This song never fails to make me cry. Conway had such an amazing voice. Few people hold a candle to the legendary Mr. Twitty. As for the military theme, I think that was a fan made video, I don't think Conway made an official video other than a recording of him just singing this. My aunt adored this man. She saw him several times in concert. Says he was one of the greatest singers she had ever heard live. As for songs by Conway...wow, where to begin. "Hello, Darling" is one of the greatest of all time. "Slow Hand" and "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" a duet with the glorious Loretta Lynn. Actually, he has a number of duets with Loretta Lynn.
Conway Twitty has a lot of greats. Here's some of Conway Twitty's greatest " Hello darlin", "Happy birthday darlin" , " It's only make believe", "Tight fittin' jeans", " "I'd love to lay you down", " I don't know a thing about love (the moon song)" , " I see the want to in your eyes", " Linda on my mind" , " Play guitar play", "The rose" , "Slow hand", "You've never been this far before", " Don't cry Joni" ft Joni Lee
Some other good Conway Twitty songs would be Hello Darlin', Slow Hand, I'd Just Love To Lay You Down, Tight Fittin' Jeans, and Louisiana Woman Mississippi Man (which is a duet with Loretta Lynn)
Louisiana woman, Mississippi man Conway and Loretta Tight fitting jeans I love to lay you down Slow hand It’s only make believe Take your pick they are all great And they shouldn’t hit ya in the feels all upbeat songs
Conway Twitty is a legend, and his voice is one of the best in the history of country music. I grew up with my Grandma listening to him, he was her favorite. This song was played at my Grandpa's funeral as well, and it's still hard to make it through this with dry eyes. Keep ones like this one coming, much appreciated!
Conway Twitty. A country music OG Icon. He and Loretta Lynn sang together for years and were wonderful together. I hope he pops up on your channel again. He has so many wonderful songs.
GREAT SONG!!!!!!!! I can’t listen to it since my daddy died without crying…. 😭 ❤️ Such a timeless song and Conway’s voice is like velvet!!!! Conway suggestion “Goodbye Time”
I’m just a balling. My Dad prepared me for everything, except how to live without him. But I was very fortunate to have him live with me the last 30 years of his life. My Dad was WWII & Korean War veteran. So I think whoever made this video, their Dad was probably a veteran too and that’s how they felt to honor their dad. But without a doubt, this song is for anyone. I was a single mom of two, aa few years after my divorce my Dad moved in with me and became my day care while I worked. By then he had retired and was having health issues, so it was good for him too. The kids dad was a dead beat dad, no child support, and not a part of my kids life. But my Dad stepped up, and basically was my kids father figure. After while they just called him Dad too, probably because that’s what they heard me calling him. Even though they knew he was Papa. I lost him in 2014, and thankfully my daughter and I were right by his side. My son was riding in a rodeo, but left and made it to the hospital before they called it. So although he was not there when my Dad had the heart attack (while in the hospital) he was there when they stopped working on him. So in reality we were all there, and I believe he knew that. Something I feared so much was him passing alone when I was working. I’ve never been closer to anybody as I was with my Dad. I was very fortunate, as it sounds like you were too. I hold my head up high, stand up tall, and push forward no matter what, just like my daddy taught me. But I’m still so broken inside, I’m surprised I’ve made it this far. The song Cowgirls Don’t Cry by Brooks & Dunn (also Reba) gets me every time too. But it’s also how I was raised. ❤️❤️
I unfortunately have lost both of my parents so I always feel the emotion of this song cause I was barely a teen when I lost my mom and my dad was the center of my world until I lost him. But I absolutely love this song and great reaction.
Conway Twitty was Military this was a memorial to him he died in 1993 he died of an aortic rupture he left the world too soon. He started in Rock and Roll but his passion was Country. After graduating from high school, Conway Twitty was offered a contract to play baseball for the Philadelphia Phillies, but was unable to accept because he was drafted into the Army during the Korean War.
I had 8 brothers and sisters, my dad a very independent guy always in charge and almost never a nice word, but he taught us boys plenty , most of it was good . Yeah he was rough but that was him , when he was getting up in age he asked me to help him work on his truck, something he never did , while under the hood he told me he was proud of me and told me I turned out to a good person. He died 4 years later. I still miss him. This song makes anyone tear up
Absolutely yes to the OG Friday!!! Conway Twitty (the original OG smooth talker) - “Tight Fitting Jeans” “Slow Hand” & duet with Loretta Lynn - “You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly”. Now you’re seeing why people who are fans of old OG country think that most of the artist today aren’t true country. The OGs could captivate you with their voice alone, without all the flashy extras. And prayers for your father Keith, I just lost my Dad to Cancer.
Our thoughts are with you Keith. I had my father in law go through hospice last year and my mom about 10 years ago. My suggestion is to really get help from your hospice team. They can really ease your mind during this time by talking you through everything, helping with arraignments and providing special care for you dad.
Conway Twitty's Hello Darlin and him and Loretta singing Your the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly are good ones. This song hits differently when your daddy is gone. I always cry when I hear it. The last two years have had me in a deep depression since my daddy passed away. Thank you for this reaction. The military references hit more because my daddy was a Vietnam veteran.
Favorite Conway Twitty songs 1. Louisiana woman Mississippi man 2. Tight fittin' jeans 3. Hello Darlin 4. Linda on my mind 5. Slow hand 6. I'd love to lay you down 7. It's only make believe 8. Your the reason our kids are ugly
This is one of my top Daddy songs. It gets me every time. Its all about the story. George Strait's Love Without End Amen is another. For oldies you could try Roy Clark - Thank God And Greyhound or David Frizzell - I'm Gonna Hire A Wino, for something a little lighter.
Conway is an absolute LEGEND! He has too many hits to pick a favorite. "It's Only Make Believe" is a great one to showcase his vocal range. "Hello Darlin'" is probably his trademark song (and the version recorded where he sang it in Russian is good).
This isn't the original version of this song. Someone added the Military dedicated to her Dad. I dedicate this song every Father's day for my Dad😢❤🎉 It's a beautiful song to dedicate to a Dad❤
I'm so glad that we have finally converted you somewhat! Here's another oldie but goodie, Vern Gosden singing " Chiseled in Stone". My favorite Conway Twitty song is Only Make Believe.
First off , I’m so sorry about your dad Keith , your family will be in my prayers . Conway was absolutely amazing 🤩, I agree with everyone else, you can’t go wrong with any Conway song. I met him one time and he was just the sweetest person and very down to earth , was a moment I will never forget. Hello Darlin’ It's Only Make Believe You've Never Been This Far Before · Linda on My Mind I’d Love to Lay You Down Tight Fittin' Jeans
Gary Allen wrote a few songs after his wife committed suicide in their home that are very beautiful and meaningful to those who have lost someone "Best I Ever Had" and "Life Ain't Always Beautiful"
I can’t listen to this without crying. It’s in my top 3 of all time. It reminds me of my papa, the best man I ever knew. He sang it to me on the farm all the time. Great choice guys 💯💙
I used to always play this song, and tear up because these were the words I wanted to relay to my dad. When he passed, the words of this song, were never truer,
‘Harold Lloyd Jenkins!’ Born in the Mississippi Delta and took his stage name from towns in Arkansas. He died suddenly in 1993 from a ruptured abdominal aneurysm. Definitely gone too soon. My favs are Slow Hand and Lay You Down. Yeah he sang to the ladies and was considered a sex symbol for sure! Hello Darlin’ I think was probably his most popular. R.I.P. Conway. ♥️
This song always brings tears, but it is a great song and I love me some Conway! Keith, I am sorry to hear about your Dad. My Dad has been gone 20 years and I miss him every day. Prayers for strength to you and your family. Love you guys! Thanks for all you do. Your videos take my mind off the crazy world.
You are right.. This is not a song even remotely military related.. This is a great song. It brings back memories of parents loving and taking care of you. I am sorry about your Dad.
Here's a couple of... ...songs that have been in the barrel for a spell. . In the feels: "Teddy Bear" by Red Sovine. Not so much: "She Got the Gold Mine (I Got the Shaft)" by Jerry Reed. . Listen Responsibly
Conway hit the scene in the fifties with his rock hit….Only Make Believe! His vocals made him an instant loved artist and hit maker. An OG! Throughout his solo and music collaborations; Conway never recorded a bad song. He brought soul to Country music.
Yes on the OG day!!! As far as I'm concerned everyday could be OG day!!! And I can keep you hooked up with songs! And on OG Fridays play several songs. Maybe a throwback Thursday?? Or a way back Wednesday? or maybe a timeless Tuesday? Or a forgotten Friday? 😂😂😂 🤘🤘 Thank you Dustin for tracking all the songs! I'm sorry I keep you so busy! 😂
Flicking A dudes...60 year old former marine...s.c....these days...these singers...these songs...had heart ❤..meaning ...morales ...soul..rhythm...life messages...memorys...what I grew up on...and unless you did too..dont understand....wish young folks now could here this stuff....but.....life changes...people change..thanks a bunch...yall keep on doing what you do..yall my favorite......
Damn… thoughts for you and your family Keith. Also nice reaction vid guys…. Another vote for John Prine - Sam Stone, the version where he’s live, just a young him and the guitar on an old TV show.
Brooks and Dunn 1. Hard workin Man 2. My next broken heart 3. Cowgirls don't cry 4. Honky Tonk Truth 5. Brand new man 6. She's not the cheating kind 7. That ain't no way to go 8. She used to be mine
So sorry to hear about your dad. I went thru hospice with my dad. My husband named my cat Conway Kitty. Con for short and she lived 21 years. I love Make Believe by Conway Twitty. This is a classic that I feel has kinda been forgotten about. But wow, his vocals in this song is amazing to me. Love your channel!
What took so long? I have been recommending this forever!! But nooo everybody's got to vote on it or bribe y'all's asses! 😂😂😂 Just kiddin. I absolutely love this song and it's not just from a father's perspective but mothers and daughters feel that way too. I have been singing this to my daughter since she was little. Thank you so much for finally getting around to playing this song! ❤️❤️❤️ Conway is awesome!!!! And his singing partner was Loretta Lynn and they did some really good songs together. If you want to hear more Conway I would suggest..... Hello darling I'd love to lay you down Tight fittin jeans It's only Make Believe Don't cry Joni The Rose Slow hand.... Yeah I could go on forever..... For Conway and Loretta songs I would suggest... I still believe in waltzes You're the reason our kids are ugly Louisiana Woman Mississippi Man The letter.... Just really anything by them is good! ❤️😊
Awesome reaction video! Conway is my Dad's favorite! I remember hearing this with my Dad, and he's singing along. Both of my folks are in their 80's. This always gets me in the feels. Sorry about your Dad Keith. Used to drink VOB with a buddy when I was a teenager. Good inexpensive stuff.
