Great video! I'm 52 and grew up mainly listening to rock n roll and old-school punk rock. My wife, who is 10 years younger, grew up listening to all the classic country, including Mr. Twitty. I've become a huge fan of classic country, and ESPECIALLY Conway and Loretta duets. Those two really had a special chemistry and never fails to give me goosebumps and/or a tear of joy while listening to them.
Greed took over when Conway died & its so sad. The kids deserved more than what they got. He was their dad my opinion only. Conway was an amazing artist & will always be loved & missed. R.I.P Conway you will always live thru your music thanks for all you gave us. You were absolutely amazing.
Thanks J&B in the Hills for sharing this video, Awesome!!! R.I.P. Conway , love your music , never forget you !!! Now in 2023 I still listen to your music.
Hello Darlin, It's nice to see ya'll! You know we loved this video! I love watching the old videos showing Conway walking around the complex. Sad now seeing it all locked up and not making it a museum for all of us to enjoy. Everything looked so abandoned not just his house. Thanks for this tribute to Conway!
We went to Twitty City several times...especially at Christmas. This made me cry😪My Aunt and I went to see him anywhere he was in a 500 mile radius...met him a few times at FanFare...those were the days. Now he and my Aunt are gone. Thank you for sharing this
Thanks for your post , I enjoyed it Very much , I have been a Fan from my early teens , I will be 62 soon , I was in Nashville in 2019 enjoyed the City and the Opry, so Sad I missed the Opportunity , I will be back Soon from Melbourne Australia . Thanks Once again .
Nice learn who he really was . Thank You for share this video clip. My favorite music artist Conway Twitty. Thank You. Growing up listen to Conway Twitty in 1970s on radio stations and. Loretta Lynn songs back then was small black box radio 9 volt battery size. Lots great memories lane though yrs great songs . Thank You for share this video clip. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎈🎈🎈🎈♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I saw that in Nashville news papers ads was my favorite music artist. Every time hear song , I stop and listen to sing on music row in 1990.
He had that distinct voice that everyone knew and loved… that was back when Country music was real Country music, not like most of what you hear today. Today’s country isn’t country… once in awhile you see an artist do pure country but nothing like it once was when I was growing up.
Thank you so much for this video. I loved it!!! I loved CONWAY and ELVIS....Both from my home state of MISSISSIPPI. I saw them both numerous times all over the SOUTH.. They both left us way to soon...RIP ELVIS AND CONWAY ❤❤❤WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤
Wish I would have know you were here friends! I live in Gallatin and was a tour guide at Twitty City for a number of years. Would have loved to have met you in person and shown you some other great sites around Sumner County! Great video.
Julie Yep.... Harold Lloyd Jenkins Is Conway Twitty. Brenda Webb is Crystal Gail, Loretta Lynn's sister. Shania Twain's full name is Elaine Shania Twain. I'm sure there are other's I don't know about.
Thanks so much for this video. I always listen to Conway Twitty and the Twitty birds Christmas album every year! I am from Nova Scotia Canada so doubt i will ever get to see any of this!
That was really interesting & well done. Bravo to both of you! There was some facts I didn’t know about, Harold. It is a real shame he passed away so young. It was sad, however, interesting to see his final resting place. Best/DVK🇨🇦
I love I stumbled upon this video… I can remember visiting there as a child, my mom was a huge fan!! She met him that day, such a great memory! So sad that it’s not his anymore you’re so correct he was one of the ALL TIME Greats!! Now one of my all time favorites 🤍
Yea it's a shame that they didn't make it into a museum of the Famous Conway Twitty that would've been fantastic.decades ago when Conway was still alive I visited Twitty City and he was there having a show in the background,it was so amazing but wished I could've met him but that didn't happen and now he's gone but never FORGOTTEN ❣️❣️❣️❣️
This made me so sad, I knew his name and some about Twitty City, I didn’t know he passed at only 59. I can’t believe it doesn’t have Conway Twitty at his grave sight. God Bless you RIP. I feel very bad for his children, I’ve been a fan all my life, going to listen to some of his early music im not familiar with and listen for the growl. Thank you, for sharing.
@@jbinthehills I did check out some of his early years, he was awesome. So much like Elvis. I love it. He was so talented, I read the law was changed and named after him, where the wife automatically got the third.
