This country legend held the record for the most #1 hits by a country artist with 55. But that record fell in 2008 when George Strait passed that magic number.

His real name was Harold Lloyd Jenkins. His stage name it was reported, came from looking at a road map and seeing Conway Arkansas, and Twitty Texas. He grew up in Friars Point Miss and his dad, who was a Ferry Boat Captain that crossed the Mississippi to Helena Ark, showed him a few chords on the guitar.

Fate nearly saw him become a professional baseball player with the Philadelphia Philies right out of high school, but a draft into the Army put an end to that plan. When he was discharged, he heard Elvis ... and that convinced him he could do what Elvis was doing ... blend different styles of music.

His monster hit "Its Only Make Believe", was written by Conway and his drummer between sets while they were touring and doing a show in Hamilton Ont Canada. A DJ in Ohio liked it better than the A side and began playing it and its popularity spread nationwide.

Mr. Twitty was married three times and was the father of four children. In 1971 Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn formed a partnership as a duet. Boy did they put out some great songs.


Sadly on jun 5th, 1993 we lost this gifted performer. Conway Twitty was only 59 when he died.

Conway was on his tour bus after finishing a performance in Branson Missoui and started complaining about serious abdominal pain. He was immediately taken to Cox South Hospital in Springfield Missouri where he later passed away. The cause of death was from an abdominal arotic aneurysm, which is common in men between 65 and 75.

It was a case where Conways abdominal arota balloned and then burst, creating a large blood loss into the abdominal cavity. 90% of people this happens to do not survive.
