		In 1957, while touring with a rockabilly package, Twitty and his manager stuck pins in a map and the pairing of a town in Arkansas with another in Texas led to "Conway Twitty", a name as memorable as Elvis Presley.
		Twitty's record sounded much like an Elvis Presley parody, so it was ironic that Peter Sellers should lampoon him as Twit Conway and that he became the model for Conrad Birdie in the musical Bye Bye Birdie.
		Twitty's US Top 10 recording of "Lonely Blue Boy", a song that had been left out of Elvis Presley's film King Creole, led to him naming his band the Lonely Blue Boys, although they subsequently became the Twitty Birds.

		Snippets of Twitty's voice were compiled electronically for a new song.
		Jenkins is pleased with her husband's musical revival, and Norman said Twitty's part — which is only a few lines near the end of the recording — ''sounds natural.'' But, to country artist Vince Gill, the Twitty part does not convey the depth and richness of the Hall of Famer's earthly, earthy voice.
		Stevens is hardly alone in her enthusiasm for the idea, and Cochran said that Twitty's family's approval was the ultimate barometer of the single's good sense and good taste.

		More than any other singer, he was responsible for selling country as an "adult" music, slipping sexually suggestive lyrics into his lush productions, yet never singing misogynist lyrics...
		His name was a play on words, taken from Conrad Birdie, the main character in the play (and later movie) Bye-Bye Birdie and Birdie was a take-off on Elvis.
		Twitty was a legend in country music until his premature death and he deserves his place in the country music hall of fame, not rock and roll.