His wife sold it from what I've read and his children tried to get what was rightfully theirs Thank you so much for sharing. It's a shame the place Conway worked so hard to build and have something to share with fans Died with him so sad
I loved to hear Conway sing. I got to go see him at Lanier Land in GA. in the late 80's. He did a beautiful job singing, but he didn't talk that much. Maybe he wasn't feeling well that night. My son was only 2 weeks old when Conway passed away. I seen Loretta Lynn in concert also, but not with Conway. That was in Hiawassee Tennessee in the early 80's. I would have loved to have seen a concert with them together. It's a shame Twitty City isn't still opened. Thank you for sharing this video with us. Oh and one more thing.... seems like one of the Memphis Mafia said that Elvis wanted to sing the song, " It's Only Make Believe " , but the Colonel wanted to make a deal and some how it didn't work out. Seems like I heard that said when I watched all the kings men, but I can't quite remember. 🤔🤪😁😉❤🤩
Y’all grew up with my parents and there friends getting together on weekends listening too Conway all of us kids dancing and having fun great Memories Thanks y’all
My grandma loved the duets by Conway and Loretta, she had all their albums they did together. I can remember when I was a kid back in the 70's, every time I'd go to Grandma's she would always have one of their albums playing on that big old HiFi record console that was the size of a Volkswagan
Conway even had a zoo there. We went one year at Christmas in the mid 80's and I have a picture of our Son on a Camel. Will never be another one like him. True Country Music
Very sad he died so young… I bet there are songs written down somewhere he hadn’t recorded. Can you imagine if he did and what a tribute that would be to get them recorded by someone with his growly voice… someone pure country
When I got my hand in the 80s I sang this song Conway was still alive then and man I couldn't believe that only make believe got me a standing ovation and I had no idea if the power of that song made people applaud so much .I hate to say it when I got married to my first wife she loved Conway twitty she had several lps of him after she parted with me they seemed to all disappear was a messy devorice I Evan got high and ate the wedding cake 🍰 I froze for a anniversary which never happened I was only married for 6 months and she said 2 words on a note with my rings saying (I am gone ) I seen the grand old opre as they tore down there opryland and made a mall out of it and somewhere in there was Conway twitty name
That would be neat to get a standing ovation. Conway was very popular. That is sad about your divorce. A lot of times, they did get messy. Thanks for watching and commenting 😎😎
He has A Fan page called Conway Twitty Fans on face book that has 59,000 members and it is an awesome site if i say so myself.His son Michael is also an honorary Admin on the page! J&B do you mind if i share your video in our fan room i am sure our Conway Fans would enjoy it. I have been there many times and have been to Twitty City before they pad locked it and got to walk around.I am a HUGE Conway fan and the head Admin on Conway Twitty Fans .Great job on this video y'all.
When I was about 9, we went to Nashville on vacation. We went on a tour and one of the stops was Twitty City! I remember bits and pieces of the tour, I remember it was very crowded and one of his cars was on display and all of his gold records!
I live in Gallatin and mine and my wife's plots are in front of the mosoulem to right at the turn around. I've visited his grave a few times when visiting my wife's parents who are in the same plots. Its a beautiful and well kept cemetery!!
