• 11 Year Old Killer Sho...
Singing legend Conway Twitty was born on September 1, 1933. However, the Mississippi native was born with the name Harold Jenkins.
When he was 24 years old, Jenkins decided he needed a stage name. There are several stories of how he decided on the name Conway Twitty. The first story claims that he was simply looking a map and his eyes landed on the small towns of Conway, Arkansas and Twitty, Texas. Another story is that a restaurant manager, that Jenkins frequented, begged Jenkins to use his name, Conway Twitty, insisting that the name was catchy and memorable.
Twitty’s musical career began as a rock ‘n’ roll singer. In 1958, Conway Twitty released his first hit, “It’s Only Make Believe.” In the song, Conway Twitty’s voice led many audiences to believe that it was actually Elvis Presley singing. Twitty had many other rock ‘n’ roll hits such as “Danny Boy” and “Lonely Blue Boy.”
“Hello Darlin’,” Twitty’s first, and biggest country song was released in 1970. His songs are known for the deep male voice which Twitty possessed. Throughout his career, he released over 50 songs that reached the top spot on the Country Music charts. Twitty won 2 Grammy Awards in his storied career. . His 55 No. 1 singles are an amazing feat in the annals of the recording industry. Twitty sold more than 50 million records, delivered thousands of live performances, and achieved over 100 major awards. “Next In Line” became his first country No. 1. Twitty performed three decades of country music including: “Hello Darlin’,” “Goodbye Time,” “You’ve Never Been This Far Before,” “Linda On My Mind,” “I’d Love To Lay You Down,” “Tight Fittin’ Jeans,” “That’s My Job.” Conway performed a duet with the top female vocalist of that time, Loretta Lynn and the duo became the most awarded male/female duet in history recording with songs like “After The Fire Is Gone,” “Lead Me On,” and “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man.
Conway was married at the age of 20. However, the marriage only lasted a year. His first wife gave birth to his son, Michael. In 1956, he married Mickey Medley. Medley gave birth to 3 more children. The couple stayed together until 1984. 3 years later, Twitty married again. This marriage lasted until his death.
On June 4, 1993, Twitty became ill while performing at the Jim Stafford Theatre in Branson, Missouri. He collapsed on his tour bus after the show and was rushed to a hospital. He was rushed into surgery, but died of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, in the early hours of the following morning at Cox South Hospital in Springfield, Missouri at the age of 59. Loretta Lynn, who frequently was his chart-making duet partner, was at the hospital because her husband, Mooney, a.k.a. Doo, was recovering from heart surgery, and saw Twitty briefly as he entered the hospital. His last studio album, Final Touches, was released two months later. Four months after Twitty's death, George Jones included a cover version of "Hello Darlin'" on his album High-Tech Redneck.
Twitty was buried at Sumner Memorial Gardens in Gallatin, Tennessee in a red granite vault under his birth name Harold L. Jenkins. There are spaces reserved next to him for his wife and his son Michael.
I love Country music, and that you for paying respects to this man, well deserved. R.I.P Conway.🇨🇦🙏💐🙏💐
I was just watching your video of The Great CONWAY TWITTY and where he is buried. I already knew this and have always wanted to comment. I was so upset, saddened, and just couldn't believe he was no longer with us. Now the time has passed but I still can't take away those same feelings. I can still hear his music, his Wonderful Voice, I get those goose bumps, it's like he is right beside me. I am so sorry there wasn't MORE DONE FOR THIS GIANT AND LEGEND OF COUNTRY MUSIC. HE WAS SO DESERVING OF MUCH MUCH MORE!!! EVEN FOR HIM MORE COULD NEVER BE ENOUGH. FOR MYSELF HIS MUSIC, HIS ONE OF A KIND VOICE WILL NEVER EVER BE GONE...I LOVE YOU CONWAY. R.I.P, YOU ARE SO MISSED,but YOUR MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE. REST MY LOVE ON YOU AWHILE...❤🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
The way you handled the Yummy video was amazing. You always do a tremendous job taking us along and making us feel like we are there with you but there was the potential for controversy in that video and I think you were the perfect guide to really break down all the tragedy in such a respectful way.
