well in this segment of the ABC variety show The Hollywood Palace from October, 25, 1969.
It helps that 'Quando Quando Quando' is a great song (it's an Italian pop song first recorded in 1962, and one of the best-selling singles of all time).
[Believe it or not, another artist appearing on that same show was British skiffle star Lonnie Donnegan, who sang 'Keep on the Sunny Side' ?! ]
The choreographed gyrations and booty-shakings of the accompanying dancing girls make it clear that the on-stage antics that are standard for many pop singers today are nothing new, after all..........
