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, the BBC reports.
The song Humperdinck will perform has yet to be announced but the BBC said it would be recorded in London, Los Angeles and Nashville.
It will be written by Grammy award-winning producer Martin Terefe and Ivor Novello winner Sacha Skarbek, who co-wrote James Blunt hit You’re Beautiful.
Humperdinck — whose real name is Arnold Dorsey — has sold more than 150 million records worldwide during his 45 year career.
