Conway TwittyConway Twitty

Born September 1, 1933

Died June 5, 1993, aged 59

High of His Life: Born Harold Lloyd Jenkins, Mr. Twitty held the record  for the most number 1 singles of any act, with a whopping 55. It was only a matter of time before someone would top him and that honor went to George Strait in 2006. This twanging country singer received numerous Country Music Association awards and was eventually inducted into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame –and we all know neither matter in the music industry unless you live in the Bible Belt.

Low of His Life: Although it happened after his death, I’m sure Mr. Twitty wouldn’t be happy to be a running gag on Family Guy. Anytime one of the characters needs a distraction, or Seth MacFarlane wants to torture the audience, we get to enjoy (stab our eyes out) an actual live performance of his.

Another low? He chose to make country music. We all know the only decent country music was made by Johnny Cash. And by Johnny Cash, I mean Joaquin Phoenix in Walk the Line. No I’m only kidding…about the last comment. Country music still isn’t real music.

Who Sees Him as a Hero: The creators of Twitter, country artists prior to 1965, Seth MacFarlane, and possibly your mom.