It was a beautiful peaceful place. We have gone back a few times since this video and it is always well kept and nice. Thanks for the info and commenting.😎😎
I didn't like him at first as a kid growing up. I went and watched him perform on stage and it was amazing to see his talent. I then became a big Conway Twitty fan
I can tell you a little bit more about the mansion. The living Spaces are on the first floor and the bedrooms are upstairs. There’s kind of like a little Den where there’s a very large coffee table purchased from John Wayne and the legs are quite large and shaped like a horses head with the main and partial chest. The horses are golden. The kitchen is not tiny, I would say it’s moderate size with lots of cabinets and countertops and a window that looks out into the front yard, the dining room is actually the first room on the right after a person enters the front door and to the left is a room that appeared to me to be a comfortable office. Both the office and dining room have windows that look out across the front yard. The actual living room area is straight back toward the back of the house and that front entrance hallway goes directly to the back living room area. From that living area a person gets to the other areas of the house including the stairs on the left and kitchen and Den to the right. That living room area has windows looking out over the backyard and a field further out from that. I think the field has been turned into the parking lot a few years ago. In the front yard there’s a stream running through the yard and it has a bridge going across it in the shape of an arch rather than flat. I sang gospel songs there with a few other people on that bridge one Sunday afternoon while one of the pastors from the Trinity Broadcasting church (located in the theater across the street) baptized people in the water. It was quite deep. It has multicolored lights that come on during the night which shine into the waterfall flowing off of the rocks into the water below. There’s also multiple concrete walking areas surrounding the waterfall and enter twined with flowerbeds. Multiple small trees scattered throughout the yard which may be considered moderate size trees to some people. Also in the gift shop there’s a door at the back of its shopping area that opens and allows people into the yard/front yard of the mansion. It’s like opening a door and walking directly into a beautiful lit up winter wonderland at Christmas, lights everywhere. As far as the other buildings on the property, there’s a large recording studio, a huge theater for concerts, broadway type plays and large attendance church services and worship events. On the side of the street where the gift store is there’s also a small theater for viewing videos but it’s set up so that when a person sits in a chair if there’s an earthquake scene the chair makes him or her feel as if he or she is actually experiencing the earthquake. It also has a particular type of surround-sound that makes you feel as if you’re walking through the woods and hearing the small branches cracking and breaking under your feet or the sound of dried leaves crunching under your feet etc. there’s also a huge building that has various displays with some animation in each one or beautiful colored scenes and it’s dark in the building and those scenes kind of have a Fluorescent light appearance in some instances. One scene is a Santa Claus kneeling at the foot of a manger with a baby in it and it reminds us that the Bible says every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord…even Santa Claus knows who Jesus is😊❤. Use to be some sidewalk chairs and a small table or two and there was a small bistro where a person could walk up to the window and get something to eat or drink, not a huge selection of food and drink but a few unique things. There’s another building that house is a very long road it’s a replica of the via Delarosa in Israel and it’s made of rocks and there are tiny replications of sidewalk businesses set up throughout it until you get to an area where there’s a huge scene of the Hill of Golgotha with the crucifixion and there’s thunder and lightning surrounding it…Remember it was once named Twitty City…And it truly is a little city. I hope this description isn’t confusing and perhaps you can get a mind picture similar to what it actually was.
We appreciate the information. We got to go into the house about nine years ago. We were hoping they would still let you go inside , but this time, they wouldn't let us.😎😎
I never knew he was named after Harold Loyd I was brought up listening to County music and Conway Twitty thanx to my dad I used to watch Harold Loyd on TV when I was a kid I loved it OVIOUSLY was the re runs as I'm 51 years old loved uour video from here in the UK ❤❤❤🎵🎵🎵😘
OMG Conway was such a huge hit for my family, my sister had a record "yes a record made of vinal acetate!" that was his greatest hits, wore that thing out to9o lol. my favorite songs that i try to do karaoke with are, image of me, after the fire is gone, somebody's needin' somebody, that moon song don't know a thing about love, and next in line. I'd love to make a album of those songs too but copyright would probably come after me if I did. I know every song or just about there of anyway too. someone needs to get a list of those songs that have gone out of copyright. i really do want to know what Onces have gone pd if any.
Such a sad end to his life and the way twitty city is no more. I do remember going there as a little kid, but i was so young I don't remember the specifics. IMO the most underrated song his "the clown"
He never sounded like Elvis to me. He was my favorite. It’s only Make Believe is still my favorite song of all times. I graduated from high school in 1963 so he must have recorded that song at that time
Check out Lonely Blue Boy from 1960. It was supposed to be in the Elvis movie King Creole but was cut from film so Conway recorded it in 1960. If you haven't heard that song you will like it. Conway had some great rock songs. Thanks Kathryn for comment Happy Thanksgiving 😎😎
Was in tennese the week he died. Was on a trip to see graceland and onto Nashville .so the coach took us to the church for conways church service and all stars we're pulling up out back in limos. George Jones. Tammy wynette.vince gill.to name a few.got to sit in the church for it.have the booklet they gave out at the service as a soveneir. George Jones and few others sang
I SAW CONWAY AT TWITT7 CITY 2 TIMES & SEVERAL OTHER TIMES AT CONCERT,,,,I LOVED CONWAY,HIS SINGING ,MANNERS & HE WAS A MAN OF FEW WORDS....I ALWAYS SAID HE WAS SINGING TO ME A LADY'S GOT WISH HAHAHAH GONE MUCH TOO SOON.....I'M LOOKINGFORWARD TO SEEING HIM IN HEAVEN SOMEDAY ALONG WITH MY SON SHANE & OTHERS...OODLES OF LOVE PRECIOUS MEMORIES FAYE ARROWOOD HAVE A BLESS DAY
Thank you for this. I was a Conway fan at a young age. I saw him at Six Flags amd was so close to getting an autograph. I was only 5 feet from him. I regret no speaking up. What a shame that his family couldn't see the importance of keeping twitty city. His fans would have done his memory better than his wife and family did.
