We Made It Happen/My Cherie Amour/Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head/Love Me With All Your Heart/Words/Something/Everybody's Talkin'/Love For Love/Just Say I Love Her/Wand'rin' Star/My Wife The Dancer/Leaving On A Jet Plane

After three years at the top the Engelbert magic began to fade. We Made It Happen was his first LP not to make it into the top ten or to include a hit single. However, his musical legacy rests secure on his late sixties releases. (US:19 UK:17)

"Engelbert Humperdinck, king of the romantic balladeers, kicked-off the 1970s phase of his career with We Made It Happen, one of his many Decca albums. It is chock-full of beautiful songs including Everybody's Talkin, Wandr'in' Star, Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head and many more."

"The voice of this superstar is so magnificent that he can take your feelings to new levels. I'm so glad to have these songs to listen to, they make every day brighter. He is so smooth and powerful - put it all together and you have a winner."

"If you weren't around in the late 60s and early 70s you could easily have missed these gems. And even if you were there at that time, you could have missed them because Engelbert was not riding the most popular wave of the times. Belting out romantic ballads and cover songs. he was on the other end of the popular spectrum in the age of psychedelic and hard rock. His voice at that time was one of the best around. It had both that ultra smooth bedroom vibe and masculine strength - a rare combination that would appeal to both women and men, mostly women, though."

"This is Engelbert at his best. Always loved his music, and this album is a must for any fan of Engelbert's."

"Engelbert sings from his soul. You know he has loved in his lifetime because he projects it with his music. Thank you for the memories."

"These are songs I grew up listening to and they take me back to a simpler time; good times."

"This album is from the early seventies, when Engelbert was in his absolute vocal prime. This singer is the best balladeer ever, no one could match these vocal performances."