Conway is one of the Goats of country music. Not many people can hold a candle to him. I recommend all of his songs even his duets with Loretta Lynn!!!
Enjoyed your reaction is always guys. You ask for Conway you'll get Conway. Hello darling. Lying here beside her with Linda on my mind,Tight fitting jeans. Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn you're the reason our kids are ugly. Louisiana woman Mississippi Man. Have a great day.
Oh Conway was played every weekend in my home cleaning house along with all the OG’s of Country His song i’de Love to lay you down The Rose , Its Only Make Believe and one of my funny favorites With Loretta Lynn …. Your The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly
Recommendations: Travis Tritt (trilogy): Anymore, Tell Me I Was Dreaming, and If I Lost You Thomas Rhett (songs go together): Marry Me and Remember You Young
I have never stopped singing a song during a performance and used to perform this one... my dad died in 2002. The very first time I tried to perform this after his passing, I had to stop on the final chorus. I couldn't detach/desensitize myself from/to the content. Just over 20 years later, I still have never again been able to peform it... I have tried to just practice it many times since, and always have to stop practicing for about half an hour to deal with my emotions. When the song was released, I thought it was a great song, and my dad was alive and healthy. So, it was just a song I felt good about knowing. Little did I know how hard it would hit me later. Keith, I feel for you , brother. I have only recently found you guys, and don't know your current situation. I only have experience with my dad in hospice and my wife's dad in hospice.. you have my sympathy. If you have/had a close relationship with your father, keep this song handy. I have found that when I need to work through those feelings, and for me after 20 years it still feels fresh, while this song is does not entirely describe the relationship between my dad and myself, it checks enough boxes and strangely, helps me work through that period of grief.
"I pray someday I might light as bright as he." I want to thank you gentlemen for doing this particular song. Your timing is uncanny. My father passed away this past weekend. There's not a person on this planet that I loved and respected more than he. He spent his entire career in service, first with the Navy (30+ years if you count his reserve time), then as a cop (21 years) before finishing his career with US Customs (16 years). He was also a big fan of these older country music artists from the 50s, 60s and 70s... which included Conway Twitty. As far as some of these OG country artists go, check out artists like Buck Owens, "Gentleman" Jim Reeves, The Statler Brothers, Roger Miller, Roy Acuff, Gene Autry, or Sons of the Pioneers.
Conway was great. Surprise! He had twice as many #1 hits as Elvis. His "growl" was iconic. (I'm trying to remember a song about being a country star with a line about, "You gotta growl like Conway", among other references to country singers. Anybody?) This one hits hard. You could say I lost my dad twice.
I went to many of his concerts growing up and every concert he sounded exactly like his cd’s and the emotion he sang with was unbelievable, in my eyes there was never anyone close to perfection than Conway! True legend!
You are absolutely right, Keith! This is not the official video, at least I’ve never seen it……I was thinking exactly the same thing, that it has absolutely nothing to do with military!🤔🤔🤔
1 of my top favorite songs growing up!! Such a Great message. Alabama has a song called Angels among us is another Great song to check out too:) great reaction guys
Sorry about your dad Keith. Lost my dad 11 years ago but still remember that feeling of not just the loss of him but feelings of losing my safety net even though I was a grown man with 2 sons that were already adults. First time I have heard the military tied to this song so think it was UA-cam mix. OG Fridays would be awesome. You need to hear Conway's song tight fitting jeans or Mel Mcdaniel's Baby's got her bluejeans on. Just 2 little sexy country tunes.
Conway was one of the best. May I suggest Lee Greenwood " God Bless the USA"? I saw him do it live both when he opened for Kenny Rogers, and again for Alabama..The most powerful performance both times I was lucky enough to see.
One of my favorite sappy country love song writers Steve Wariner. 1. The Weekend 2. Your Memory 3. Lonely women make good lovers 4. Some fools never learn 5. Small Town Girl 6. Lynda 7. Life's Highway 8. What I didn't do 9. You can dream of me
The stuff at the beginning of this video and all throughout was added by whoever's channel this is from. It was not part of any "official" video or anything from Conway.
Favorite Conway songs: Slow Hands, I’d just love to lay you down, Louisiana Woman Mississippi Man and Tight fitting jeans. Great reaction! This song ALWAYS makes me cry. It was written right after his father died I believe.
This song is one that before kids I listened to it from the perspective of the child and I would cry. After kids, I listened to it from the prospective of a parent and cried again.
Hi Guys. I love when you get in your feels. (Of course, also when you get funny with some of your reactions) As always, a great reaction. I’m glad you’re going down the classic country path. That’s my genre, and also the way I grew up. Conway has so many hits, it’s hard to choose. How about “Hello Darlin” and “You’ve Never Been This Far Before”?
The military references are likely to be personal to who put up the video. My dad is 90 years old and failing. Korean War Veteran. The sisters are looking for a tribute song for him. I really like Dan Fogelberg's "Leader of the Band" (soft rock). I had forgotten about this one. You should check out Roger Miller. "King of the Road", "Dang Me", "Chug-A-Lug", "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd". 1960s fun country songs.
When music videos got more popular, l remember Conway saying he wasn't gonna do any videos. He felt the song was enough. A video of him singing a song would be from a tv special, award show, concert or a tv show like Hee Haw. Conway has a long list of hits & all are great. My favorite is "You've never been this far before". The duets with Loretta Lynn are fantastic. They had fun singing together. "Louisiana Woman Mississippi Man" "Lead me on" "After the fire is gone" "Feelins" "I can't love you enough" "7 til 10" "Lovin' what you're lovin' does to me" "You know just what l'd do" "I still believe in waltzes" "As soon as l hang up the phone" "The Letter" Funny songs by them are; "You're the reason our kids are ugly" "I don't like spiders & snakes" Conway & Loretta were the best of friends. Even Loretta's husband Doo loved Conway. Very sad day when Conway died. I believe if Conway was alive today he'd still be making hit songs & George Strait would of never passed up Conway with hit songs. Conway was known as "The best friend a song ever had & he knew how to write. Sure do miss him. Why don't you do a Conway & Loretta day. Play a song by Conway, then a song by Loretta & then end it with one of their duets. That would be fun!
Conway Twitty Country-music star Harold Lloyd Jenkins was offered a contract to play for the Philadelphia Phillies before getting drafted into World War II. Stationed in Japan, he wound up forming a band and joining the local Army baseball team. The former endeavor won a military talent competition, and the band was then attached to the Armed Forces Radio Service in Tokyo. Couldn't find out why they used the military references in this video,,, maybe the song was written when he was in, or by one of the band members...
This song always brings a tear, not only because it's a beautiful song but because that kind of dad is the one I'd always wished I had. Same thing with Holly Dunn's "Daddy's Hands". I've always wondered what it would have been like to have a loving father when I was a kid.
On the ride home from the hospital after my Dad was pronounced dead, this song played, and I lost it. Anything Dad related.. gets me everytime. That is the sign of a great Daddy. !! Thanks for checking Conway out.. love this era of music.
Prayers for you Dad Keith Some of my favorite Conway songs are: Hello darlin, It's only make believe, Tight fittin' jeans, I'd love to lay you down, Slow hand, You've never been this far before
Conway and Loretta just adds to their individual legendary statuses. On that note check out Tre Twitty and Tayla Lynn. Tre doesn't sound like Conway, but has his unique sound and talent, and Tayla has a true hint of Loretta in her voice. Their stage presence together is the same though.
There is a video out there with Conway simply sitting on a stool and singing this song. ua-cam.com/video/CNlfCGxfTFQ/v-deo.html . Also Dustin, Gary Allan would agree with you.. Conway was a legend for a reason. Males aren't the only ones that go through this, as a single mom. There was a fair number of times that I was aware that I needed to make sure I had a back up plan in case they needed to be saved. It's a parent thing. Great reaction.
Conway is the ultimate. Straight up. He's right up there next to Elvis, even used to sing almost identical to him. Multiple genres, 50 number ones, has so many hits that it's just crazy.
You're reacting to country music, so much of it will hit you in the feels. And comparing Conway Twitty to Gary Allen is unfair to Gary Allen, since Conway Twitty was an influential legend in Country Music before anyone had ever heard of Gary Allen.
There is a song that Alan Jackson sang that perfectly fits where you guys are with your expanded musical horizon today and aptly called 'Gone Country'.
Dude, this is my first time hearing this song. Wow. . . I'm stunned. I'm incredibly fortunate to still have both my parents, bit they are getting older and the thought of losing either of them scares me. I lived with then until last year when I was 26. I know that's a long time, but I have such an incredible relationship with them. I was paying rent since I graduated college at 22. But the rent was significantly less than an apartment in the denver area. It allowed me to save enough money to purchase my first place. I'm only about 15 minutes from them. My parents are my best friends. My dad is the hardest working man I've ever known. He worked 3 jobs most of the time I was growing up. But he always had time for me. One of his jobs was doing yard work and I would often go out with him to help. He sacrificed so much for us without ever complaining. In February I got a call from him in the back of an ambulance on his way to the hospital. He had rolled his car on his way into work at 3am. He needed me to go get my mom and bring her to the hospital. I was in a panic. He could talk much because he needed to call mom. I made it to my parents house in 6 minutes! Thankfully he was OK. Bruses and a concussion, but nothing to severe. But it scared me senseless. I don't want to think about losing either of them. Great song.
It's a hit you in the feels song for sure. Conway is an awesome singer. Any of his songs are worth listening to. Linda on my mind is a personal favorite, but that's my Mothers name and I miss her greatly. For an OG, Patsy Kline 'Crazy', follow it by LeAnn Rimes with 'Blue'.. seriously. LeAnn isn't OG, but the song was written for Patsy. For a personal "hit in the feels Daddy song", ' Cause he didnt have to be', by Brad Paisley.
Twitty is OG. Nothing more can be said. Johnny Horton - basically any of him - but specially Sink the Bismark, Johonny Freedom, and Johnny Reb Willie Nelson - City of New Orleans, Sing one with Willie (George Straight) and Mind your own business Gordon Lightfoot - Wreck of the Edmund Fritzgerald
Check out a couple of 'sexy songs' of his, like 'I'd love to lay you down' or 'I can tell you've never been this far before'. 'It's only make believe' is probably his biggest hit. 'Hello Darlin' is another goodie.