You are welcome. We are glad you enjoyed the video. That is too bad you didn't ask for an autograph. I am sure he would have been happy to sign something for you. He seemed like a friendly person. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
When I was in Branson mo I sang that Conway sing hello darlin I never knew the unpacked it made in the women after I sang this song a woman comes up to me in tears and explained why she was crying as I triggered several memories of the legend Conway twitty
He was a great singer. I use to run with local fire co. Every yr we had country singers come in and play the carnival. I was on the bus with the Lewis family getting a photo with them. Im sitting on the couch next to them nervous as can be. L roy says to me befor the pic was taken "this was conways bus and right were your sitting is were he was before he went to the hospital. Talk about even more nervous lol
thats another thing that annoys me so much, his burial place, dee always said he didn't want a big memorial i say BS it was up to her to jc give him a proper grave and the most amazing headstone
Sad, I wish we in Bruce, Ms where some of his kin could have done something about it. So sad, my grandmother passed away in 2003 always said he should have gotten a better place to be buried.
T B N had it opened but closed about 4 year's ago enjoyed guys and T & Me T V is Tommy of the Grand Ole Opry he has played for last 40 years great Steel Player
I think, please correct me if I am wrong but I read in another You Tube post, said that TBN sold the majority of Trinity City / Twitty City now and I have no idea who owns the property now.
I knew his name was Harold Jenkins but I did not know he was named after Actor Harold Lloyd. He is one of the greatest actors of all time and Conway is one of the greatest singers of all time. Look up Harold Lloyd everyone you will recognize him.
Just because his children couldn't stand his present wife they destroyed his beautiful gift his home that he worked/sang his heart out to earn. I was lucky to see him perform 4 months before he passed as well as visited his home during Christmas it was decorated so beautifully. God Bless you Conway so sorry r children were so selfish
Conway's place of burial had at three different times name plates on the side of the mausoleum that said Conway Twitty showed the Tweety Bird and said the best friend a song ever had. They were all stolen. After three times the family just decided to put up Harold Jenkins. Somebody or somebody's has those name plates which I think is a sin and a shame that they couldn't let the man lay to rest and leave his grave alone. I toured with him as one of the bus drivers for the living Legends tour. It was George Jones Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn and I lived half a mile down the street from Twitty City in the Windsor Park apartments
Next year will be his 30th death anniversary. I plan on making the trip to his grave on the 5th of June . Respect for him a d his family .Still CAN'T touch his talent. RIP in peace .

Bonnie Brown Conway never talked much. He always said the fans paid to hear him sing not talk.
My late sister Lib and my late aunt Sarah loved Conway more than anything. Everytime they heard his music they just loved it
It was a very good singer. My Mom loved him too. Thanks for watching 😎😎
I live in Gallatin and its crazy i had no idea he was buried here. Good video too and very respectful
Thank you. It's so sad he passed away too soon.😎😎
Y’all grew up with my parents and there friends getting together on weekends listening too Conway all of us kids dancing and having fun great Memories Thanks y’all
Sounds like great Memories. Appreciate it Rusty
I'm a Fan of Conway Twitty from Way Back in the 1960 Music back then n still enjoy RIP Thanks for Memories

The day we lost Conway Twitty is the day the country music world lost a legend
I agree with you 100 percent.😎😎
Thanks for this from Norway

I love all of his songs you never been that far before
He had a lot of good songs. 😎😎
Very nice video. He was a great man. Thank you.
