Flashback Friday 10 • 'Back to School Memories' with Engelbert Humperdinck

[@lorraineflachs3036]

You showed them, Engelbert! So happy for the life and successes you have had in your 84/uh, 54 years! You are the perfect man! Love you so!😘❤️🥰

[@patnacinovich7126]

Your family taught you well Englebert....you are a very classy man and totally professional on stage. Never change!💞💞💞

[@LittleClovers]

The kids and the teachers that abused you didn't know the talented genius that you are. You learned everything from your family! The schools can't take any credit. I hate to hear that you were mistreated because you are surely are the nicest man! Love you, Engelbert. Stay safe! God bless!

[@peggychabala5493]

Not liking school early on, and not having an extensive formal education, has not taken anything away from you, Engelbert. I perceive you as a very intelligent and well~rounded individual. I was a high school English teacher, and it was always my belief that a person could educate oneself by reading extensively and interfacing with people. And, learning is lifelong. It never stops!

[@susansmith2783]

I’m so sorry you were treated that way.... but, that’s probably why you have compassion for people. God loves you .

[@connieclayton9150]

The ugly duckling turned into a "gorgeous swan." I love how you share your stories with everyone and you always put yourself right along with everyone else, and you don't let your stardom and wealth go to your head. You are so humble and kind ! As I tell my grandchildren, I love you to the moon and back !

[@jackiecooley5937]

EH is such a fascinating man! The teachers and people of his younger days just couldn't recognize the "genius" he would become. Love him!

[@karlied6175]

Thank you for sharing what so many have gone through and still go through. People can be so cruel. You ended up the better man. We love you!! Stay safe❤️

[@darlenestiles9253]

You rose above it and you are not bitter. That's your reward. You have a good heart and are a gentle soul. Let the past, be...the past. 👍

[@jjnitazal2212]

I'm 24 years old now 😃 I always playing the songs of EngelBert Humperdinck yeahhhh 😍😍😍

[@diannawilliams761]

So sorry you were treated that way in school, I was also. Maybe they knew we were kindhearted and loved people? I learned more out of school myself. I felt like a prisoner and unliked. I love outdoors and animals and people, been to Africa as a missionary but they helped me as well, developed me further looking within, searching my heart, they had nothing but lots of love.

[@miriamhansen9234]

Great story about your childhood and how you have learned from others and taught yourself so much since. Hearing how you learned many of your talents from your family is wonderful. It's wonderful how much your love of family show in your life. God bless you and all your family.

[@judithnaylor9647]

You are such an intelligent proper man. Very classy. Your family taught you well. Thank you for this story. I never liked school either but I didn't turn out quite as well as you my dear. Your the best. ❤❤❤❤

[@patsoady7104]

Love to hear your stories! You’ve had an interesting life, from your childhood to now! Someone taught you to communicate with people and keep them interested while you talked...that is a gift, like your singing.😀😀👏👏

[@marthashales8070]

🎤🎶 I enjoyed your story about your school, your turned out to be a great person from your learning after. That’s why you are such a gentleman today. ❤️🎼

[@cherylmccrory]

So sorry you had a rough time in school. No one deserves to be treated that way. As the saying goes, what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. You have proven, not only to your classmates and teacher, but to the whole world, what an incredibly successful and talented man you are. You are so loved around the world. So glad your beautiful family was there for you and so influential in your education. You were blessed to have such an amazingly talented mom and a dad that taught you about integrity and manners. You are a sweet, kind, amazing, brilliant and most loving man! So glad you are “YOU.” No ugly duckling or swan. You are majestic! ❤️

[@judymonroe6573]

So true, Very well said !

[@barbararuiz8955]

Lovely, It’s always so interesting to hear the storyteller from someone who has earned such acclaim.❤️

[@laurisontowski7686]

Hi Enge..I'm sorry some of your memories of school days weren't so good..I'm glad you had your older siblings... who taught you alot...you are SMART MAN!!!...Look what you have accomplished in your amazing life and career...love you always!!!!

[@TYT695]

You are about the same age as my dad... With you giving these advice, I think I still have my virtual dad now.. It's you sir!

