A legend in his own right, Conway reflects on fame, family, and the heart behind the hits.
In 1991, just two years before his sudden passing, Conway Twitty sat down with Canadian music journalist Bill Welychka for a rare, thoughtful interview that offered fans something far more intimate than the usual industry soundbites. At this stage in his career, Conway was already a towering figure in country music—with over 50 #1 hits, countless awards, and a loyal fanbase that had followed him from his early rock ‘n’ roll days into country superstardom.
But in this conversation, we don’t just see the hitmaker. We see the man behind the music.
With humility and candor, Conway talks about what it really takes to stay on top in such a demanding industry—the long nights, the sacrifices, the shifting tides of musical trends, and the deeper challenge of staying true to your sound while the world around you changes. He credits his success not just to talent, but to hard work, constant reinvention, and respect for the audience.
Welychka’s questions bring out something special in Conway—a calm, confident wisdom earned over decades on the road. He shares insights about his creative process, his views on fame, and even his reflections on family and how personal values shaped his career choices.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering him anew, this interview offers a rare chance to hear Conway Twitty in his own words—unfiltered, sincere, and remarkably grounded. It’s a powerful reminder that behind every great song is a life fully lived.