Sad he passed away way to soon.😎😎
Very sad he died so young… I bet there are songs written down somewhere he hadn’t recorded. Can you imagine if he did and what a tribute that would be to get them recorded by someone with his growly voice… someone pure country

He has A Fan page called Conway Twitty Fans on face book that has 59,000 members and it is an awesome site if i say so myself.His son Michael is also an honorary Admin on the page! J&B do you mind if i share your video in our fan room i am sure our Conway Fans would enjoy it. I have been there many times and have been to Twitty City before they pad locked it and got to walk around.I am a HUGE Conway fan and the head Admin on Conway Twitty Fans .Great job on this video y'all.
Please do it. We would be honored. We are so glad you liked the video. Thank you. 😎😎 We feel Conway doesn't get the respect he deserves.
When I was about 9, we went to Nashville on vacation. We went on a tour and one of the stops was Twitty City! I remember bits and pieces of the tour, I remember it was very crowded and one of his cars was on display and all of his gold records!
Thanks for watching and sharing your story. 😎😎
Also seen Conway in Kitchener Ontario Canada back in 1990s. Loved him.❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Saw him once he was so good. 😎😎
I live in Gallatin and mine and my wife's plots are in front of the mosoulem to right at the turn around. I've visited his grave a few times when visiting my wife's parents who are in the same plots.
Its a beautiful and well kept cemetery!!
It was a beautiful peaceful place. We have gone back a few times since this video and it is always well kept and nice. Thanks for the info and commenting.😎😎
I love every song Conway sing my daddy listen and sing along every song my daddy in heaven listen Conway now..sleeping in heavenly peace
Conway was a good singer. Thanks for watching 😎😎
Oh I love the song Hello Darlin
That was a good one.😎😎
Li miss conway and Loretta great singers
They were great singers. 😎😎
I didn't like him at first as a kid growing up. I went and watched him perform on stage and it was amazing to see his talent. I then became a big Conway Twitty fan
He was one of the best. Never brought up today at all. That's sad.😎😎
Thank you l love him
You are welcome. 😎😎
I can tell you a little bit more about the mansion. The living Spaces are on the first floor and the bedrooms are upstairs. There’s kind of like a little Den where there’s a very large coffee table purchased from John Wayne and the legs are quite large and shaped like a horses head with the main and partial chest. The horses are golden. The kitchen is not tiny, I would say it’s moderate size with lots of cabinets and countertops and a window that looks out into the front yard, the dining room is actually the first room on the right after a person enters the front door and to the left is a room that appeared to me to be a comfortable office. Both the office and dining room have windows that look out across the front yard. The actual living room area is straight back toward the back of the house and that front entrance hallway goes directly to the back living room area. From that living area a person gets to the other areas of the house including the stairs on the left and kitchen and Den to the right. That living room area has windows looking out over the backyard and a field further out from that. I think the field has been turned into the parking lot a few years ago. In the front yard there’s a stream running through the yard and it has a bridge going across it in the shape of an arch rather than flat. I sang gospel songs there with a few other people on that bridge one Sunday afternoon while one of the pastors from the Trinity Broadcasting church (located in the theater across the street) baptized people in the water. It was quite deep. It has multicolored lights that come on during the night which shine into the waterfall flowing off of the rocks into the water below. There’s also multiple concrete walking areas surrounding the waterfall and enter twined with flowerbeds. Multiple small trees scattered throughout the yard which may be considered moderate size trees to some people. Also in the gift shop there’s a door at the back of its shopping area that opens and allows people into the yard/front yard of the mansion. It’s like opening a door and walking directly into a beautiful lit up winter wonderland at Christmas, lights everywhere. As far as the other buildings on the property, there’s a large recording studio, a huge theater for concerts, broadway type plays and large attendance church services and worship events. On the side of the street where the gift store is there’s also a small theater for viewing videos but it’s set up so that when a person sits in a chair if there’s an earthquake scene the chair makes him or her feel as if he or she is actually experiencing the earthquake. It also has a particular type of surround-sound that makes you feel as if you’re walking through the woods and hearing the small branches cracking and breaking under your feet or the sound of dried leaves crunching under your feet etc. there’s also a huge building that has various displays with some animation in each one or beautiful colored scenes and it’s dark in the building and those scenes kind of have a Fluorescent light appearance in some instances. One scene is a Santa Claus kneeling at the foot of a manger with a baby in it and it reminds us that the Bible says every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord…even Santa Claus knows who Jesus is😊❤. Use to be some sidewalk chairs and a small table or two and there was a small bistro where a person could walk up to the window and get something to eat or drink, not a huge selection of food and drink but a few unique things. There’s another building that house is a very long road it’s a replica of the via Delarosa in Israel and it’s made of rocks and there are tiny replications of sidewalk businesses set up throughout it until you get to an area where there’s a huge scene of the Hill of Golgotha with the crucifixion and there’s thunder and lightning surrounding it…Remember it was once named Twitty City…And it truly is a little city. I hope this description isn’t confusing and perhaps you can get a mind picture similar to what it actually was.
