Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn - Hello Darlin' [Live]

Ladies and gentalmen Mr. Conway Twitty!.......
Twitty always wanted to record country music and-beginning in 1965-he did just that. His first few country albums were met with some country DJs refusing to play them because he was known as a rock-n-roll singer. However, he finally broke free with his first top five country hit, "The Image Of Me", in July 1968, ensued by his first number one country song, "Next In Line", in November 1968. Few of his singles beginning in 1968 ranked below the top 5.
In 1970, Twitty recorded and released his biggest hit ever, "Hello Darlin'" (which spent four weeks at the top of the country chart). In 1971 he released his first hit duet with Loretta Lynn, "After the Fire Is Gone". It was a success, and many more followed, including "Lead Me On" (1971), "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" (1973), "As Soon As I Hang Up the Phone" (1974), "Feelins'" (1975), "I Still Believe In Waltzes", "I Can't Love You Enough" and many others. Together, Conway and Loretta (as they were known in their act), won four consecutive Country Music Association awards for vocal duo (1972-75) and a host of other duo and duet awards from other organizations throughout the 1970s.
In 1973, Twitty released "You've Never Been This Far Before", which was not only No. 1 in country for three weeks that September but also reached No. 22 on the pop charts. Some disc jockeys refused to play the song because of its suggestive lyrics.
In 1978 he issued the single "The Grandest Lady of Them All" honoring the Grand Ole Opry, but for the first time since 1967, a single of his failed to reach top-10 status as some radio stations refused to play a song honoring the property of a competitor (broadcast by WSM-AM). Nevertheless, the single reached the top 20 but it peaked well below expectations, and this set in motion the changes that were to take place in his career, including a new hairstyle, changing from the slick-back pompadour style to the curlier style he would keep the rest of his life.
In 1985, going by all weekly music trade charts, the song "Don't Call Him a Cowboy" became the 50th single of his career to achieve a No. 1 ranking. He would have five more through 1990, giving him a total of 55 number 1 hits. George Strait eclipsed the feat of 50 number 1 hits in 2002 with his single "She'll Leave You With a Smile" and then reached No. 1 for the 56th time in 2007 with the single "Wrapped".
Throughout much of his country music career his home was Decca Records, later re-named MCA. He signed with the label in late 1965 but left in 1981 when it appeared Decca was marketing and promoting newer acts, plus management at the label had changed and other factors brought on the decision. He joined Elektra/Asylum in 1982. That label merged with its parent company, Warner Bros. Records in 1983. He stayed on with Warner Bros. Records through early 1987 but then went back to MCA to finish out his career. In 1993, shortly before he died, he recorded a new album, Final Touches.

R.I.P. Loretta Lynn. I can see both of them singing in heaven now. 😇

[@frankiediane2782]

I was wondering if he was there to welcome her with a song. It's a wonderful idea to ponder. I loved them both.

[@chriscarter409]

I'm sure it would've been this one!!

[@dickhurtz9896]

i don't think there is any doubt that Loretta is in love with Conway. the way she looks at him says it all.

[@swspartanhwk]

You can tell just by the look on Loretta's face that if she wasn't married guarantee should would of been with Conway You can see she loves this so much

[@Randyscountry]

This was from Loretta's first TV special, the Lady and the Legend. Celebrating 20 yrs. It was filmed at the Ryman in 1981. I was there!!! They shot this take about three times before they got it right. Loretta's husband joked around at the end of this song and pretended that he was jealous and acted like he was going to hit Conway over the head with a guitar. This was a great show. Howard Hessman from WKRP in Cincinnati was in this take as a grandpa type. And of course Ernest Tubb. Great memory

[@bitemeThEre]

Thank you for sharing that. How great a memory

[@alfonsosoriano171]

It's a rare show to see in real time. After all, it's about memories...

[@claudiaheinowski1285]

Wow! I wish I would of been there! That would of been great!

[@SJ-ni6iy]

Thanks for sharing. I love country music and I’m from the same town as Little Jimmy Dickens.

[@mac26x98]

This rendition of his song to Loretta is one of the very best on KZbin ever

[@MrJNFan]

If Conway had lived to be 100, he still would of been to young to pass on. His music will live on forever; I just wish he was here to keep singing it to us. Fortunately we have great people on KZbin who post such wonderful renditions/recordings/versions/performances of his great music. God Bless ya, Conway.

[@deborahhafer7483]

This song will go down as a classic from Conway. No other voice will ever replace his in my opinion. Miss ya Conway.

The fact that this man was never made a member of the Grand Ole Opry is a crime.

[@nascarfan88ta]

The story I read was, he was offered membership, but the Opry required he make so many appearances a year, he felt it would eat to much into his touring

[@curtisshaw5965]

At the end, Conway Twitty said " I love yu Loretta" she replied " an I luv you Harold Jenkins".. because that's his real name

[@bitemeThEre]

Oh my dear Lord there is only Johnny and June can top this!!! Amazingly beautiful and brings a tear to my broken heart 💔

[@s.r.r.]

They couldn't come close. These two were the epitome of country duets. I didn't like J&J from the start because of the way she worked to break up his life with his wife and family. He even told his wife she was going to do it and he was going to be here. I never listened to them after if I could help it and certainly never bought their music.

The both of them had a special kind of love for each other, yes Lorette was in love with her husband Mooney, alot of people believe that Loretta and Conway had something together, I really do not believe this at all, because when they did they would have not been able to flirt with each other like they did
