It is refreshing that Conway made millions entertaining people but refused to use his platform to lecture people on who to vote for, what car to drive, what food to eat, etc. He just stuck to what he knew his fans loved and wanted - his music. He stayed in his lane as an entertainer and was one of the absolute top performers of his era. I wish the entertainers of today (not just musicians) would do the same.

[@stuarthornsby7023]

Thank you so much to whoever requested this song and interview and thank you Sebs for posting it. I had never seen this interview with the message of priorities and Jesus. For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Thanks Seb. I needed this encouragement today.

[@lindaslater7782]

"Who do they think he was"...think about that line. They called Elvis the King, but the only King is Jesus; they said Kennedy was Heaven sent, but that would be Jesus; they said he was a simple capenter later nailed to a tree, and that would be Jesus. Not Elvis, not Kennedy, but Jesus! Beautiful song. RIP Conway Twitty.

[@LindaLittle-m7j]

I loved your comments about Conway Twitty's interview with Wayne Newton! And his song about Jesus Christ ❤❤😢😢❤❤

[@LindaLittle-m7j]

I'm loving your reactions to Conway's song ) Who Did They Think He Was?❤😢❤😢❤

[@Tita-fg4um]

I love Conway Twitty and to see younger ppl listening to him is amazing. He was going to be a Pastor before professional baseball ( Phillies signed him ) but went to Army first then singer. Love his art. Glad you enjoy it as well

[@ednafenton7558]

Never heard a bad song by Conway! Beautiful song! He's o9kknown as "the best friend a song ever had " for a reason. I'm sure you're figuring that out. Like all of us, you're loving Conway Twitty. Your next song of Conway should be a duet with Loretta Lynn.

[@dinapopecaten2454]

When Conway started singing about Jesus Sebs sat back with a heart felt smile while his chest swelled with pride and at that moment if as if Conway didn't have his undivided attention he did at that very moment and Sebs took in and felt what Conway did what he made so many of us do... he felt it!!!! As Conway delivered yet another master piece

[@lindaartz3297]

Sebastian, I am so glad you have discovered country music. It tells stories about the people and lives of people you probably didn’t know about. You are so appreciative.

[@jwmson7791]

That beautiful voice. What a loss. R.I.P. Conway. We’ll always miss you. 😢💔🙏🏼

[@BOOMNERD51]

I have been a fan since he hit with "It's Only Make Believe" next to Elvis in the early rock genre. That's still my favorite of his, and yes, he was such a good guy! ❤

[@jealousjelly]

Just so you know: His real name is Harold Jenkins, but his manager told him he needed a memorable stage name. So he looked at a map and decided he liked the sound of Conway (Arkansas) and Twitty (Texas). He was one of my heroes and he died way too soon.

[@terrigamble6238]

I thought I knew all his songs. I had never heard this beautiful song. I also loved the interview. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@trishdaniel6196]

A SONG WAS ABOUT ELVIS, PRESIDENT, JOHN F. KENNEDY, AND OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST!!!! AND CONWAY DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE SONG!!!....ENJOY...THANKS FOR THE REACTION

[@chetfairman9545]

Going from anti country music to loving Conway is a HUGE difference. Would have been easy maybe to say any one of these current artists, but you, Sebs, went OG classic. Good on ya.

[@MrsDuke95]

My father was a die hard Conway fan, he was also a country musician and hearing this song again after all these years brings me to tears because I could still hear my Daddy singing it. My Dad knew ever song and sang them quite often. Thank you to the one that requested this 😢❤

[@thomaswhayden6109]

Your dad was a very smart man, too am a die hard Conway Twitty fan. I very much enjoy listening to his music.

[@patticampana9458]

They all were persecuted in one way or another and all were young. They are just human beings. However, Jesus was our Savior✌️

[@tammydodge388]

Do you know the host of the show? That is the famous Wayne Newton. I still remember the first time I saw him as a kid on Bonanza! (We were both kids at the time) He has basically been the, pardon my use of the word, king of Las Vegas for decades. He's best known for the song "Danke Shain". Great reaction, we sure do miss Conway! Have you listened to any of his duets with Miss Lorretta Lynn?

