It's like playing that game "telephone" in school. You sit students in a circle and have one after the other whisper a story into the ear of the person next to them. By the time you get to the end of the line, the story being told is wildly different from the one that you started with.

Engelbert Humperdinck

It was when he met up with his old roommate Gordon Mills in 1966, who was then manager for Tom Jones, that the singer's career began to climb.

Mills suggested a new stage name would be far more marketable and so the 30-year-old decided to change his professional name to "Engelbert Humperdinck," borrowing the moniker from the classic German opera composer of the same name. The composer was most famous for the opera "Hansel and Gretel."

In celebration of his 40th anniversary, last September, Humperdinck released "The Winding Road" (Alliance/IDN), a new CD featuring songs he calls "contemporary British classics," all written by the likes of James Blunt, Eric Clapton, Elton John, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Christine McVie and Sting.

To go along with his new album, Humperdinck also launched his new 100-city world tour which kicked off in Nevada earlier this year. He'll be centerstage tonight at the Star Plaza Theatre in Merrillville.

Crossroads @ 9pm
Sara Evans is a little bit country and Maroon 5 is a little bit rock-and-roll, but there's plenty of common ground as tonight's show illustrates. Here they collaborate on Evans' "I Could Not Ask for More" and "Some Things Never Change," as well as Maroon 5's "This Love," "She Will Be Loved" and "Won't Go Home Without You." They also cover a song that was originally a duet by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley: "Leather and Lace."

Ghost Whisperer @ 8pm
Melinda Gordon tries to help the dead communicate with loved ones, `but sometimes the messages she receives are intense and confusing. Tonight, she looks into a 1979 murder trial prosecuted by her father, hoping to find a connection to his disappearance.