This was not an official video, someone made it. I agree, the song stands strong alone, no need for the military placements.
I agree lol the only logical reason I see is maybe the video creator lost their father in service but im just guessing
Louisiana woman, Mississippi man Conway and Loretta
Tight fitting jeans
I love to lay you down
Slow hand
It’s only make believe
Take your pick they are all great
And they shouldn’t hit ya in the feels all upbeat songs
All of these songs are a must

Conway Twitty is the artist that got me in to Classic Country. Such a legend.
Sorry to hear about your dad Keith.
Conway Twitty is a legend, and his voice is one of the best in the history of country music. I grew up with my Grandma listening to him, he was her favorite. This song was played at my Grandpa's funeral as well, and it's still hard to make it through this with dry eyes. Keep ones like this one coming, much appreciated!
Conway Twitty. A country music OG Icon. He and Loretta Lynn sang together for years and were wonderful together. I hope he pops up on your channel again. He has so many wonderful songs.
GREAT SONG!!!!!!!! I can’t listen to it since my daddy died without crying…. 😭 ❤️
Such a timeless song and Conway’s voice is like velvet!!!!
Conway suggestion “Goodbye Time”
I’m just a balling. My Dad prepared me for everything, except how to live without him. But I was very fortunate to have him live with me the last 30 years of his life. My Dad was WWII & Korean War veteran. So I think whoever made this video, their Dad was probably a veteran too and that’s how they felt to honor their dad. But without a doubt, this song is for anyone. I was a single mom of two, aa few years after my divorce my Dad moved in with me and became my day care while I worked.

