Humperdinck inspired by Tom Jones, who found his Help Yourself in San Remo (see: Occhi Miei). Hump even adopted Italian belcanto with a translation of Leoncavallo's Vesti La Giubba from Pagliacci. Not to be confused with Kenneth McKellar's A Man Without Love, the British entry in the Eurovision Contest in '66.
