338 Conway Twitty (1933-1993) “It’s Only Make Believe” 1958

Born Harold Jenkins, he made up his stage name from towns in Texas and Arkansas. “I went to Canada. None of the southern-style rock singers had ever been up there…That’s where I wrote ‘It’s Only Make Believe’… So after I’d been with MGM for about eight years, I felt like I had lived long enough and had experienced enough of the things that a country song is all about to compete with the different country singers that I thought were great” (The Country Music Encyclopedia, 1974).
