Conway Twitty on Pop! Goes the Country

I seldom update the Conway Twitty blog page because I feel as if I've said all that there is to say in the blogs I've already written. However, for those who get the RFD-TV channel, a 1978 episode of Pop! Goes the Country will be airing early Saturday morning March 20th at 2:30am Eastern time and it'll re-run again on Monday March 22 at 11:30am Eastern time. It already aired today at 4:30pm and so you'll have two more chances to catch the episode, or at least, tape it. The show is hosted by Ralph Emery, for those not familiar with the program. The other guest is Jody Miller. Conway sings "Georgia Keeps Pulling On My Ring" and "The Grandest Lady of Them All". The latter is a song about the Grand Ole Opry and the way it's presented on the show is not to be missed. Conway Twitty amassed 55 #1 hits during his music career. 41 of those chart-toppers were obtained on Billboard magazine while the other 14 are credited to the other music charts that were once in publication.

  1. @Anonymous: I hardly, if ever, post messages from those who give out their e-mail address in their comment and so I'm responding this way. There is a DVD store on-line that sells copies of Pop! Goes the Country and their site is called: Classic Country DVD.

    You can Google the store's name and it'll come up in the search results.

    Conway episodes appear on Volumes 3, 5, 8, and 11. It's the Volume 11 DVD that features the 1978 episode I wrote about in this blog entry. Each DVD features multiple episodes and so a customer will be getting a lot of other episodes in addition to the ones with Conway. They're all reasonably priced, too.
