Could you imagine the classic Conway Twitty song 'Hello Darlin' with Conway singing the first line?
Well, neither could producers for today's KLAW Classic. For some reason, singing the line just didn't work, so they suggested Conway speak the line, and the rest in history
Did you know that Conway Twitty had his own city? Well, at least it was nicknamed 'Twitty City'! Conway Twitty owned a home in Henderson Tennessee that was dubbed 'Twitty City' for all of the displays on his property.
This week's Saturday morning K-LAW Classic was #1 39 years ago today - August 18th, 1973.
Although its sultry style recalls the Pointer Sisters' first Top Ten hit, "Slow Hand" was not written for the group; in fact John Bettis would state "the Pointer Sisters were the furthest act from his mind".
Today's KLAW Classic is honoring a great Country Artist that we lost 19 years ago today.
Today's Classic comes from this day 37 years ago. Harold Lloyd Jenkins is his real name, be we know him as Conway Twitty! This was his 14th No. 1 song.
Join me this morning as we will be spotlighting Harold Lloyd Jenkins. We know him better as Conway Twitty.
