Synopsis

One of the world's best-loved singing stars shares his story, from his first 10 years in India to life now as a legend—including stories of friends from Muhammad Ali to Elvis Presley

The man known simply as "Enge" by his millions of fans worldwide has sold more than 150 million records and is in the Guinness Book of Records for achieving 56 consecutive weeks on the charts with "Release Me." From living on the dole and receiving last rites with tuberculosis, to buying a Hollywood palace with a heart-shaped pool and a fleet of 14 Rolls Royces, Engelbert wears his "King of Romance" crown so well that horticulturists even named a rose after him. And the love god has certainly lived up to his reputation, indulging in a string of affairs and one-night stands, while remaining happily married to his first love Patricia. Forty years after his early hits Enge is still at the very top, selling out concerts across the world and even representing the UK at the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, recording his entry in London, Nashville, and Los Angeles. Inspired by the warmth of his millions of affectionate fans and the endless support of his wife, Engelbert shares his incredible life story with openness, humor, and astonishing honesty.