i loved Conway, his song Thats my job is very special to me,
I saw him concert two days before he died in Branson Missouri. I stood in line forever for a autograph for my mom. He was so sweet .his wife was hateful she daid hurry up we've got to leave. He said no I'm giving this young lady her autograph I said thank you. He told me to bring my mom to meet him soon. Next thing I knew he died. He was a wonderful sweet and nice man. I took my mom to see him years ago at the Shreveport Louisiana arena she was so excited .when he came out she YELLED HELLO DARLIN . 😅😅😅😅 everyone laughed I was down in my seat .😊. She's gone now she passed also . So I guess she can see him fall she wants. My dad is there too.hes probably a little jealous. My mom was so pretty . Green eyes and red hair. ❤. Thanks for listening everyone. I miss my mom so much everday. DIANA
Great singer RIP Conway Twitty .Darlin'
Great Singer!
Hey Scott thank you for your patience are you going to be able to do movie locations perhaps horror movie's ❤❤❤❤
Hi, my Uncle Kenny Hinson was the lead singer to the Family The Original Hinson's and buried in this same graveyard as Conway wish someone would do a video on him he was famous in Southern Gospel Music 🎶 out of Henderson ville Tn I'm thinking he's buried here even with my Uncle Larry Hinson Yvonne and Ronny still living
Love Conway
55 number one's
Love his music. His voice and storytelling is amazing. I remember hearing he passed, it was such a sad day. He was definitely one of the greatest. ♥️
I only heard his music a few years ago and have loved it ever since.
You've picked a true country legend thank you RIP Conway
Conway ✊
Man, this one hits close to home. My oldest sister is a HUGE Conway fan (she had Hello Darlin' as her answering machine message for like 20 years). His music takes me back to childhood. I remember when he died. My sister was a total wreck, of course, and that day just sticks out in my mind.
My parents introduced me to Conway when I was a child. One of the most unique voices in the history of country music. He had a true gift. Thanks for doing this, Scott! Loved it!
Same! Love it!
Rest in Peace Conway,RIP🙏🙏🙏 He was one of the best country crooners ever Scott..I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert with George Jones & Ricky Skaggs shortly before his death at the now demolished "Market Square Arena"in Indianapolis,Ind.Great show .☮️✌️✌️🙏
Seth McFarland the creator of Family Guy likes to feature old Conway Twitty songs on the show.
"The best friend a song ever had!" How he was always introduced in concert. I've been to at least a dozen of his concerts and he was always a no-nonsense artist. Hardly talked at all, but that voice... thank you!!
My family has always loved Conway Twitty. Growing up my mother had framed photos of him around the house. We went to Twitty City when I was very young. Thank you for the memories of this talented man.
Right
If those potholes at the entrance get any deeper, Scott, they'll be selling them off as graves! 😊
Conway was one of the greats of country. I love his music still to this day. Thanks for this video Scott.
Great country singer!
May he continue to rest in eternal peace.
Awesome video as always,
Scott!
Your production, and one fellow college student in June 1997 doing a report on Conway Twitty in Speech Class Freshman Year, is pretty much the only exposure I have had about this man. Interesting and very nice of you to do a vlog about him.
I have heard his music, and it is very, very good.
But that was all the info I had was from your vlog and the student's speech.
Love ur content dear friend stay safe and blessed.
Love his music and Loretta Lynn. Thank you for sharing. R.I.P. Conway and Loretta.
Thank you for remembering this country legend
Scott you hit with the oldies like I am by age, but I'm so young at heart with the young and the content you put out.
Scott you are so Kool. I love how many different graves you visit for us and we learn so much. ❤ Conway was wonderful at what he did.
I remember so well when he passed,my cousin passed 2 days later 😇
You grew up just like me, Scott…my parents loved the 50s-70s music especially old country music like Hank Snow, Hank Williams Sr….and of course, Conway Twitty!
