Conway Twitty - 25 #1's

The great Conway Twitty has been called "a song's best friend" for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, he had a remarkably virile, expressive voice & an innate understanding of delivering a lyric. & then there is his track record - 41 #1 hit singles on the pop and country charts; 97 charting country hits; 20 charting pop hits. If Conway sang it, people listened, & this new package compiles, for the first time on one CD, his all time biggest hits for all of the labels he recorded for: MGM; Decca; MCA; Elektra; & Warner Brothers - 1958 to 1986. The original hit versions of his landmark signature songs are all here: "It's Only Make Believe," "Hello Darlin'," "Linda on My Mind," "Happy Birthday Darlin'" & "I Don't Know a Thing About Love (The Moon Song)." His four biggest duets with Loretta Lynn are present, including "After the Fire Is Gone" & "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man." These 25 #1's are the songs that made Conway Twitty a Hall of Famer, a legend, & a major record seller today, a dozen years after his death. They are all digitally remastered from original masters, & the great singer's career is put in proper perspective by liner notes by noted music scribe Billy Altman, who has written for everyone from the New York Times to the Village Voice to Rolling Stone.
