Harold Lloyd Jenkins — known worldwide as Conway Twitty — was born in Friars Point, Mississippi and raised in Helena, Arkansas, the heart of Delta country. He became one of the most successful country music artists of all time, with more #1 hits on the Billboard country charts than any other artist in history at the time of his death.
Jim Quessenberry cited Conway Twitty alongside Sonny Liston and Johnny Cash as icons who emerged from the same Delta soil he grew up on — proof that the flat, muddy country between the rivers produced something extraordinary.
