British crooner Engelbert Humperdinck is to represent the UK at this year's Eurovision Song Contest.
The 75-year-old, dubbed the "King of Romance", is best known for his 1967 hit Release Me, which kept The Beatles' Strawberry Fields Forever off the number one spot.
<beatlesgeek>it was actually a double A side, Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane. IMO The Beatles best single and, after 11 straight number ones, it was kept off the top spot by...that . The songs were originally intended for Sgt Pepper but as the album was taking so long to record they released the single so the fans had something new to listen to while they waited.</beatlesgeek>