So although he was not there when my Dad had the heart attack (while in the hospital) he was there when they stopped working on him. So in reality we were all there, and I believe he knew that. Something I feared so much was him passing alone when I was working. I’ve never been closer to anybody as I was with my Dad. I was very fortunate, as it sounds like you were too. I hold my head up high, stand up tall, and push forward no matter what, just like my daddy taught me. But I’m still so broken inside, I’m surprised I’ve made it this far. The song Cowgirls Don’t Cry by Brooks & Dunn (also Reba) gets me every time too. But it’s also how I was raised. ❤️❤️
@@runningdeer2111 I understand, took me several years to figure out who I was without my daddy
Conway is another old school country performer that will be partly responsible for keeping real country music alive forever.
I unfortunately have lost both of my parents so I always feel the emotion of this song cause I was barely a teen when I lost my mom and my dad was the center of my world until I lost him. But I absolutely love this song and great reaction.
One conway twitty song you should check out for a laugh is you're the reason our kids are ugly. It's a duet with loretta lynn
Added a vote for that one -dustin
@@BourbonCountryReacts Thanks. That's a great one.
Conway Twitty was Military this was a memorial to him he died in 1993 he died of an aortic rupture he left the world too soon. He started in Rock and Roll but his passion was Country. After graduating from high school, Conway Twitty was offered a contract to play baseball for the Philadelphia Phillies, but was unable to accept because he was drafted into the Army during the Korean War.
I'm loving your reactions and comments to Conway Twitty's song (That's My Job)😢❤😢❤
I had 8 brothers and sisters, my dad a very independent guy always in charge and almost never a nice word, but he taught us boys plenty , most of it was good . Yeah he was rough but that was him , when he was getting up in age he asked me to help him work on his truck, something he never did , while under the hood he told me he was proud of me and told me I turned out to a good person. He died 4 years later. I still miss him. This song makes anyone tear up
Absolutely yes to the OG Friday!!! Conway Twitty (the original OG smooth talker) - “Tight Fitting Jeans” “Slow Hand” & duet with Loretta Lynn - “You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly”. Now you’re seeing why people who are fans of old OG country think that most of the artist today aren’t true country. The OGs could captivate you with their voice alone, without all the flashy extras. And prayers for your father Keith, I just lost my Dad to Cancer.

