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
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
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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 ❤

Wonderful song, wonderful time.
AND ... before all this music stuff ... The Philadelphia Phillies wanted him
@@marcusgrigsby446 Didn't know that.
one thing he and Roy Orbison have in common: at times their voices just don't seem like they could be real.
Transcends time.....they'll never get old.
This is true! 🤔😲🤗
This was his appearance on Dick Clark's Beech Nut show back in January of 59, about 6 months after It's Only Make Believe was released.

Everything you just said.
when a crooner belts out a song, it really hits hard.
This song takes me back to my childhood days in Mississippi. My uncle and I loved Conway Twitty.
I’m from Mississippi too. I knew him, his mama and daddy, and I went to high school with his son Michael. 😎🎸 Fine folks! ♥️♥️
I cannot tell you how much i love this song, and this man. Even now in 2023. ❤
Hello how are you doing??
Conway died too early ! In 1993
Conway Twitty's first #1 song. He had 53 more #1 songs after this. Unbelievable.
Can you name them?
@@garystevens4303
Please name them...
@@klmegm197682 you need to be asking Rusty King, as I did.

I was about 7 years old when I heard this the first time. It is still a favorite.
One of the greatest hits of all time
I agree ,
What happened to the world? Such a nicer, simpler place back then.
Naw,Gary,I was there “back then!” All of us girls went right out in the parking lot & had sex in the backseat of our boyfriends car!
@@DippyHippie oh my! Why did I always miss out. Story of my life!

Thank you...yes he does sound like Elvis. Nothing wrong with your ears.
Awww Conway Twitty he is so handsome and love to hear him sing 😂❤
I love this song so much that I could hear it a hundred times over .
Such a gut wrenching song, never tire of hearing it.
How are you feeling today
How are you feeling today 💯
Music was gold back then
He was a good man!!! Very polite too. Loved his kids like no father I've seen
He's a gift, that's his job to share that wonderful talent.
Man,I loved this song.Sounds like Elvis in parts too.
People at the time thought it was Elvis Presley recording under a pseudonym.
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
One of the great rock and roll songs
Love love love this song.

This song is very special to me. My dad would sing this song to my sister and I when we were little. He sounded pretty good too.
What a special memory and what a special song...🎙🎶
One of my all-time favorites. I used to sing this to my husband of 55 years before we were married. Dancing to this song was unforgettable ❤❤
Oh shit. I did not know this was Conway twitty. Love this song.
The Best Male Country Singer EVER!. Loved all of Conway's songs. No one ever came close to being as good as Conway. Conway fan forever.
1st time hearing this song I was 4 yrs old & never forgot it. Can't find the right words to describe such a song.❤😊❤
Hello how are you??😊😊

Conway 😎😭🙃📀😊👍
His voice is so good 😮❤
And this was before videos were videos! Absolutely PRICELESS!!!!!♥️♥️♥️
Hello how are you??😊😊
The last rock-and-roll song Conway did before going country, His descending the ramp while ramping his vocal scale was inspired.
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.
Believe Conway Twitty Was Rock and Roll 🎸
That's absolutely false. He was doing rockabilly and rocknroll up until 1964!! Make believe was in 1958.
Great Artist-Great Song-Great Era.
Gets me every time he walks through the down the aisle.
Hello how are you today
The song fits the era!
(Song) Released on July 14th, 1958
I was 13 when this came out. I still remember the words. Amazing

His band is the greatest
Delightful. Thank you for posting this. It struck a chord in my heart tonight, on the other side of the world.
Country music at its best !
Not country, Rock and roll
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. 🎸🎶🎸🇺🇸🎸🎶🎸🎶🇺🇸 great performer !
Grateful to Elvis 😊I read that he was the reason Conway went to country music

He was awesome! Seen him concert ladies were wild!
I would like to see a movie about him being pressured not to sing like those Black people like Elvis was banned.
"This is so excellent!!"
Sound great. Thank you for your sincerely comment. I've always loved he's music, how are you doing

Conway ; you know it ! It's only make Believe .
Hello how are you doing?
Beautiful, thank you.
Had my first kiss to this song! I was elevan years old. After the kiss i said, but its only make believe and walked away. For real.
In memory Lynn Kravet 1944-2017
Greatest song ever!
That was great!
Now I know why he was famous.
Before concerts had high crimes. Before songs became degenerate and filthy. Before relationships fell apart everyday.
This was considered "Rock and Roll" in 1958😅
Hello how are you??
I bet Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn are up in Heaven singing again
Hello how are you doing??😊