[@lindaszatkowski5119]

Engelbert this was a beautiful story. This is why you are a classy and handsome man and you are the best. 😘💖

[@debbiepaiotti8191]

Linda Szatkowski and a man who loves God🙏🏻 such a difference.... this is what people are missing🙏🏻💛

[@zenaidamagno8571]

I'm here again watching you. My love

[@YeEt-fj2gf]

[@zenaidamagno8571]

Thanks my love for liking my message to you. Loves you forever.

[@cathygreen4513]

Engelbert you are just a wonderful man, that's why we all love and look to here from you each week. Love your story.

[@auntimona143]

Enge, you are just too funny and you don't even realize it. Love Tuesday and Fridays now. You are a wonderful family man. Love you, Mona

[@luannthibodeau58]

Another beautiful story. The teachers that you had certainly were not what they should have been, that's for sure. Thank God you had a wonderful family that was always there to help you. And today, as you have done throughout your career, you are helping folks in ways that you will probably never know. Thanks for all that you do and for who you truly are, a great human being, inside and out.

[@Desilewie]

Those that can, do. Those that can’t, teach. I guess he showed that teacher!

[@CH-eg3nm]

I love your cross ..love the stories..God Bless

[@jenhall6184]

Thank you Engelbert for sharing your childhood stories with us. I've found since my days in school that schools today are really not teaching the way we were taught. It's amazing how you learn the different languages for countries you have concerts. That takes a lot of intelligence & you do have a lot. Take care & stay safe.

[@donnarosesidoti5990]

Thank you for sharing the bad memories as well as the good ones. I'm so happy you became so successful and handsome. Take that you bullies! You are incredibly intelligent and master everything you try. Those experiences I think made you the humble man you are today. What a blessing to have that wonderful family of yours!

[@rosaliarios9311]

Thank you so much for sharing wonderful stories about your life. You are a wonderful person. May God bless you and your family always and for ever. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@joymiles3239]

Eng you are amazing. You turn the worst situations into something positive and good. I really admire that about you. You are a special person.

[@carolsan9494]

Thank you for sharing this. It helps people of all ages to know that even someone as popular and accomplished as you had to endure torment at school and persevered. You most definitely grew into a swan.

[@sompolsridrake4141]

Thank you Enge for your wonderful flashback story,I can see why you have become the awesome,beautiful man today!!!God Blessed you and your family for ever more !!!

[@patriciaderi9418]

Engelbert I love this story of your young school days! You were probably a good student. Love you Engelbert and all you do!❤🙏🏼🌺😷 !

[@diannawilliams761]

You and your family have something within no one can touch. You are such a treasure, singing is just the icing on top.

[@dianebadeau718]

His wonderful to learn some of your story every Friday thank you, Engelbert, we love you so much have a very nice day sincerely Diane

[@gaylemamabutterfly]

Hi Engelbert....Kids can be cruel. My son got the "business" at school too. You both turned out pretty good! ...... Always good to keep learning...it's what keeps our brains sharp.

[@jacquelineireland2273]

Being bullied made you stronger...you beautiful beautiful swan. And what a wonderful life you have provided for your family. That must help heal the slights you experienced in school knowing you have educated your children so finely. Love the personal and professional stories you are sharing. And love you.

[@wilcox728]

You are the man of my dreams, maybe in another lifetime. I can listen to your stories and life lessons, just an incredible talent and love of life.

[@НинаНоженко-к4т]

Good afternoon, Mr. Engelbert. Thanks for the memories. School years are not always fun. But what a wonderful family you have. I love you, I respect your family. Good health to you, dear Dorsey.

[@sylvialovett7795]

[@annsileo9703]

Your warmth, your humility and compassion, how could anyone not adore you when you were younger. Well guess whose laughing now. May Our Lord wrap you in his comforting light and bless you with good health in the years to come.🙏🙏🙏

[@brendawheeler2937]

So sorry that you went through all that at school Engelbert. Thank you for sharing ... love you 🇨🇦 💝

[@menagooding6293]

What a wonderful story , sir. funny and reminds me of my own childhood and early school days.

[@NOVEMBER5TH2024]

I would have never guessed this happened to you. It’s amazing in the 1970’ none of us knew you were bullied in school. We just watched you on stage, and KZbin wasn’t around.

[@erlindarucinas2887]

Nice to hear Enge ur flashback friday on schooldays,great

[@benniewright875]

You are the most handsome man in the world You are so brilliant; you are the best singer in the world; you are very, very talented. I know all those people that harassed you, to include the teacher are so sorry and hate they all were with the most talented person to be in the world and they missed out on the recognition. Love to you Sir; thank you for Flash Back Friday.

