Billboard Bits: Humperdinck, Newcomer, Delgados

Engelbert Humperdinck and producer/mixer/engineer Glyns Johns were among those honored with Gold Badge Awards Tuesday in London by the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters. In a career that has spanned three decades, Humperdinck has reportedly sold more than 130 million records; Johns' 40-year career has involved projects with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Who.



Gold Badge Awards, which recognize long-term service to the local music industry, were also given to former BBC Radio 1 head Doreen Davies, drummer Clem Cattini, singer/actress Barbara Windsor, songwriter Graham Gouldman, jazz bandleader Terry Lightfoot, veteran radio host Alan Keith, music publisher Tony Peters, and composers Max Harris and Denis King. British royalty collection society MCPS sponsored the event.