I really liked his style, looks and he was quite young only 60 if I added up right. RIP Conway. He had a good head of hair.
Great video Scott, I lost my dog last night his name is Niner we would watch Scott's videos together, I really miss him my 1st day without him R.I.P
I hope Niner rests peacefully 🥲
Awe R.I.P Niner 😢 he is watching from heaven now 💔💙
Ty so much guys it means alot
My Mom and Dad loved Conway and Loretta. I know all his songs from my childhood. My parents have passed so I miss them and thank them for sharing something that meant so much to them. Its only make believe great song. My parents went to the concerts every time they were close to Dallas, Texas. Thanks Scott ❤
Scott, my parents and grandparents listening was the first time I heard Conway Twitty! What a singer he was amazing. Gosh thank you f hi r doing this great story on him.
thanks for posting. i love some of conways music.
I love country music and Conway Twitty was one of the first country singers that drew me to it. The first time I ever listened to country music and fell in love with it was in 1976 when I was working at a nursing home in Chicago. All the radios in the residents' rooms were always playing country songs (I think the aids were putting it on). Wow, I didn't know he got his name from two cities. Very interesting. Country singers are just down-home kind of people and I think that's why I like them so much. What a beautiful mausoleum he is in. It's nice that he is low enough for his fans to see his grave easily. Glad you found a place for your rock 😊 RIP Conway.
Good Evening Scott 🙋🏽. I love this 💗👍🏽👍🏽
Scott this one means a lot. My dad was a big Twitty fan. He wanted to visit Conway during one of our Tennessee trips in the mid 90s to see my mom's sister. We never made it down since my aunt lived between Knoxville and Nashville.
He was performing in Branson just before he died. Loretta was on her way there to see the progress of her theater she was having built. I remember seeing his bus out in front of the hospital where he died. If I remember correctly, Loretta arrived shortly after he passed.
My Grandmother loved Conway Twitty❤
Good Video
You should do a video on Evel & Robbie Knievel.
It's those new contacts you were talking about! 😂 Why do they have flowers on Conway Twitty's sons future resting place if he hasn't passed? Thanks for taking us along on this trip.
That was very nice. Thank you! ❤❤
Hello fam 👋💜🌴
This means the world to me Conway was my nanny’s favorite singer and I grew to love him myself. He was gone way to soon. Sending lots of love and gratitude for your videos.❤❤❤
Thanks for looking for Conway Twitty grave and sharing it with us. I know it makes it more interesting to find the locations yourself. I was one of those guys yelling at you stop going in circles and don't go inside. I lived in the Nashville area for over 20 years. If I was with you Scott I would of lead you to him. I've seen his grave. I hope you got a chance to visit Johnny Cash's grave down the road in Hendersonville TN. Also on a closing note I hope that a worker would pick up that bag of trash on the ground very disrespectful. Great job my friend 👍
My Bestie surprised me in March with a visit to my all time favorite Conway , also saw George " the Possum " Jones, Johnny Cash and Johnny Paycheck, plan on another trip to see more ❤
@@monsterglo I can tell you a fun fact. When Johnny Paycheck passed away he had no money, so George Jones paid for his gravesite and stone which isn't much of a headstone just a small plaque. That's why that they are buried near each other
Video about the Cash graves already here on my channel 😊
@@Eaglefly-er7do thank you , we did find it interesting his was just a marker , 🤗
Tre twitty sound like grandpa 👴 Conway
My love for Country music also came because that's all my dad listened to in the 60s and 70s. Conway was a huge name back then and he'll forever be missed. Thanks for the awesome video, Scott.
Conway Twitty had an Aortic aneurysm.
Rest in peace to Conway Twitty and Rest in peace to your dad
Mr. Conway Twitty...
My mom loved 😍 Conway Twitty....thanks for sharing this Scott.
