Conway Twitty was an American singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 1950s with rock-and-roll hits before transitioning to country music in the late 1960s. Over a career spanning more than three decades, he became one of the most successful country artists of his era, known for his smooth baritone voice and heartfelt ballads. He recorded dozens of number-one country singles, including "Hello Darlin'" and "Tight Fittin' Jeans," and frequently collaborated with Loretta Lynn on duets that topped the charts.