[@dwhunter8904]

🔥🔥🔥 This is one of those” you need to watch the official video” of this one. It will make a lot more sense and hit harder.

[@ericbarksdale4335]

I’ve loved his music since I was a little kid. Glen Templeton does an amazing job covering his music. Conway was a stand up man.

[@Gutslinger]

I think it's a song highlighting people wrongfully idolizing fallible humans as if they're immortal gods, and pointing to Jesus as the one who should've/should be idolized and worshiped. He's the true immortal God. He is truly heaven sent.. And he is King of Kings.

[@shannonc2440]

Just maybe we put too much stock in man? Let's get rid of the artificial thrones...

[@lizmorris78]

To Jesus he is referring to .. who did they think he was .. meaning why was such a innocent loving giving man being crucified like a criminal.

[@lnbarnes917]

I love all music but Conway is my favorite country music singer!❤

[@sandyshoenberger2697]

OH MY GOSH!! I have wanting someone to react to this, IT IS SO GOOD. THANK YOU!! I always cry when I hear this.

[@demonator2k527]

I love how he has a way of singing with that velvet voice. And he always is so humble.

[@RitaBowen1]

Wow I thought I heard every song that Conway Twitty had ever saying but this is a new one on me. What a great song

[@sidneycrossley7802]

That's Wayne Newton whose show Conway Twitty is on. Big deal in Vegas

[@robinasher816]

Because they all thought the first 2 men were kings but yet the last one no one thought that and he was a king.

[@TexasMagnolia]

“Goodbye Time” is a must hear!

[@KittCrescendo]

Ok, this one got me choked up. I suspected he was headed this way, and it was beautiful.

[@kimking6036]

They were both friends with Elvis. Wayne Newton was also a singer who played in Vegas. One of the sweet duets and closest friends were Conway and Loretta Lynn. Conway sings with his daughter.

[@friedaprince]

I was able to see Conway several times in concert. He just got out there and belted song after song. He didn't need any gimmicks, just his wonderful voice

[@ranger-1214]

My wife and I saw Conway several times, and true he doesn't talk or banter with the audience. But we really came to watch and listen to those songs so that was just fine. Another great we saw was Ray Price, and he was the same in just singing great songs one after another with hardly any time in between. Sure miss both of them!

[@warrenburlingame1172]

Complete different than most of his other songs. Such a great tribute. Conway was very humble. 4ip Conway gone too soon

[@lindabrewer3243]

He always was my mother's favorite and still was as she laid on her death bed with his music playing in the back ground. She got to meet Conway 8 days before he died. My older sister took my Mom to Branson and while there, they saw Conway's show. Afterwards, Mom had to go to the bathroom so my sister stood in the hall and waited for her. Next thing she knew, Conway was walking down the hall in her direction. Barb stopped him and told him how much our mother loved him and asked if he would wait a couple minutes so they could meet. Imagine my Mother's surprise when she walked out that bathroom door and there stood Conway with arms wide open. He embraced her and they continued to have an amazing conversation and Barb was taking pictures. He was a very humble man and loved his fans dearly. Mom made each one of us kids an 8 by 10 picture of them embracing and I will cherish it until the day I die.

[@vickybrackin7483]

One of my absolute favorite songs by Conway!!😢 Rest easy Conway!!❤

[@joannameyers8184]

So sad he passed to soon. If I remember correctly, it was an aneurysm in his stomach.

[@amandadenney6482]

I remember hearing on the radio when Conway died. My mom and I are big fans of his.

[@sheryldalton8965]

Back in the 80's i worked at George Jones' music park that was in my Texas town. Conway was performing so when i had a few minutes to get away i went backstage & stood at the edge of the curtain to get a close look at him. He looked my way & winked at me lol. I was flattered since all the women in the audience were screaming their heads off at the sight of him. I expected to see bras & panties flying up on the stage lol. The absolute best & most exciting job i ever had.