[@jannetjebicker4648]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us, I am sad to hear that you had such a hard time at school and I am glad everything turned a 180 degrees for you!😊👍❤️💐😘

[@bonniehausmann7845]

I believe traveling & meeting people is an education in itself. I know a couple people who are self taught. Well read, classy and manners plus. If you want it for yourself, one can learn from watching others, books and become who you want. You are a very classy, charismatic, talented gentleman. Shame on those who treat people bad for whatever reason. Tough times make us better people. My dear mother always said, "It doesn't cost a thing to be kind to others!"

[@rolener]

So good to know old-school days were not enjoyable a smack for anything the teacher didnt like.I wasnt the only one.

[@jackieblackburn1343]

I love hearing about your personal life. It is very interesting. I'm sure all your fans enjoy it also. I really enjoyed your book, and I hope you will write another one.

[@gwenbrashier1884]

Jackie, his book was amazing, and I hope he writes another one soon. X

[@liliacarreon8167]

Felicidades, usted es una persona muy talentosa e inteligente y un cantante excepcional .

[@arthureverett8220]

Dear Sir Englebert: I went through the same bs when I went to junior high. I came home beat up all the time and my grades went down the toilet. I went to answer my draft notice and was rejected due to my poor eyesight. My father yanked me out of that school and enrolled me into Rhodes private school in midtown Manhattan. Had much trouble with mathematics and took early morning math classes to bring my grades up. I had a great math instructor and graduated with a high school diploma and went to NYC technical College to major in industrial arts education. Ended up as an electronic technician and serviced electronic entertainment equipment such as color tv,stereo audio systems,radios. When electronic equipment became throw away electronics,I became a cargo van expedite driver in 1998 and still work as one today. I have been to Southern California many times delivering light freight. I always wanted to meet you. You are my favorite male singer

[@DidiBrit]

All good wishes to you and Mrs H. 🎼🎼😇😇😁

[@carolperkins3320]

Love the videos and can't wait to hear what the next topic is. It's like having a backstage pass to a concert, which I longed to have those many years of following you (didn't every woman!). Amazing how much we are all alike to be so different.

[@isabelmachado7922]

I can relate..speaking only Portuguese and not understanding english was tough..when i was bullied i used to think "what's wrong with them" as they say "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" so true, thank you for sharing..🙏💕🍷

[@annabelgolez7075]

[@Ladybugsong]

They wanted to hit you because they were jealous! 😊 Your unique common sense and logic cannot be learned in school anyway. Xxx❤️🐞

[@mariannemamone9643]

Enge, your knowledge is self taught especially from your family and certainly from performing all over the world. Your talents are many and your ever-changing looks throughout the years is nothing short of IRRESISTIBLE and EVERY WOMAN'S DREAM!! (No ugly duckling here) LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!!❤️💋‼️

[@lorrilatteasmr439]

Absolutely Love your Music ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

[@michaelconsuegra7316]

I didn't know Engelbert was never too fond of school. Well, not everyone is. Hell, I wasn't find of school myself. Now I can laugh at it. 😄

[@yvonnevaniersel.8738]

Dear Enge. Too bad not a nice memory of your school days. (I don't have one haha) I think that bullying was pure jealousy, and you didn't have to expect support from your teacher in the past, but you did get that support from your parents and your sisters, and she supported you with all their love. And look where it has taken you, a great world artist, loved all over the world. Enge I say to you "Who laughs last. Laughs best" and that's you. Enge. have a nice weekend stay safe and see you Tuesday, love you. xxx

[@Andrea-kt6ds]

I didn't think anything could raise my spirits. My daughter called me at midnight & had a very big surprise for me. She arranged for a cameo from you!! It was so beautiful hearing you wish me a happy birthday & sing to me as well!!❤ I was overcome with emotion!! I cried many happy tears.Thank you Engel for bringing some joy into this dark moment in my life!!❤ I have watched it several times already, and it will be watched many more times!! Whether you realize it or not, you're helping me cope with what's happening in my life right now❤ I hope when covid is behind us, I can see you and take you up on your offer for a selfie!!❤ On Tuesday when you said you had finished some cameos, I never dreamed one of them was mine!!

