A glimpse into the private world of a country legend—where music, family, and Southern charm built a kingdom.
In the glittering world of the 1980s, where excess met elegance and fame was wrapped in velvet ropes, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous gave viewers a weekly look into the mansions and moneyed lives of celebrities. But few segments struck the emotional chord of the episode that took fans behind the gates of Twitty City, the famed home of country music icon Conway Twitty.
With Robin Leach’s iconic narration guiding the way, the episode offered a rare and intimate look at Conway’s life offstage—not as the superstar with chart-topping hits like “Hello Darlin’” and “You’ve Never Been This Far Before,” but as a devoted father, businessman, and humble Southern gentleman who built Twitty City not just as a home, but as a haven for family and fans alike.
Set in Hendersonville, Tennessee, Twitty City was more than just a mansion—it was a full-blown country music landmark. Sprawling gardens, Christmas lights year-round, a chapel, a gift shop, and even residences for his children—it all stood as a reflection of Conway’s generous spirit and deep-rooted values. While some stars flaunted their wealth, Conway opened his doors with quiet pride and southern hospitality.
In his candid interview with Leach, Conway spoke about the real joys in his life—raising his children, connecting with his fans, and staying true to the values that made him who he was. Dressed sharp but comfortable, Conway walked the grounds with grace, offering stories and memories that painted a fuller picture of the man behind the voice.
The episode remains a cherished time capsule, capturing a moment when country music royalty lived not in castles, but in places like Twitty City—where guitars hung on the walls, family sat around the table, and fans were always welcome.
Today, that segment serves as both a nostalgic look back and a loving tribute to one of country music’s most genuine legends. Because for Conway Twitty, riches weren’t found in gold or glamour—they were found in faith, family, and a life well sung.
