Engelbert Humperdinck – the velvet-voiced crooner who captivated millions during the 1960s and 70s – left behind a treasure trove of romantic ballads. Among them, “You’re Easy to Love” stands out not only as a sweet melody, but also as a hidden story of sincerity, simplicity, and deep affection toward both loved ones and his devoted audience.
A Sweet Song from the Heart
Released as a highlight in Engelbert’s catalog, “You’re Easy to Love” shines with its tender lyrics and warm arrangement.

A Dedication to Fans and Family
