Next week’s #1 country single got into the lower reaches of the Hot 100 for Conway Twitty. It was his fifth chart-topper, or sixth if you count his pop #1 “It’s Only Make Believe” in 1958. Despite all of his success, Conway was never a member of the Grand Ole Opry. A glaring omission, but the Opry had a rule that required their members to appear on a given number of the Saturday night radio broadcasts. Some performers just didn’t want to give up those lucrative weekend concert gigs.
