Stage Name
Allegedly, in 1957, Harold Jenkins decided that his real name was not memorable enough and sought a better show business name. In The Billboard Book of Number One Hits Fred Bronson states that the singer was looking at a road map when he spotted Conway Arkansas, and Twitty Texas, and chose the name Conway Twitty. He also considered "BaldKnob" as a stage name but personally I am glad he chose Conway Twitty.