“I’d love to lay you down” is a great Conway song.

Our thoughts are with you Keith. I had my father in law go through hospice last year and my mom about 10 years ago. My suggestion is to really get help from your hospice team. They can really ease your mind during this time by talking you through everything, helping with arraignments and providing special care for you dad.
Conway Twitty's Hello Darlin and him and Loretta singing Your the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly are good ones. This song hits differently when your daddy is gone. I always cry when I hear it. The last two years have had me in a deep depression since my daddy passed away. Thank you for this reaction. The military references hit more because my daddy was a Vietnam veteran.

This is one of my top Daddy songs. It gets me every time. Its all about the story. George Strait's Love Without End Amen is another. For oldies you could try Roy Clark - Thank God And Greyhound or David Frizzell - I'm Gonna Hire A Wino, for something a little lighter.
I vote for all those too!
A real daddy song is Daddy's Hands by Holly Dunn.

Conway is an absolute LEGEND! He has too many hits to pick a favorite. "It's Only Make Believe" is a great one to showcase his vocal range. "Hello Darlin'" is probably his trademark song (and the version recorded where he sang it in Russian is good).
This isn't the original version of this song. Someone added the Military dedicated to her Dad. I dedicate this song every Father's day for my Dad😢❤🎉 It's a beautiful song to dedicate to a Dad❤
Any Conway is great, some of his best I think is "Hello Darlin" "the Rose" ""Slow Hand" but so many that I can listen to time and time again.

