Song: Slow Hand
Album: Southern Comfort
Like I said previously, I'm not going into full biographies anymore. Not that you don't already know who Conway Twitty is. I mean, the man is a legend. He held the record for most number one hits in country music until George Strait broke that record in 2006. Conway passed away in 1993. That means it took 13 years after his death for his record to be broken. Imagine if her were still with us? George may not have passed him by.
He was born as Harold Jenkins but his producer didn't think that he could market that name. His stage name actually came after they were looking at a map and spotted the towns of Conway, Arkansas and Twitty, Texas. Conway wasn't too happy with the stage name at first, but I think it's safe to say that he came around to it.
I love his music and I really love this song. I was going back and forth on whether to post Conway's or the cover that Mike Ryan did recently. I decided to feature Conway, but I'm still going to share the Mike Ryan video because I love how he took the sound and didn't take away from what Conway made famous, he expanded on it with his own twist. I'm featuring Mike Ryan for tomorrow's artist.
Anyway, let me know what you think of both Conway and Mike.
