Good old Arnold George Dorsey.
Why in the hell would you choose Humpmydonk.
As TFT posted, there was infact a real Englebert.
Whood've thunk it.

And there was another bloke called Jerry Dorsey who played in some band at the time. I seem to remember a Michael Parkinson interview where Humpy explained that he'd been told by his manager to find anothrer name to avoid confusion with the now long forgotten Jerry Dorsey. The rest is history. My Mum saw Englebert Humperdink in Vegas back in the early 80's and at the age of 91 still swoons whenever she hears one of his tunes .

Yeah, Humperdinks real name that sprung to mind was Jerry Dorsey and I was convinced I was mistaken but I wasn't and there was a band leader called Tommy Dorsey so it was a sensible reason to adopt an alias. But Engelbert Humperdink
