His father, a riverboat pilot on the great Mississippi, named him after Harold Lloyd, a great silent-film comedian of the day. Harold renamed himself Conway Twitty and embarked on an unparalleled career, one that spanned the musical worlds of both rock and country. His breakout song, "It's Only Make Believe", came in 1958. Conway's almost overnight success, good looks and charm made him a worthy rival to Elvis. He and Elvis were said to be the twin inspirations for the movie Bye Bye Birdie, which tells the story of a rock-and-roller drafted into the army, which of course, they both were. In his long and storied career, Conway Twitty topped the charts 55 times, including 40 number one hits, making him modern music's most prolific hit maker - more than The Beatles, Frank Sinatra and Elvis. With rare interviews and documentary footage, this DVD takes you behind the scenes of one of the most beloved and popular singers ever to grace the stage of the Grand Old Opry.« less
