is country music now some never ending episode of "punked"?. I mean is Ashton Kutcher about to jump out and shout "you got punked, country music has sucked for 15 years but it was all just a prank!" I mean this crappy pop phase has to end some time right?
simply put conway nailed it no matter who wrote it . God love conway!!!!!!!!!!!! and if you dont love conway you can kiss my tennessee ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I'm saying is.........I knew Harold Jenkins (AKA C. Twitty during his early country years. He was making a transition from Rock to Country, and lived and worked out of OKC.The song Image of Me, written by Wayne Kemp, was his biggest country hit at that time.Wayne was recovering from burns from a car wreck he, James Haskins, and Odie Dowdy were involved in.
As Conway became bigger and bigger in Country music, he moved to Tn. Get a life! What the hell is your problem?
The Fireman" - I'm the Only Hell my Momma Ever Raised"- those are songs to be proud of ...and as far as Nashville's top songwriting teams of the 1970's ,ever hear of Willie nelson? Chet Adkins ? bill anderson? those guys were the best . they rolled out the best of those years in music .
As a country DJ, back in the 60's, I had the pleasure of knowing Conway, and I guess you could say in a way, I worked for him.He owned part interest in a AM station KFAY in Fayetteville, Ar, where I was program director.
Even got to perform with him a few times at one of the local clubs, and if my old memory serves me, Wayne came to town with him occasionally. I'll always cherish and remember those day's...."RIP Harold"
@osuduckf so your saying Conway said "to hell with Nashville" I'm gonna go hang with a dj in Arkansas ? wayne and harry are much more exciting in Arkansas than anyone in Nashville.
I saw Conway at the Riverside in Laughlin, Nevada. He came out, sang his songs, then left.didn't acknowlege anyone, but had the best bus in the parking lot and put on a great show!
My best friend, Lew Houston, played steel on this recording. He died in '01, and I miss him. Conway would travel to Excelsior Springs, Mo., and visit Lew, and it was a pleasure knowing him.
I have special memories of this Song and of Conway! He Recorded Many Great Songs and was a Great Entertainer. Did he write some of his songs? I'm thinking he did?
Great story behind this song. The writer was broke and offered it to Conway for $500. Conway loaned him the money to get him back on his feet and then recorded the song. The songwriting royalties fed the writer's family for quite some time. Not just a great singer, but a great human being also.
