我就說嘛，有些歌曲由張三唱或是李四唱都不怎麼樣，偏偏王五一唱就爆紅。這首美國老鄉村歌曲《Release Me》就是這個狀況，被Engelbert Humperdinck（英格伯漢普汀克）一唱成名，1967年在英國排行榜冠軍位置上一口氣就待了六週，但在美國只拿到了第四名。 

有樂評說，對新新人類而言，Engelbert Humperdinck那種中規中矩，音域寬廣及咬字清晰的唱法，是過氣的象徵。我覺得是還好，但要是再溫柔婉約（抒情）一些，像Andy Williams的話，我就不喜歡了。聽說國內歌手楊烈就是以模仿Engelbert Humperdinck起家的。

我認為這也是一首非常經典的西洋老歌，喜歡老歌的人若是沒聽過的話，那可能就有點遜了。

以下的是1989年的演唱版，感覺他益發的成熟穩健，請大家一起來欣賞。 

Please release me, let me go
For I don't love you anymore
To waste our lives would be a sin
Release me and let me love again
I have found a new love, dear
And I will always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold
Release me, my darling, let me go

Please release me, let me go
For I don't love you anymore
To waste my life would be a sin
So release me and let me love again

Please release me, can't you see
You'd be a fool to cling to me
To live a lie would bring us pain
So release me and let me love again
Let me go, let me go