[@frankwhitmire5779]

Sebs you should check out Daddy don't You Walk So Fast by Wayne Newton......he's the man talking to Conway

[@BrokenLady67]

I’m 56 and I have never heard this. I have a 2005 minivan bought new. With a conways greatest hits stuck in the cd player since 2008😂. I grew up listening to Conway

[@lizmorris78]

I have been a devoted Conway fan but this is my first time hearing this song. What a magnificent tribute.

[@sandyshoenberger2697]

I think this was the last song/ album he released. He died shortly after. If my memory serves me correctly

[@lizmorris78]

​@@sandyshoenberger2697 .. thank you sandy

[@dmaynardabu]

I love him so much. I saw him twice in concert. Both shows were amazing! I really appreciated the fact that he did not chit chat! When I saw George Jones all he wanted to do was talk. I paid to hear him sing, not tell stories.

[@dow311]

The interviewer, Wayne Newton, is himself a singer, performed in Las Vegas for years. He is known as Mr. Las Vegas.

[@jasonhays4511]

What he's referring to is the gact that people acted like Elvis and JFK were God's, yet they actually killed God.

[@Gutslinger]

There's a video of his son performing his songs, and his grandson performing his songs. It's weird and cool to see and hear their similarities to Conway.

[@rogerlay8183]

As I sit here at midnight, on the turn of what would have been my sister's birthday, I run across this interview of her favorite singer. I dont know if she had ever hear this song or interview, but she would have loved it.

[@user-lyanngirl]

I love Conway I live next to him in Henderson Tennessee he was was a very sweet man !!!Johnny Cash live there also him and his wife June was so sweet people God bless them 🙏🙏🙏 and God bless bless our and your family

[@Tita-fg4um]

He sang it because we always put our idols in a high regards and we cry and get upset for just ppl and we should look to our Lord and we cheer more at a football game then we do to God

[@loismarshall2927]

Conway's son Michael Twitty, does sing, and he not only looks like his dad, he sounds like him too! Always loved Conway. What a loss to the music world.

[@wadecollins671]

My sister met him once in lake of the Ozark’s at a grocery store she said they talked like 30 minutes and told me he was so down to earth

[@oldmcdonald3376]

you gotta do conway's goodbye time at the cma's will blow you away!!!!

[@hockemeyer1]

The person interviewing is Wayne Newton who was a Las Vegas icon. He has been a star singer since age 13 I believe. I do remember his first time on television at that age.

[@davidsanders5788]

Wayne Newton. That is someone I haven’t thought about in years.

[@hinsfan1]

Love the song Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast

[@sally7210]

Thank goodness Conway did not pursue a baseball career and decided to bless us with his music!

[@heatherhitchens3212]

It’s the question that Jesus Himself asked. Who do you say I am?

[@JCourts2k23]

Doesn't get much better than Conway Twitty

[@barbaramusgrave5616]

Who did they think he was? When we are in the middle of living, we do stupid things that we regret later. But we don't think about the reality of the situation when we are living it.

[@katkat-fm3wj]

He's question addresses that compared to Jesus no one compares.

[@jenniferdooley1038]

Love me some Conway!!!

[@BrokenLady67]

A legend interviewing a legend. Mr Wayne Newton

[@ivansavoie3190]

Got to see Conway four times once with Loretta Lynn, each time he greeted fans , shook his hand and got his autograph each time, great man and entertainer.

[@missydehart6920]

Ooooh doing some classic country! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lindalafrance2241]

I never heard this song ,thank you I loved it

[@emberrain7050]

Fun fact He took his name from Conway Arkansas and Twitty Texas. I believe his grandparents lived in those two towns. My grandmother died in 1991 so, I haven't heard the story since then, but while she was alive, every time he came to Conway, my grandmother would tell me that story.

