40 Years Ago - 1979, I May Never Get to Heaven, Conway Twitty
It's no secret this is my all-time favorite song of Conway's, and it went to the top of the charts 40 years ago yesterday (on my birthday!).
This song was recorded by numerous artists, even Aretha Franklin, but ONLY Conway took it to #1...
35 Years Ago - 1984, Let's Fall To Pieces Together, George Strait
35 Years Ago - 1984, You're Gettin' To Me Again, Jim Glaser
30 Years Ago - 1989, I Wonder Do You Think Of Me, Keith Whitley
The first of two posthumous number ones for Whitley, who died on May 9, 1989.
We hope you enjoyed our choices this week!

Nice playlist
That really was a great playlist, we miss that real country music.
Good memories. I don’t even listen to today’s “country” music.
Melissa & Mudpie,
I remember Tiwtty's #1 hit. George Strait's song I can't say I know. Country mewsic isn't really my thing but as I've said before I have an appreciation for the old sound. Jim Glaser had a nice voice. I'm not sure that I remember 'You're Getting' To Me Again' but I liked it. I do recall Glaser but I'm not super familiar with his mewsic. There seems to be something that he did that I liked but darn if I can't remember. Did you know that he passed away in April? Keith Whitley is new2me but oh my he's been gone along time. Thanks for sharing your choice song picks on the 4M dance floor, my friend. Have a boogietastic week!
Liked them all. Very nice songs.
Great set here! Good luck with your new feature!
Great songs! I recognize some as having been inspiration to the new artists I follow. :) Thanks for the dance - have a great week! :)
Maybe it's just me but the George Strait song is the only one I'd truly classify as country so I guess that would be my fave.
As always, way to go, Conway! And my goodness, it had been years since I heard George Strait. That was a walk down memory lane. Purrs and happy Monday!
Great picks, Mudpie!
Another great playlist, Mudpie!
I was just thinking of you last night. I am reading Randy Travis' memoir and he writes about how Conway chose to let him be the last act instead of COnway, very nice guy.
If you want to know more about Jim Glaser, and the Glaser Brothers, visit my Facebook page "Jim Glaser Fans Forever" where you will find every video available for Jim, hundreds of photos, plus a ton of history on this very great artist. It is my goal to help him receive the recognition he so greatly deserves, and to keep his name and his legacy of music alive.