First off , I’m so sorry about your dad Keith , your family will be in my prayers .
Conway was absolutely amazing 🤩, I agree with everyone else, you can’t go wrong with any Conway song. I met him one time and he was just the sweetest person and very down to earth , was a moment I will never forget.
Hello Darlin’
It's Only Make Believe
You've Never Been This Far Before ·
Linda on My Mind
I’d Love to Lay You Down
Tight Fittin' Jeans
Gary Allen wrote a few songs after his wife committed suicide in their home that are very beautiful and meaningful to those who have lost someone "Best I Ever Had" and "Life Ain't Always Beautiful"
Life Ain't Always Beautiful is a good one
I can’t listen to this without crying. It’s in my top 3 of all time. It reminds me of my papa, the best man I ever knew. He sang it to me on the farm all the time. Great choice guys 💯💙
Conway was a living legend. I think Gary would agree he's not the same caliber as Conway
I used to always play this song, and tear up because these were the words I wanted to relay to my dad. When he passed, the words of this song, were never truer,
‘Harold Lloyd Jenkins!’ Born in the Mississippi Delta and took his stage name from towns in Arkansas. He died suddenly in 1993 from a ruptured abdominal aneurysm. Definitely gone too soon. My favs are Slow Hand and Lay You Down. Yeah he sang to the ladies and was considered a sex symbol for sure! Hello Darlin’ I think was probably his most popular. R.I.P. Conway. ♥️
This song always brings tears, but it is a great song and I love me some Conway! Keith, I am sorry to hear about your Dad. My Dad has been gone 20 years and I miss him every day. Prayers for strength to you and your family. Love you guys! Thanks for all you do. Your videos take my mind off the crazy world.
Every time I hear this song I tear up. My dad and I sang this song together and now I sing it with my kids
You are right.. This is not a song even remotely military related..
This is a great song. It brings back memories of parents loving and taking care of you.
I am sorry about your Dad.
An OG day sounds like a great idea. I love OG country and for the most parts it's all I listen to.
GLAD YOU TWO ARE BACK !!! LOVE YOUR HONESTY ❤

Conway hit the scene in the fifties with his rock hit….Only Make Believe! His vocals made him an instant loved artist and hit maker. An OG! Throughout his solo and music collaborations; Conway never recorded a bad song. He brought soul to Country music.
Yes on the OG day!!! As far as I'm concerned everyday could be OG day!!! And I can keep you hooked up with songs! And on OG Fridays play several songs. Maybe a throwback Thursday?? Or a way back Wednesday? or maybe a timeless Tuesday? Or a forgotten Friday? 😂😂😂 🤘🤘 Thank you Dustin for tracking all the songs! I'm sorry I keep you so busy! 😂

One of my all-time favorites.
So sorry to hear about your dad. I went thru hospice with my dad.
My husband named my cat Conway Kitty. Con for short and she lived 21 years. I love Make Believe by Conway Twitty. This is a classic that I feel has kinda been forgotten about. But wow, his vocals in this song is amazing to me. Love your channel!
Thanks! And yeah, great vocals. - Keith
What took so long? I have been recommending this forever!! But nooo everybody's got to vote on it or bribe y'all's asses! 😂😂😂 Just kiddin. I absolutely love this song and it's not just from a father's perspective but mothers and daughters feel that way too. I have been singing this to my daughter since she was little. Thank you so much for finally getting around to playing this song! ❤️❤️❤️ Conway is awesome!!!! And his singing partner was Loretta Lynn and they did some really good songs together. If you want to hear more Conway I would suggest.....

Awesome reaction video! Conway is my Dad's favorite! I remember hearing this with my Dad, and he's singing along. Both of my folks are in their 80's. This always gets me in the feels. Sorry about your Dad Keith. Used to drink VOB with a buddy when I was a teenager. Good inexpensive stuff.
Conway is one of the Goats of country music. Not many people can hold a candle to him. I recommend all of his songs even his duets with Loretta Lynn!!!
I lost my dad seven years ago and every time I hear this song it makes me think about all the times he was there for me.
Enjoyed your reaction is always guys. You ask for Conway you'll get Conway. Hello darling. Lying here beside her with Linda on my mind,Tight fitting jeans. Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn you're the reason our kids are ugly. Louisiana woman Mississippi Man. Have a great day.