We appreciate the information. We got to go into the house about nine years ago. We were hoping they would still let you go inside , but this time, they wouldn't let us.😎😎
Thank you 😢 , HELLO DARLIN , ITS NICE TO SEE YA ❤
Thank you for watching. 😎😎
I never knew he was named after Harold Loyd I was brought up listening to County music and Conway Twitty thanx to my dad I used to watch Harold Loyd on TV when I was a kid I loved it OVIOUSLY was the re runs as I'm 51 years old loved uour video from here in the UK ❤❤❤🎵🎵🎵😘
We are glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching 😎😎
Your videos are so good!!
Thank you so much. We don't get many videos on these kind but we love doing them for the people that enjoy them.
@@jbinthehills your Elvis and Memphis videos are my favorite! Keep safe and God bless
Thank you. We would love to do more Elvis videos but we live to far away from Memphis to film much here.
Raised up on Conway and Loretta....Both Legends..❤❤❤
They are legends. 😎😎
OMG Conway was such a huge hit for my family, my sister had a record "yes a record made of vinal acetate!" that was his greatest hits, wore that thing out to9o lol. my favorite songs that i try to do karaoke with are, image of me, after the fire is gone, somebody's needin' somebody, that moon song don't know a thing about love, and next in line. I'd love to make a album of those songs too but copyright would probably come after me if I did. I know every song or just about there of anyway too. someone needs to get a list of those songs that have gone out of copyright. i really do want to know what Onces have gone pd if any.
Sounds like you are a big fan. I don't know how to fine out about the copyright . Thanks for watching 😎 😎
Yes, hell yes I am.
Such a sad end to his life and the way twitty city is no more. I do remember going there as a little kid, but i was so young I don't remember the specifics. IMO the most underrated song his "the clown"
Very good song.. Really wish also his home was open. He deserved more. 😎😎
I have a pic of me with him there when I was maybe 6 or 7 at Christmas, his lights were always amazing
That's so cool. Great memories thanks for sharing.😎😎
He never sounded like Elvis to me. He was my favorite. It’s only Make Believe is still my favorite song of all times. I graduated from high school in 1963 so he must have recorded that song at that time
Check out Lonely Blue Boy from 1960. It was supposed to be in the Elvis movie King Creole but was cut from film so Conway recorded it in 1960. If you haven't heard that song you will like it. Conway had some great rock songs. Thanks Kathryn for comment Happy Thanksgiving 😎😎
loved seeing this from new zealand
We appreciate you watching. 😎😎
It was sad❤ rest in peace Conway I Will Always Love You and I love your music he was the best country singer that was
He passed away too soon. 😎😎

It should have. Sad
Was in tennese the week he died. Was on a trip to see graceland and onto Nashville .so the coach took us to the church for conways church service and all stars we're pulling up out back in limos. George Jones. Tammy wynette.vince gill.to name a few.got to sit in the church for it.have the booklet they gave out at the service as a soveneir. George Jones and few others sang

Conway twitty is one of my mom s favorite Singers
He was a Icon.😎😎
I know it was a great concert when we saw Conway twitty
I love conway and Loretta
We liked the both of them too.😎😎
Thank you for this. I was a Conway fan at a young age. I saw him at Six Flags amd was so close to getting an autograph. I was only 5 feet from him. I regret no speaking up. What a shame that his family couldn't see the importance of keeping twitty city. His fans would have done his memory better than his wife and family did.
You are welcome. We are glad you enjoyed the video. That is too bad you didn't ask for an autograph. I am sure he would have been happy to sign something for you. He seemed like a friendly person. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
When I was in Branson mo I sang that Conway sing hello darlin I never knew the unpacked it made in the women after I sang this song a woman comes up to me in tears and explained why she was crying as I triggered several memories of the legend Conway twitty
He was very popular. Thanks for sharing the story with us. 😎😎
I love is music he was a good singer he will be miss
Very good and not respected enough.😎😎
He was the best , never got to see in person,
He was a good singer. 😎😎
I visited once while Conway was still alive. Gorgeous!!!
