People forget he was a Rock and Roll superstar with multiple million dollar singles and was in a few movies , for 10 years before he ever went into Country music
This is false Conway Twitty Was Rock and Roll For 9 years leaving after the British Invasion The took Rock and Roll Over .It's Only Make Believe Came Out in 1958 and The Lion Of Rock and Roll stayed Until 1965.
I loved this song when I first heard it on my transistor radio. I begged my mom to take me to the record store so I could get the 45. I still have it. Mmmmm. That sexy growl. I always watched Dick Clark on Saturday night, so I saw this first-run, and not again until now. I still have my "IFIC" button. Thanx muchly for sharing this little treasure! RIP, darlin' Conway, and thanx so very much for the magic, music, and memories.
I was 7 years old when I first saw this and fell in love. I've got multiple recordings of this through the years on his albums and can tell the difference in each one. Cannot imagine how many times I've listened to it. It will be played at my graveside when I die
Probably the greatest lyric starved song of all time. Such a powerful voice combined with incredibly talented backup singers. Thank you Mr. Harold L. Jenkins aka Conway Twitty
I’m here because I heard this song in an old 80s movie, and I thought it was Elvis until I liked it up. Now I’ve listened to it like a Dozen times since lastnite!
I loved Conway from this first hit. I saw him in person a couple of times - better looking in person than the camera showed. I’ve never seen this clip. Thanks for posting it.
Exito grabado en 1958...por el gran CONWAY. TWYTTY...teniendo 10 años por alla por el año 60...escuchaba este exito. Del gran conway...claro que solo em la radio...hoy despues de mas de 60 años te veo en tv...gracias conway abrazos hacia el cielo y descansa en paz. ⚘️⚘️⚘️👍
What I ❤ about this song is that it is not so "contryfied" like his other songs. By the way Conway lived for a few years in Southside of Oklahoma City.
The Lion Of Rock And Roll 🎸 If Anyone Knows Conway Twitty aka Conrad Birdie They Know He Needs To Find His Home In The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Along With His Rock Brothers Elvis And Ricky And Jerry Lee ❤
This was Conway’s memorable first major hit that reached #1, sold a million records, and spent five months on Billboard’s Hot 100. It was the hot song of summer and fall of '58. I believe it. I absolutely love this song and this single record version in particular. This Beech-nut show appearance of Conway was of him lip syncing to his hit record. These and other performances were the MTV videos of their day. The artists that appeared on Beech-nut usually lip synced to their records. Very few actually performed live. Regardless, this music video strikes a chord with so many, including me. It was a 2 minute power ballad of the time. This is my favorite Conway song with "Hello Darlin" as a close second.