Amazing song
Oh Conway was played every weekend in my home cleaning house along with all the OG’s of Country
His song i’de Love to lay you down
The Rose , Its Only Make Believe and one of my funny favorites With Loretta Lynn …. Your The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly
Recommendations:
Travis Tritt (trilogy): Anymore, Tell Me I Was Dreaming, and If I Lost You
Thomas Rhett (songs go together): Marry Me and Remember You Young
I miss my pops and my mom. Peace, Love!!
I have never stopped singing a song during a performance and used to perform this one... my dad died in 2002. The very first time I tried to perform this after his passing, I had to stop on the final chorus. I couldn't detach/desensitize myself from/to the content. Just over 20 years later, I still have never again been able to peform it... I have tried to just practice it many times since, and always have to stop practicing for about half an hour to deal with my emotions.
When the song was released, I thought it was a great song, and my dad was alive and healthy. So, it was just a song I felt good about knowing. Little did I know how hard it would hit me later.
Keith, I feel for you , brother. I have only recently found you guys, and don't know your current situation. I only have experience with my dad in hospice and my wife's dad in hospice.. you have my sympathy. If you have/had a close relationship with your father, keep this song handy. I have found that when I need to work through those feelings, and for me after 20 years it still feels fresh, while this song is does not entirely describe the relationship between my dad and myself, it checks enough boxes and strangely, helps me work through that period of grief.
I appreciate that. - Keith
Rest your love on me and Love to lay you down are 2 of my favorites by Conway
Thank you for your honest straight forward reactions. My favorite of his is It’s Only Make Believe.

"I pray someday I might light as bright as he." I want to thank you gentlemen for doing this particular song. Your timing is uncanny. My father passed away this past weekend. There's not a person on this planet that I loved and respected more than he. He spent his entire career in service, first with the Navy (30+ years if you count his reserve time), then as a cop (21 years) before finishing his career with US Customs (16 years). He was also a big fan of these older country music artists from the 50s, 60s and 70s... which included Conway Twitty.
As far as some of these OG country artists go, check out artists like Buck Owens, "Gentleman" Jim Reeves, The Statler Brothers, Roger Miller, Roy Acuff, Gene Autry, or Sons of the Pioneers.
Sorry for your loss and a Huge THANK YOU to him for his service. God Bless your family!
I'm very sorry about your loss. I am praying for you.
@@amandapatch7496 Thank you!
@@truckermike1997 Thank you! I only mentioned his service because of them saying how the military images in the video are out of place.
Sorry for your loss Justin
My father died suddenly many years ago Dec. 21, woke up Dec. 25 preparing to go to Mom's and this came on the radio.
Conway was great. Surprise! He had twice as many #1 hits as Elvis. His "growl" was iconic. (I'm trying to remember a song about being a country star with a line about, "You gotta growl like Conway", among other references to country singers. Anybody?)
This one hits hard. You could say I lost my dad twice.
I went to many of his concerts growing up and every concert he sounded exactly like his cd’s and the emotion he sang with was unbelievable, in my eyes there was never anyone close to perfection than Conway! True legend!
Keith prayers for your dad,you and the family. Love Conway Twitty.
Thank you.
I would suggest Tight Fitting Jeans as a next Conway.
Conway Twitty: Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man (with Loretta Lynn), Hello Darlin, Tight Fittin' Jeans
You are absolutely right, Keith! This is not the official video, at least I’ve never seen it……I was thinking exactly the same thing, that it has absolutely nothing to do with military!🤔🤔🤔
1 of my top favorite songs growing up!! Such a Great message. Alabama has a song called Angels among us is another Great song to check out too:) great reaction guys
Added a vote for that one, and thanks! -Dustin
Sorry about your dad Keith. Lost my dad 11 years ago but still remember that feeling of not just the loss of him but feelings of losing my safety net even though I was a grown man with 2 sons that were already adults. First time I have heard the military tied to this song so think it was UA-cam mix. OG Fridays would be awesome. You need to hear Conway's song tight fitting jeans or Mel Mcdaniel's Baby's got her bluejeans on. Just 2 little sexy country tunes.
I will add a vote for those 2 songs as well.
Thank you. - Keith

Conway was one of the best. May I suggest Lee Greenwood " God Bless the USA"? I saw him do it live both when he opened for Kenny Rogers, and again for Alabama..The most powerful performance both times I was lucky enough to see.
Hello Darling is my favorite and the one that got the crowds going. The Rose is another good one.