😎😎
Love ❤ Conway Twitty
He was one of the great ones 😎😎
He was a great singer. I use to run with local fire co. Every yr we had country singers come in and play the carnival. I was on the bus with the Lewis family getting a photo with them. Im sitting on the couch next to them nervous as can be. L roy says to me befor the pic was taken "this was conways bus and right were your sitting is were he was before he went to the hospital. Talk about even more nervous lol
Wow. Thats a crazy story. Thanks for sharing that story with us.😎😎
thats another thing that annoys me so much, his burial place, dee always said he didn't want a big memorial i say BS it was up to her to jc give him a proper grave and the most amazing headstone
Hate Conway doesn't have a better memorial. One of the greatest of all times should be remembered better. 😎😎
Sad, I wish we in Bruce, Ms where some of his kin could have done something about it. So sad, my grandmother passed away in 2003 always said he should have gotten a better place to be buried.
I never got to see him in person I would have loved to especially Loretta Lynn cuz Loretta Lynn and him together were awesome
They were excellent 😎😎
T B N had it opened but closed about 4 year's ago enjoyed guys and T & Me T V is Tommy of the Grand Ole Opry he has played for last 40 years great Steel Player
We went in it 6 years ago. They gave us a tour and it was amazing. Probably never open again. Appreciate the info and you watching 😎
@@jbinthehills anytime I hate it closed up thanks for sharing
I think, please correct me if I am wrong but I read in another You Tube post, said that TBN sold the majority of Trinity City / Twitty City now and I have no idea who owns the property now.
I do not know the answer to that.😎😎
I love that one too
Thanks for watching 😎 😎
Most people don't know Glen Campbell wrote "It's Only Make Believe".......
We didn't know that. Thanks for telling us. 😎😎
Best friend a song ever had.❤
He was a good singer. 😎😎
He was.😎😎
Conway will always be my favorite!!
He was a good singer.😎😎
So sad, you really can't go back, well I can't.Noreen Australia 🦘❤
Thanks for watching. 😎😎
He was one of the best he is missed very much
He passed away to soon. 😎😎
I knew his name was Harold Jenkins but I did not know he was named after Actor Harold Lloyd. He is one of the greatest actors of all time and Conway is one of the greatest singers of all time. Look up Harold Lloyd everyone you will recognize him.
I do recognize his face from years ago. Appreciate you watching and commenting.Conway was one of the best.😎😎
Sad an lonely place to me. He deserved a better memorial
He did. Still should be open as a museum.😎😎
It's shameful to see estate go to waste
Yes it is very sad.😎😎
Love Conway miss him🌹🎶🎸♥️🖤🤎💔
He passed away too young. 😎😎
Just because his children couldn't stand his present wife they destroyed his beautiful gift his home that he worked/sang his heart out to earn. I was lucky to see him perform 4 months before he passed as well as visited his home during Christmas it was decorated so beautifully. God Bless you Conway so sorry r children were so selfish
Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
loved his songs❤🎉😂😢
He was a great singer. 😎😎
Barbara g barrett dayton ohio god bless Conway twitty family I have Conway's songs 50s thru up until his death
Thanks for watching 😎😎
I saw one picture that had a twitty birdhouse attached to his tombstone
Never seen that. He was a legend. 😎😎
Conway's place of burial had at three different times name plates on the side of the mausoleum that said Conway Twitty showed the Tweety Bird and said the best friend a song ever had. They were all stolen. After three times the family just decided to put up Harold Jenkins. Somebody or somebody's has those name plates which I think is a sin and a shame that they couldn't let the man lay to rest and leave his grave alone. I toured with him as one of the bus drivers for the living Legends tour. It was George Jones Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn and I lived half a mile down the street from Twitty City in the Windsor Park apartments
That is terrible that someone would do that. That is cool you got to drive bus for so many amazing people. Thanks for watching and commenting 😎😎
Next year will be his 30th death anniversary. I plan on making the trip to his grave on the 5th of June .
Respect for him a d his family .Still CAN'T touch his talent. RIP in peace .
That is so nice. That would be a great tribute to him.😎😎
