      I'm 62 this year and I have watched Conway Twitty go from black and white screen to living color. Oh how this man could move me! I love all the performers of this era. They made sense. The lyrics meant something special and there was a great story in every song. May they all rest in peace.

      @@shugharris4050 I’m only 45 but my folks are about 80…they laid the foundation of my life with golden oldies playing in the background…this still touches my soul in a way nothing else can, I miss all the greats SO MUCH, something is definitely missing today. I can still see my parents doing the jitter bug like a couple super heroes, man were they great too! I’m really going to miss this generation, they were like nothing else, irreplaceable.😢❤ Much love to ya Shug!
      P.S. If we could make them all twenty again, they would put a woopin’ on all the nonsense and problems happening today…they just wouldn’t be having it, we would unite and kick it’s ass, no problem…let’s hope we can muster up their old school mojo and save the planet.

    As a child I watched the Dick Clark shows on a black and white screen. It took me YEARS to learn he was lip-syncing the whole time! But wow oh wow...he sure did a heck of a job doing it! I love Conway Twitty. Always have and always will. It also didn't take me long to notice the similarities in his moves and Elvis Presley's moves. Just look at the clip near the end after he's up on stage. There!.....there is Conway's moves which came BEFORE Elvis! There you have it! But Elvis took it to another level, didn't he? And man oh man DID he! Great performers gone to rest. I love you guys!

      Sure seems that way, however I promise you that according to history the 50's still had it's fair share of bigotry, maliciousness, and violence. But it also had its positively wonderful and extraordinarily amazing elements as well. I honestly feel that regardless of era, all the negative events that takes place makes all our positive experiences even that much more exquisite, because without them we just would not appreciate the finer points that life has to offer.

    This icon will. Be today tomorow and forever a icon,, his songs were always heart felt,, everytime he sang he put it right to the edge and sang his heart out, l Remeber when he sang,, that he once said l sang this song,, be cause l was deep. In love with another guys wife,, and l use to love the growl in his voice that he sang from the heart,, he seemed like he was crying in his voice, all his records were hits at my partys nothing like his songs they made u cry, made u sigh,,. Made u feel emotional, all my friends would cry with the songs of his,, every song was a story of life a man and a woman so deep in love with another, and. He brought those songs into pure solid gold,, every song he will always always be remembered as pure gold,,,

    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.

    Brings tears to my eyes! I was a 9th grader when Conway came along with ONLY MAKE BELIEVE & my favorite song. But he came along the same time Elvis did and the media & public wasn't very nice to him. They said he tried to sound like and be like Elvis on the rock & roll side. He did appear on Dick Clark's American Bandstand but shortly after the Country music side picked him up & the rest is history. Along time ago.At 74 I hope to hear Hello Darling when I get to the gates! I'd love to see Michael & Tre-God Bless You both for carrying on his music. I don't travel much would love to see you before I die. Love from WY

    The travelogue in Dick Clark's intro to this is a masterpiece in and of itself. Setting the tone for what would prove to be legendary music with mention of classics by Meredith Willson and Rodgers & Hammerstein. Amazing! What the heck ever became of "Whoop Up" though?B.W.

    The Great Conway Twitty!... His early songwriting got off to a big start, with this song. He not only wrote it, but made it a smash hit!.. It's Country Music where he found his loyal and appreciative audience, including my Mom and then me. Love Conway!.. Conway and Loretta Lynn will always be Country's to singing duo, in my opinion.
    I loved Beach Nut gum!...

      The great vocal quartet The Jordanaires backed him on this tune. If you get a chance listen to an early Roy
      Orbison song from his Sun Record days called "Rockhouse". Conway wrote that one under his real name
      Harold Jenkins.

    The reason you hear Elvis in Conway is because the man was influenced by Elvis. It's not hard to find clips of Conway saying this himself. Elvis was a huge influence on him. It's not a freaking conspiracy. lol Anyway, thanks to NRRArchives for posting this! :)

      Also at height of Elvis' popularity other record companies sought Elvis sound-alikes including Conway Twitty and Chicago's Ral Donner. Tho not an Elvis sound-alike Pat Boone also jumped on the bandwagon with covers of Little Richard and Fats Domino songs giving himself newfound fame on the charts. On the other hand Eddie Fisher stuck with being a Perry Como/Frank Sinatra wannabe and his popularity as a recording artist fizzled, overwhelmed by Rock n Roll. ♣

      @YellowstoneBound1948 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      shango02005 You are absolutely correct, Shango. Ricky Nelson, Terry Stafford, Ral Donner, and many others were clearly influenced by Elvis, and made no attempt to deny that influence.