[@debbiepaiotti8191]

Dear Englebert, You captured my heart more than before... What you’ve endured reminded me of things I went through and still do. I try to keep my head up and I tell myself “ I’m glad I’m not like them” Thank you for sharing this❤️ I received that treatment from my own family = mother, father, sister, and 3 brothers...and other people, only a few teachers.... Great Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, and other special people told me of my worth and showed me love... Thank you for your beautiful music which I’ve loved since forever ! I would Love to meet you someday !💛 You never know🙏🏻🌈 God bless you. I continue to lift things up to Jesus🙏🏻 He’s taking care of me. I’m so sorry you had to endure these things💔 You’ve changed it around and remained true to you ! I’ve been telling my friends about how you climbed down your mountain ! What a hoot ! Your one heck of a determined man❤️ Love from New Jersey ❤️ God bless you, Patricia, and the whole family 🙏🏻💛🌈

[@catherinejoannides2229]

Enge, love to hear your stories and memories on Fridays, but this made me very sad. Classmates can be very cruel, but teachers? No child should have to endure that kind of treatment. So happy you didn't pay for school busses, because I think it hurt your former teacher rather than the students. Good for you that in spite of all that bad treatment, you turned out to be so successful, and smart. Hope you are pleased with the man you became. I know all your fans are happy. Love you and your music!

[@debbiepaiotti8191]

Catherine Joannides I agree.... and what a man he’s become💛🙏🏻❤️

[@glendamoody4748]

Enge some people can be mean. You are very blessed to have a loving family .that showed you about life along the way of your years. You are a smart nice loving person who cares about others that makes you very unique. So keep being the handsome man with the velvet voice. Your dear friend Glenda in Mobile Alabama. Love to all. Till next time.

[@nanettenn9734]

Oh sweet engel,love your stories I can listen them forever you never bore me. God bless your loving sisters for helping you through your childhood . As far as the bullies at school I bet their all sorry now for not being friends with you. You certainly showed them up ,your the greatest singer in the world ,you my doll had the last laugh on them. I saw baby pictures of you ,you were a beautiful baby and you grew up to be the most gorgeous man in creation with a voice like no other. God bless you always sweet engel,I love you so . Nanette xo xo xo

[@magnificent2224]

Thank goodness school is sort of only the beginning. loved your story EH Having such a lovely family like 2 older sister you were lucky it seems. I wasn't liked much at school BUT did have a great friend and the headmistress who saw my Art/Tennis talent and encouraged it. Good teachers not sadistic ones. loved your story. love a hug one day. (:-))))

[@ФахимаЖилкибаева]

A smart wise talented person❤❤❤❤

[@heniasolomon9226]

It is unfortunate that you were bullied and abused at school by your teacher who slapped you. No wonder you left school at 15, and I commend you for using your intellect and inquiring mind to help you in life. Thank goodness you had loving and great teachers in your sisters and parents. Your ability to learn and master foreign languages is phenomenal and when I hear you sing in Spanish, it feels as if the room's temperature just got a lot warmer. The sensitive boy with the protruding teeth who you call an ugly duckling turned into a beautiful and gorgeous swan. Engelbert that wonderful smile of yours brightens and lights up the world.

[@annymar2237]

Love your Friday stories...you really are very amazing person, all you’re fan wrote all what I will like to tell you, remember I admire you from long time ago...and is incredible how wonderful is to have every week news from you....your Tuesday muse too...many blessings...I follow you in Facebook,and Instagram...is a pleasure....hope you have a great weekend ....

[@patriciahamilton1188]

That same thing happened to me at school as well. I left school at 15 working very hard left Glasgow then went to the south of France I became a managing director took a master’s degree at 50 years old. School in those days were very violent so impossible to learn anything. And as my father was Indian my mother Scottish I wasn’t like every other school child. Well as you say you learn more outside school than inside.

[@firstnamelastname8060]

That was all very interesting, and it all adds up in the fine person you have become. Ugly Swan? Or handsome Duckling?

[@spi11thetea35]

Engelbert thank you sooo much to share all your stories with everyone !! I can listen to you talking for hours...never get tired..!!.Just like when i hear your beautiful songs ! You have a golden voice ! You are very handsome ...a beautiful swan...lol...!! Keep and sing forever please...!! Blessings.🙏🙏🙏 Stella...from Florida..🌞🌴
