Engelbert Humperdinck and His Son Brad Dorsey Unite for Heartfelt Duet “I’ve Got Dreams”
LOS ANGELES — In a rare and emotional collaboration, legendary crooner Engelbert Humperdinck has teamed up with his son, Brad Dorsey, for a touching new duet titled “I’ve Got Dreams.” The song — a stirring blend of timeless melody and heartfelt lyrics — bridges generations, proving that the spirit of music and family runs deep in the Humperdinck legacy.
At 89, Engelbert shows no sign of slowing down. Known worldwide for his velvet voice and romantic classics like “Release Me” and “The Last Waltz,” the singer brings a lifetime of emotion to this new track. “I’ve Got Dreams” is more than just a song — it’s a conversation between father and son about hope, perseverance, and the power of shared love.
In an exclusive interview, Engelbert described the project as one of the most personal of his career. “Music has always been part of my family’s soul,” he said. “Singing with Brad wasn’t just about recording a song — it was about capturing a piece of who we are. This song is about dreams that never fade, no matter your age or how many times life tests you.”
Brad Dorsey, who inherited not only his father’s smooth tone but also his emotional depth, called the experience “a dream come true.” “I grew up watching my dad pour his heart into every note,” Brad shared. “To stand beside him in the studio and create something so genuine — it was magical. ‘I’ve Got Dreams’ is really our story. It’s about never giving up, about finding strength in family and in music.”
The song’s lyrics, co-written by Brad and long-time Humperdinck collaborator Mike Read, echo a message of optimism and legacy. With lines like “I’ve got dreams that don’t grow old / They’re written in my heart of gold,” the track captures both the nostalgia of Engelbert’s golden era and the fresh sincerity of a new generation.
The accompanying music video, filmed partly at Engelbert’s Los Angeles home, offers an intimate glimpse into their bond. Scenes of Engelbert and Brad sharing laughter, old photographs, and a tender piano moment create a visual love letter to both family and fans. “When you’ve lived as long as I have,” Engelbert said with a smile, “you realize your greatest duet partner is time — and if you’re lucky, your son.”
Fans have responded with overwhelming warmth, calling the collaboration “a beautiful passing of the torch.” On social media, one fan wrote, “It’s like hearing Engelbert’s voice in a new light — the legacy continues.”
As the song climbs digital charts and collects millions of streams, Engelbert remains humble. “It’s not about the numbers,” he said softly. “It’s about touching hearts. If this song inspires someone to keep dreaming — then we’ve done what we set out to do.”
With “I’ve Got Dreams,” Engelbert Humperdinck and Brad Dorsey prove that music — much like love — only grows stronger with time.
