Conway Twitty Singles Picture Sleeves
Conway Twitty (Don’t you wish you had that name?), “C’est Ci Bon (It’s So Good)” b/w “Don’t You Dare Let Me Down” MGM K12969 1960 and “Sweet Sorrow” b/w “It’s Driving Me Wild” MGM K13034. 1960? Both sleeves have the same back. All three albums were released in 1959 or 1960.
Conway Twitty started out as rockabilly/rock n roll singer, but moved over to country-western music. Really a good move career-wise, as country singers tend to have much longer “life-spans” on the charts than rock artists. In rock you become a has-been, while in country you are revered as a classic. Though Twitty actually did a lot of pop songs for the country charts such as “Slow Hand” first done by the Pointer Sisters, “The Rose” by Bette Midler, “Heartache Tonight” by the Eagles, and “Three Times a Lady” by Earth Wind and Fire. I suppose that he was looking back to a time when Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and Eddie Arnold would all record the same song and chart with it.
