In the case of the new Marvel Cinematic Universe series Moon Knight that premiered on March 30, 2022 via the Disney+ streaming service, the latest member into the Marvel family is none other than legendary vocalist Engelbert Humperdinck who made his entry in the opening scene of “Episode 1: The Goldfish Problem” with his classic song “A Man Without Love” prominently featured in the establishing scene.
“My ‘Superpower’ was to keep this quiet until the show premiered. I’m excited to be part of the Marvel Universe and thrilled that ‘A Man Without Love’ was included on the soundtrack for Moon Knight.” – Engelbert Humperdinck
The impact of the song’s placement was immediately seen on Shazam as the song hit #1 on the US Pop Chart and #4 on the US Top 200 Chart. On Shazam’s Pop chart around the world the single also hit #3 in the UK, #3 in Canada, #4 in Mexico and #6 Globally.
Originally released in 1968 on the album of the same name, “A Man Without Love” reached No. 2 on the U.K. Singles Chart upon release. In the U.S., the single was fifth consecutive Top 40 hit for the singer and a certified million seller, staying in the charts for more than a year.
