Release Me

Release Me (also known as 'Release Me (and Let me Love Again)' or 'Release Me (Let Me Go)') is the title of a song originally written in 1949 although best known in pop culture for the version recorded by British artist Engelbert Humperdinck, a UK no.1 in March 1967.

Humperdinck's debut single, Release Me b/w Ten Guitars remained at the top spot in the UK for six consecutive weeks during March and April 1967, and is famous for keeping The Beatles' single Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane from going to no.1 for three of those weeks.

His follow-up There Goes My Everything reached no.2 in June of the same year (held back by Procul Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale), while a third single release The Last Waltz gave him his second and final no.1 in September. 

Release Me became the title track of Humperdinck's debut album which reached no.6 in September 1967.