The stuff at the beginning of this video and all throughout was added by whoever's channel this is from. It was not part of any "official" video or anything from Conway.
Favorite Conway songs: Slow Hands, I’d just love to lay you down, Louisiana Woman Mississippi Man and Tight fitting jeans. Great reaction! This song ALWAYS makes me cry. It was written right after his father died I believe.
This song is one that before kids I listened to it from the perspective of the child and I would cry. After kids, I listened to it from the prospective of a parent and cried again.
Huh, I didn't consider that, but it certainly works both ways. Good callout! - Keith
Hi Guys. I love when you get in your feels. (Of course, also when you get funny with some of your reactions) As always, a great reaction. I’m glad you’re going down the classic country path. That’s my genre, and also the way I grew up. Conway has so many hits, it’s hard to choose. How about “Hello Darlin” and “You’ve Never Been This Far Before”?
The military references are likely to be personal to who put up the video. My dad is 90 years old and failing. Korean War Veteran. The sisters are looking for a tribute song for him. I really like Dan Fogelberg's "Leader of the Band" (soft rock). I had forgotten about this one. You should check out Roger Miller. "King of the Road", "Dang Me", "Chug-A-Lug", "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd". 1960s fun country songs.
Added votes for all of these tunes -Dustin
When music videos got more popular, l remember Conway saying he wasn't gonna do any videos. He felt the song was enough. A video of him singing a song would be from a tv special, award show, concert or a tv show like Hee Haw. Conway has a long list of hits & all are great. My favorite is "You've never been this far before". The duets with Loretta Lynn are fantastic. They had fun singing together. "Louisiana Woman Mississippi Man"
"Lead me on"
"After the fire is gone"
"Feelins"
"I can't love you enough"
"7 til 10"
"Lovin' what you're lovin' does to me"
"You know just what l'd do"
"I still believe in waltzes"
"As soon as l hang up the phone"
"The Letter"
Funny songs by them are;
"You're the reason our kids are ugly"
"I don't like spiders & snakes"
Conway & Loretta were the best of friends. Even Loretta's husband Doo loved Conway. Very sad day when Conway died. I believe if Conway was alive today he'd still be making hit songs & George Strait would of never passed up Conway with hit songs. Conway was known as "The best friend a song ever had & he knew how to write. Sure do miss him. Why don't you do a Conway & Loretta day. Play a song by Conway, then a song by Loretta & then end it with one of their duets. That would be fun!
Conway Twitty
Country-music star Harold Lloyd Jenkins was offered a contract to play for the Philadelphia Phillies before getting drafted into World War II. Stationed in Japan, he wound up forming a band and joining the local Army baseball team. The former endeavor won a military talent competition, and the band was then attached to the Armed Forces Radio Service in Tokyo. Couldn't find out why they used the military references in this video,,, maybe the song was written when he was in, or by one of the band members...
This song always brings a tear, not only because it's a beautiful song but because that kind of dad is the one I'd always wished I had. Same thing with Holly Dunn's "Daddy's Hands". I've always wondered what it would have been like to have a loving father when I was a kid.
On the ride home from the hospital after my Dad was pronounced dead, this song played, and I lost it. Anything Dad related.. gets me everytime. That is the sign of a great Daddy. !! Thanks for checking Conway out.. love this era of music.
We enjoyed the song too. - Keith
Prayers for you Dad Keith

Check out “your the reason our kids are ugly” by Loretta Lynn feat Conway tweety very hilarious song they’ve got several duets that are awesome
Conway and Loretta just adds to their individual legendary statuses. On that note check out Tre Twitty and Tayla Lynn. Tre doesn't sound like Conway, but has his unique sound and talent, and Tayla has a true hint of Loretta in her voice. Their stage presence together is the same though.

There is a video out there with Conway simply sitting on a stool and singing this song. ua-cam.com/video/CNlfCGxfTFQ/v-deo.html . Also Dustin, Gary Allan would agree with you.. Conway was a legend for a reason. Males aren't the only ones that go through this, as a single mom. There was a fair number of times that I was aware that I needed to make sure I had a back up plan in case they needed to be saved. It's a parent thing. Great reaction.
Thanks Hayley!
A legend in county music. Classic
Appears to be a legend for a reason. - Keith
Conway Twitty rarely made a video and this is not one of them. This is made by a fan. Conway is one of a kind!!
Conway, "The best friend a song ever had".
Conway is the ultimate. Straight up. He's right up there next to Elvis, even used to sing almost identical to him. Multiple genres, 50 number ones, has so many hits that it's just crazy.
He did multiple songs with Loretta Lynn. My favorites are Louisiana woman, Mississippi man and Country Bumpkin.

You're reacting to country music, so much of it will hit you in the feels. And comparing Conway Twitty to Gary Allen is unfair to Gary Allen, since Conway Twitty was an influential legend in Country Music before anyone had ever heard of Gary Allen.
I didn't see a recommendation for this, but he had a #1 hit with "The Games That Daddies Play" that is a good one.
There is a song that Alan Jackson sang that perfectly fits where you guys are with your expanded musical horizon today and aptly called 'Gone Country'.
Dude, this is my first time hearing this song. Wow. . . I'm stunned. I'm incredibly fortunate to still have both my parents, bit they are getting older and the thought of losing either of them scares me. I lived with then until last year when I was 26. I know that's a long time, but I have such an incredible relationship with them. I was paying rent since I graduated college at 22. But the rent was significantly less than an apartment in the denver area. It allowed me to save enough money to purchase my first place. I'm only about 15 minutes from them.
My parents are my best friends. My dad is the hardest working man I've ever known. He worked 3 jobs most of the time I was growing up. But he always had time for me. One of his jobs was doing yard work and I would often go out with him to help. He sacrificed so much for us without ever complaining.
In February I got a call from him in the back of an ambulance on his way to the hospital. He had rolled his car on his way into work at 3am. He needed me to go get my mom and bring her to the hospital. I was in a panic. He could talk much because he needed to call mom. I made it to my parents house in 6 minutes! Thankfully he was OK. Bruses and a concussion, but nothing to severe. But it scared me senseless.
I don't want to think about losing either of them. Great song.
Tight Fitting Jeans is my favorite Conway Twitty song
It's a hit you in the feels song for sure. Conway is an awesome singer. Any of his songs are worth listening to. Linda on my mind is a personal favorite, but that's my Mothers name and I miss her greatly.
For an OG, Patsy Kline 'Crazy', follow it by LeAnn Rimes with 'Blue'.. seriously. LeAnn isn't OG, but the song was written for Patsy.
For a personal "hit in the feels Daddy song", ' Cause he didnt have to be', by Brad Paisley.

Check out a couple of 'sexy songs' of his, like 'I'd love to lay you down' or 'I can tell you've never been this far before'. 'It's only make believe' is probably his biggest hit. 'Hello Darlin' is another goodie.