Thank you Scott for visiting Conway twitty .. one of my absolute favorites !! Well done as always ❤
My dad (now 88) was a big fan of old school country. So when I was a kid I heard a lot of Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Anne Murray, Charlie Rich, Barbara Mandrell, Merle Haggard, Oak Ridge Boys, Statler Brothers, etc.
While growing into my teen/young adult years, my musical tastes leaned more towards pop music, Soul/R& B, and rock. For many years I never listened to country music; but now that I'm in my 50's, I've been gravitating towards listening to the classic country songs I heard as a child. I don't care for the more modern country that became popular in the 90's though today's music. One of my favorite Conway Twitty duets with Loretta Lynn is "You're the reason our kids are ugly." 😂 They had such a great rapport. 💛
There was a song that he and Loretta Lynn did a duet called "You're the Reason my Kids are Ugly" Have you done a video a Video about her yet? Very good video.
Not yet
Thank you, Scott for not giving up!
Your such a a respectful man!!!
🌼💛🌼
It's pretty cool that Twitty was living in Friar's Point as a toddler when Robert Johnson was known to have played there on street corners. It's a tiny town so who knows if they crossed paths (obviously Twitty would have had no recollection being too young)
I met Conway at Twitty City. Got an autograph for me and for my mom. Thrilled her! Favorite song was "Its Only Make Believe".
RIP
RIP
Favorite song by Conway Twitty was that’s my job. Reminds me of my father.
I named my cat 🐈 Conway Kitty
I like him since I was little. My parents liked him a lot. Thanks for doing a documentary on him
Thank-you for the history of the man but I don't know about him. I am not a country music fan. Désolé.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Conway was # one , loved his tunes , saw him 2 x's , He had that little growl on some of his songs , and he was great with Loretta !
Thats My Job is one of the only songs that can make me cry whem I hear it... Conways a dam legend
I grew up listening to Conway Twitty because I was raised by my grandparents. Lots of great tunes ❤ Great video as always Scott

Slow Hand...killer song..Rest in Peace Mr. Conway.🌹I grew up listening to him.
Only artist to come close to matching Elvis on the 1 billion records sold.
From when I was 10 to 20 that's all the music that they played. I have a good appreciation of country music. Good video
Thank you so much for doing a video on Conway Twitty I remember the day he passed away. I cried so much. I hope you do one on Loretta Lynn my parents was the same way. It was all country music when I was growing up I remember seeing him from my 11th birthday him and Loretta Lynn great video😊

We have a saying in the south Scott when you are trying to find something, if it was a snake it would have bit ya! That jumped in my head when you were trying to find Mr. Twitty. Excellent video ❤

Very respectful visit to a country music legend. It’s amazing how a performer’s music can bring up so many memories, as you mention it did for you of your parents. It was very touching of you to share that with us. Your love for your parents is always present in your videos and what a lasting tribute it is to their memory. Rest in peace to Mr. Twitty and your parents. Appreciate you & take care.

Thanks Scott , I can't believe it's been so many years , it was headline news Globally, was talked about on media here in Australia, I too grew up on Elvis, Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, Conway Twitty, Kenny Rogers Del Shannon.
Ilove his voice music❤❤❤❤
Urwellcome dear❤
So are you telling me that his last wife was born a year after his son was? That's gross! Can't complain about his talent but ugh, no one should ever be allowed to marry people younger than their children or potential children.
Noooo I believe that is his son’s wife lol
❤️
How dare you!!😂😂
Great,i love conway thanks
Really enjoyed listening to his music. That’s when country was country. Thank you Scott.
55 #1 hits total.
One of my top 3 country singers of all time. I'm from Kentucky and I'm all about good 70s and 80s country music. One of my home state Icons Loretta Lynn had many songs with Conway.
Don't forget James Brown grave
His grave is inaccessible to the public unfortunately
@@SCOTTONTAPE oh okay
Hi Scott
He actually died in Springfield, Missouri. He and Loretta Lyn had been playing in Branson.
I said the location in the video 😊
