Game 15

A soft voice from far away

The record of 1967

The game's question

Let each clue settle before the next, and stop when you can hear the voice.

A singer born far away, who came to Britain as a child. His voice was soft and slow, the kind you listen to with the lights down low on a winter evening, the fire lit. In 1967 his ‘Release Me’ was the best-selling record of the year, with six weeks at number one. Who was he? Circle his name together.

  • Engelbert Humperdinck
  • Frank Ifield
  • Danny Williams
Need a hint?

A long, unusual name: the first part starts a bit like ‘angel’. Hum something slow and let it come.

See the answer

Answer: Engelbert Humperdinck – ‘Release Me’, the best-selling record of 1967.

Why this game : A slow song you both know gives the two of you a quiet moment – and perhaps a winter evening at home to talk about.