[@tinab2674]

Thanks for posting this. Greatness!

[@hinsfan1]

Heard this song several times..like we all say: a songs best friend

[@claywilkinson1631]

The greatest male voice ever to grace the world. 🙂

[@celinelovell4725]

Conway is still one of my all time favorites

[@nancyborden5860]

What a great song 🎵 👌

[@katkat-fm3wj]

Thank you Sebs. You are spot on.

Do you know who you think he was, amen.

Conway was definitely one of the best

[@lindaartz3297]

I love that his song is so subtle.

[@mustangbill65]

Wayne Newton is also a great !!!

[@Cowgirl4God]

Thanks! You MUST LISTEN to Conway’s song “ THAT’S MY JOB”, you’ll never be the same!

[@SebsDuran]

Okay!

[@SebsDuran]

We did in fact check this out. It was the perfect song.

[@sheilasisk7550]

I think he was referring to people putting man before CHRIST

[@jasonhenninger8220]

Two songs/videos you need to experience, AC/DC - it's a long way to the top (rock bag pipes)got a good hook/lyrics. 2nd Ram Jam - Black Betty. Awesome song. But the video is great. Modern videos can literally spend hundreds of thousands on production and locations. These guys said we need need a video, everyone turn out your pockets and check the couch cushions. Alright let's do this...

[@angelamiller6275]

I have never heard this absolutely STUNNING song.❤

[@jackharrison8118]

Check out Conway Twitty- Only Make Believe 1990, it's a live performance of his first number one hit, you'll like him even more!

[@katkat-fm3wj]

Thank you Jesus.❤

[@kevinfarrell3121]

You spoke of “Tennessee Whiskey”, and the Stapleton version is nothing like the way the song originally was. David Allen Coe sang it, as well as George Jones back in the 80’s. Jones had a big Country hit with it over 40 years ago and I along with a bunch of us old timers love that version the best. I would love you to review George Jones’s version too! Totally different yet the same song!

[@daviddennison1025]

When Elvis and Kennedy died so many mourned their passing as if they were so much more than human but Jesus was only mourned by the women(the Marys) that were there mourning him because even the disciples were afraid and hiding.

[@bella-xp7qd]

Love Wayne Newton. He sounds like he sucked on helium. Thought when he was a kid his voice would change, but never did. Conway was such a nice man.

[@mikefetterman6782]

This is a fabulous song. Made me cry. Great reaction

I was told years ago that I don't need to compare myself to anyone. The only person I need to be better than is the person I was yesterday.

[@gloriakeener3883]

Conway was always great and so was Wayne Newton the host here. Wayne had a long career with his shows in Vegas.

[@judyd1]

Was in Vegas over Christmas in the '70s and disappointed to find almost all shows were dark ... except Wayne Newton. Best break we could have gotten; the show was dynamite.

[@hinsfan1]

Hey Sebs, you have Got to do a review of Toby Keiths "Dont Let The Old Man In" please!

[@hinsfan1]

Plus, he wrote the song for Clint Eastwoods birthday, and it was used in his movie The Mule

[@michealj9936]

@@hinsfan1I sent in a tip for him to do it about a week ago. Sebs has done my “suggestions” in as little as one day or as long as nearly three months. I know he is swamped by requests (mostly Country) so I’m good if my request has to work it’s way to the top of his queue. So stay tuned, he will definitely be reacting to it sooner or later. Sebs is a total class act!

[@hinsfan1]

@michealj9936 I hear ya my friend. Sebs is a super guy

[@lisag1510]

Conway Twitty was 40 when he wrote and sang a song about taking a girls virginity called "You've Never Been This Far Before".

[@dwhunter8904]

That’s actually incorrect. It’s. It’s not about taking her virginity, she was already with someone else. If you listen closely to the part where he says “ I don’t know what you told to tell him you don’t love him anymore”, that means she is cheating or having an affair,Wichita is something she hadn’t done before. A lot of people confuse this.
