by Cub KodaA straight-up 1998 compact disc reissue of an album originally released in 1972, Live at the Riviera, Las Vegas captures the smooth-crooning Engelbert Humperdinck at the peak of his popularity. With soulful vocal backing provided by the Three Degrees, Humperdinck turns up the ballad quotient and delivers with assurance on numbers like "My Prayer," "Help Me Make It Through the Night," a strident "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "It's Impossible." A greatest-hits medley and a set-closing "Release Me" complete the highlights.
