Jerry Lee Lewis and Conway Twitty - Danny Boy

[sauquoit13456]

SON-OF-GUN; JUST MADE IT!!! In 1959 Conway Twitty's version of "Danny Boy" peaked at No. 10 thus just making the Billboard's Top 10 and it spent a total of 18 weeks in the Top 100...

A few of the artists who have covered it are; Glenn Miller, Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Sam Cooke, Link Wray, Johnny Cash, Connie Francis, Andy Williams, Sil Austin, Elvis Presley, and countless others!!!

They are not singing together and someone forgot to put a mic in the piano or something.

@dpbethlem maybe Conway thought the JLL would steal the show, so he had the piano mic turned off...

These are the last two people i ever expected to be singing together for some reason

@BDMchess Why ? , Conway (Harold jenkins) started as a rocker at Sun.

[BDMchess]

@mrgbennet I know. I am quite familiar with his rock music in the 50's and 60's, but I didn't think that the world would be great enough to have him do a duet with Jerry Lee, who is another one of my favorite rock singers from that time. Ina sense, it seems somewhat too good to be true.

About the year 1960, I remember Conway Twitty had an LP out with his Rock 'n' Roll hits and some of Elvis' hits, Don't Be Cruel and Jailhouse Rock. The cover was a sullen face of Conway with eyes kind of looking up at you like he was lower than the camera. About that time I also remember him being billed on tour in Canada, as second in popularity only to Elvis Presley in the southern U.S.A. Wish I had bought that LP record. I have never seen that collection of songs by him since.

Heard the original 45 of Conway Twitty's version on XM5. I couldn't believe it was an American singing. Until I saw the artist display on the radio dial, I would have guessed that it was Lonnie Donagan. It also reminded me of some very early Beatles records like "My Bonnie". A shame that it's not available on YouTube.

can't hear the fuckin piano

[Polyphemus47]

@Brutus2 maybe because Twitty's vocal is what's important?
