🐎This song came out when I was 10yrs old or so. My sister is 6yrs older than me an was into Rock and Roll. The house was full of Conway , Elvis and the ones my dad called " The Hanks ". When we'de get in the truck he'd say " Turn on the radio and we can listen to some Hanks". At that time the big acts included, Hank Thompson, Hank Williams, Hank Locklin, Hank Snow and Hank Cochron. All of them were around in the same era and all had hit songs on tv shows and radio, Chances were when you turned on the radio in the late 50s you would hear at least 2 if not more of them before the radio got turned off.

Hi Cash and Bev. This was definitely before my time - computer says this was #1 in the UK in 1958, and the songwriting was credited to "Conway Twitty / Jack Nance". I take it this was a pop version, because it didn't sound very C&W to me. I don't mind a bit of country - I have both the original (C&W) and the "International" (pop) versions of Shania Twain's album, Come On Over - the second version was the album that made her a huge international star outside North America. I liked this song, it is familiar to me, probably from the radio my mother listened to back in the '60s and '70s. Conway's other top ten hit in the UK was Mona Lisa in 1959, which reached #5. Full glass of wine, thank you, and I hope you have a great weekend.
Finally, a channel with people my age!! Hello you pretty and lovely ladies! Great reaction. You two know what great music is! Can't wait to hear more from you!
I grew up with this song and for some reason it always fascinated me, still does. There is something about his voice that hits you. For me, it is not just a song, but an important part of my live. Didn't have a clou what the song was about in those days, but with my unlimited fantasy that wasn't really a problem. And ladies, you still rock. Greeting from the Netherlands.
What a nice song ! That earned a full bottle of wine, in my book ! 👍🎉🎈great reaction ladies! And a great post video conversation as well. Thanks much for the great upload 🙂🎶
Check out Billy Fury's Version. My Idol, was born in Liverpool, England in 1940. As well as singing this, he wrote songs and his first LP, The Sound of Fury is considered the best Rock n Roll release ever and he was discovered before the Beatles. He was so handsome, so shy and animal lover, especially the birds. He died in 1983 and was only 42, just like his idol, Elvis Presley. They also met each other. xx
Twitty was an iconi presence, and still is in country music...come on gals give us some Led Zeppelin 1973 the Garden concert! 69 years old and I still listen to them! They are the GOATS! 😎
Gotta say, I love you two ladies! I grew up listening to country, HATED it then, so I went HARD METAL! I've since learned to admire it. My parent's both sang country all over the NJ area, highly doubtful their names would have made it to TX. I'm still MOSTLY metal, and happy to see you both tackle a heavy one now and then. Since I've JUST discovered you both, I'm not sure if you've reviewed this band or not.... but I would LOVE to see you review Slipknot (this may get a bit complicated) Psychosocial, Slipknot "Snuff", Stone Sour "Bother", Corey Taylor live, ANY song. Corey Taylor is the singer for all of it. ANYWAY, I LOVE to see some genuine respect for the original "DOO" that is Conway Twitty. And as one rocker (can't recall HIS name) said, if you want to know how to play THAT riff, ask Roy Clark! He's the best guitar, banjo, anything player you've ever heard!! Ladies, keep the glasses full, and sipping often. :D
Great tune and timeless im more into prog rock but classics are classics regardless of musical genre 👍 I grew up hearing this in our family home but sung by Glen Campbell , lovely reaction 👍 have a great Sunday x
Conway Twitty! Lots of good stuff in his catalog. "Hello, Darlin", and with Loretta Lynn: "As Soon As I Hung Up The Phone" and a funny one "You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly", and his later ones: "Julia" and "That's My Job", which discusses a father-son relationship, highly recommended. As for this song, 5 brews 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
The story I heard was he saw the names on a road map, Conway Arkansas and Twitty Texas. I'm a Texan, so I like that version of the story better. haha Conway must have been the most loved country singer ever. Such a great man and singer.
I think this was actually not pop but considered Rock n roll as that was the genre he was in for 10 years before he switched over to country. It's amazing to me well into his mid 50s Conway completely nailed this song live and sounded every bit as good as it did when it was originally released. Also, I think the story was he looked at a map and saw Conway, Texas and Twitty, Arkansas and that's how he came up with his name.

Conway was my Granny’s “Sugar Man” and she saw him live! I love that man and voice! What a range!
My mom loved him. She would get goose bumps every time she heard his voice.

I’m not much into country I mostly listen to metal but Conway twitty is one of my favorite country singers
This song came from before he moved into country. He was originally a rock & roll/pop singer. This came from1959!

This song was written by Conway while he was doing a show in Hamilton Ontario. he was in the Holiday Inn before the show and wrote the song...

It's nice to hear more from Bev about her background and see this video of Conway. Thanks, Cash! :) Cheers from northeast Ohio.

Conway never recorded or sang a bad song. He was consistent his entire career.

Never heard any other cover of this song. Conway was a class act.
John Bon Jovi covered it…did a really good job…but no one,NO ONE can say imitate Conway
The story I heard was he saw the names on a road map, Conway Arkansas and Twitty Texas. I'm a Texan, so I like that version of the story better. haha
Conway must have been the most loved country singer ever. Such a great man and singer.
Conway wrote this song. He started in Rock-'n'-roll in 55. The only cover I've ever heard of this song was by Ronny McDowel
Thanks!!!🍷🍷🍷
He sounds as good as he did when he released it in 1955
He has a good range !
I think this was actually not pop but considered Rock n roll as that was the genre he was in for 10 years before he switched over to country. It's amazing to me well into his mid 50s Conway completely nailed this song live and sounded every bit as good as it did when it was originally released.
Also, I think the story was he looked at a map and saw Conway, Texas and Twitty, Arkansas and that's how he came up with his name.
It would be more likely considered "pop" when it was released as that was almost at the beginnings of any rock & roll.
Liked and subscribed 😁
Wings for Maria/10,000 Days by the group TOOL
