“Conway Twitty Sings”; “Lonely Blue Boy”; “The Rock & Roll Story”; “Sings Portrait Of A Fool” plus 12 bonus tracks.
Harold Lloyd Jenkins better known as Conway Twitty can probably thank his Welsh heritage for his incredible vocal talent. Named by his father after the great silent film star he quickly changed it after seeing the towns Conway and Twitty on a road map while on tour. Probably more Rockabilly than Rock n Roll he came from a country background and his ambition always seemed to be headed towards a pure country sound, which of course he achieved with spectacular success in the seventies and eighties. Meanwhile back in the fifties he made his name on the Rock n Roll and Rockabilly circuit always with a giant nod to the pop charts for good measure. We will leave you with a quote from his fine album “Conway Twitty Sings”…“A great new singing star has come along in Conway Twitty - a star whose lustre is sure to grow as the years go by. You see, when his first hit waxing was done, Conway had just passed his twenty third birthday” …..from “Conway Twitty Sings”
