Conway Twitty It's Only Make Believe (HQ Stereo) (1958)

[@echoecho3108]

I loved this song when I first heard it on my transistor radio. I begged my mom to take me to the record store so I could get the 45. I still have it. Mmmmm. That sexy growl. I always watched Dick Clark on Saturday night, so I saw this first-run, and not again until now. I still have my "IFIC" button. Thanx muchly for sharing this little treasure! RIP, darlin' Conway, and thanx so very much for the magic, music, and memories.

Everything you just said.

People forget he was a Rock and Roll superstar with multiple million dollar singles and was in a few movies , for 10 years before he ever went into Country music

This was his appearance on Dick Clark's Beech Nut show back in January of 59, about 6 months after It's Only Make Believe was released.

This song takes me back to my childhood days in Mississippi. My uncle and I loved Conway Twitty.

[@mechcavandy986]

I’m from Mississippi too. I knew him, his mama and daddy, and I went to high school with his son Michael. 😎🎸 Fine folks! ♥️♥️

Conway died too early ! In 1993

one thing he and Roy Orbison have in common: at times their voices just don't seem like they could be real.

I was about 7 years old when I heard this the first time. It is still a favorite.

[@evelynmoore6211]

I was 7 years old when I first saw this and fell in love. I've got multiple recordings of this through the years on his albums and can tell the difference in each one. Cannot imagine how many times I've listened to it. It will be played at my graveside when I die

[@nelsonvargas9527]

I loved Conway from this first hit. I saw him in person a couple of times - better looking in person than the camera showed. I’ve never seen this clip. Thanks for posting it.

[@MrStevie57]

Man,I loved this song.Sounds like Elvis in parts too.

[@stupendous1068]

People at the time thought it was Elvis Presley recording under a pseudonym.

[@dalethehardluckcowboy7852]

He was a good man!!! Very polite too. Loved his kids like no father I've seen

[@kevinkesting4499]

Probably the greatest lyric starved song of all time. Such a powerful voice combined with incredibly talented backup singers. Thank you Mr. Harold L. Jenkins aka Conway Twitty

[@jondeere5638]

The last rock-and-roll song Conway did before going country, His descending the ramp while ramping his vocal scale was inspired.

[@DelbertCole-m2u]

This is false Conway Twitty Was Rock and Roll For 9 years leaving after the British Invasion The took Rock and Roll Over .It's Only Make Believe Came Out in 1958 and The Lion Of Rock and Roll stayed Until 1965.

[@DelbertCole-m2u]

Believe Conway Twitty Was Rock and Roll 🎸

[@strictly45s6]

That's absolutely false. He was doing rockabilly and rocknroll up until 1964!! Make believe was in 1958.

Hello how are you today

[@bobthomson3495]

This was Conway’s memorable first major hit that reached #1, sold a million records, and spent five months on Billboard’s Hot 100. It was the hot song of summer and fall of '58. I believe it. I absolutely love this song and this single record version in particular. This Beech-nut show appearance of Conway was of him lip syncing to his hit record. These and other performances were the MTV videos of their day. The artists that appeared on Beech-nut usually lip synced to their records. Very few actually performed live. Regardless, this music video strikes a chord with so many, including me. It was a 2 minute power ballad of the time. This is my favorite Conway song with "Hello Darlin" as a close second.

[@jamesbrown6385]

He was awesome! Seen him concert ladies were wild!

[@newagetomboy]

I would like to see a movie about him being pressured not to sing like those Black people like Elvis was banned.
