*STEREO*. Conway Twitty gives a country guitar twang to Jimmy Jones' "Handy Man". Nice.

Conway could sing it all. He;s always been my favorite singer since 1958.

Thanks for putting this song on here.

@albeelat That's a quite a while!

[tunesmith09]

God bless you for posting this, Sir! Have the vinyl with this, "Diana", etc...love the Fender guitar amp echo sound from that era! I have not researched it, but I'm guessing that Conway sold more music as a country artist than as a Rock & Roll guy, but I love his Rock & Roll stuff much more..."Lonely Blue Boy", " Danny Boy", etc...ever heard his version of "You'll Never Walk Alone" from his Rock & Roll era?

Awesome Possum!...thanks again...The Tunesmith

@tunesmith09. Thanks for the enthusiastic comment. I transcribed this direct from the vinyl LP, a 70s re-release of his '60 album. Yes, all the tracks have a great lively sound.

[SirBasildeBrush]

Sir Bas, I can't believe I have never heard this version before, It's Great. So well done,

Barry

does anyone have acopy of his approx 1959-1962 lp i cant remeber the name of it but mine was destroyed much apre .

[albeelat]

When Conway was at Sun Records all the gave him was crap to sing, I'm glad

got away from them. I got a lot of his older offbeat songs like Driving Me Wild

Next Kiss, This Road I Walk ect. I really enjoy listening to them myself, some oft them have to grow on you. Even back in the old days he would sing anybody;s song. He would speed them up to Rock & Roll., like he did with

Mona Lisa. Us old south side greasers back in the late 50s in OKC sure

enjoyed them. He was part of our times like Elvis.

Oh, blow it out of your ass, silly. This is still distinctively, Conway. YOU must be white!

[jarrod154]

more like twitty steals another black song and gets paid

[broadwaypfb]

Super job Conway

[NobodyFucksWithJesus]

This version is AWESOME!

James Taylor has got a good version too, but I think I prefer this one.

[teddyboy1000]

sorry thats BEAR RECORDS

[teddyboy1000]

When I was a kid every one was an Elvis fan I was a Conway Twitty fan. I have ALWAYS thought Conway had one of the best and SEXIEST voices in rock and roll and when he growls well what can I say WOW.

For those who don't know The German Co Bera records has a 12 cd box set of EVERYTHING Conway ever did on MGM The Rock and Roll Years including the elusive Teasin'

Thanks for this video CONWAY will ALWAYS be the best.
