| Slow Hand - Pointer Sisters |
 |
As the midnight moon was drifting through
The lazy sway of the trees
I saw the look in your eyes lookin' into mine
Seeing what you wanted to see
Darlin' don't say a word cause I already
heard
What your body's sayin' to mine
I'm tired of fast moves
I've got a slow groove
On my mind
I want a man with a slow hand
I want a lover with an easy touch
I want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I want somebody who will understand
When it comes to love I want a slow hand
On shadowed ground with no one around
And a blanket of stars in our eyes
We are drifting free, like two lost leaves
On the crazy wind of the night
Darlin' don't say a word 'cause I already
heard
What your body's sayin' to mine
If I want it all night
You say it's alright
We got the time
'Cause I got a man with a slow hand
I got a lover with an easy touch
I found somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I found somebody who will understand
When it comes to love I want a slow hand
If I want it all night
Please say it's alright
It's not a fast move
But a slow groove
On my mind
'Cause I got a man with a slow hand
I got a lover with an easy touch
I found somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I found somebody who will understand
When it comes to love I want a slow hand

Originally a '50s rock & roll singer, Conway
Twitty became the reigning country superstar
of the '70s and '80s, racking up a record 40
number one hits over the course of two
decades. With his deep, resonant down-home
voice, Twitty was one of the smoothest
balladeers to work in Nashville during the
country-pop era, but he was also one of the
most adventurous. More than any other singer,
he was responsible for selling country as an
"adult" music, slipping sexually suggestive
lyrics into his lush productions, yet never
singing misogynist lyrics — by and large,
his songs were sensitive and sensual, which
is part of the reason why he achieved such a
large success. Once Twitty reached the top of
the country charts in the late '60s, he
stayed there for years on end, releasing a
consistent stream of Top Ten hits that both
defined and expanded the limitations of
country-pop by adding subtle R&B, pop, and
rock & roll influences. Though he had some
pop success, Twitty remained country to the
core — occasionally, his song titles were
simply too corny — which was why he
retained his popularity until his death in
1993.
The son of a riverboat captain, Twitty (born
Harold Lloyd Jenkins, September 1, 1933; died
June 5, 1993) was born in Mississippi and
raised in Helena, AR, where he learned to
love not only country, but also blues and
gospel. When he was ten years old, he joined
his first group, the Phillips Country
Ramblers, who occasionally performed on local
radio. Despite his interest in music, he
originally planned to become a professional
baseball player. Jenkins was talented enough
to be offered a contract by the Philadelphia
Phillies, but he was unable to join the team,
since he was drafted into the Army during the
Korean War. While he was serving in the Far
East, he sang with a country band called the
Cimarrons. Returning to America in 1956,
Jenkins still had an open offer to join the
Phillies, yet he decided to pursue a musical
career after he heard Elvis Presley.
With dreams of recording for Sun Records,
Jenkins headed to Memphis, where Sam Phillips
did indeed sign him to a recording contract,
but none of the tracks he cut were ever
released; Jenkins' biggest contribution to
the label was writing "Rock House," a minor
hit for Roy Orbison. Leaving Sun in late
1956, he set out on a rockabilly package
tour, during which he invented the stage name
of Conway Twitty by combining the names of an
Arkansas and Texas city, respectively. At the
beginning of 1957, he signed to Mercury
Records, where he released a handful of
singles that didn't make much of an impact,
though "I Need Your Lovin'" scraped the very
bottom of the pop charts. In 1958, he moved
to MGM Records, where he finally achieved
success with "It's Only Make Believe," a song
he had written with Jack Nance. Recorded with
vocal support by Presley's back group, the
Jordanaires, "It's Only Make Believe" became
a major hit, spending two weeks at number one
and going gold. Over the course of 1959 and
1960, Twitty released a number of singles,
the most popular of which were the Top Ten
"Danny Boy" and "Lonely Blue Boy," and
appeared in the B movies Sex Kittens Go to
College, Platinum High School, and College
Confidential.
Twitty's rock & roll fame arrived suddenly
and it went away just as quickly. By the
beginning of 1961, his singles had stopped
entering the Top 40. Nevertheless, he
continued to tour, but soon MGM dropped him
from their roster. Signing with
ABC-Paramount, he began to add more country
songs to his repertoire, yet he was still
primarily recording pop material. Once Ray
Price took Twitty's "Walk Me to the Door" to
the country Top Ten, Conway decided he wanted
to become a country singer, but he didn't
actively pursue that avenue until 1965, when
he walked out in the middle of a concert at a
New Jersey nightclub. By the end of 1965,
Twitty had begun a collaboration with record
producer Owen Bradley, one of the
cornerstones of the Nashville sound, and had
signed to Decca Records. In the spring of the
following year, he released his first country
single, "Guess My Eyes Were Bigger Than My
Heart," which peaked at number 18. For the
next two years, he had a steady stream of
four minor hits, finally breaking into the
Top Ten with "The Image of Me" in the spring
of 1968, followed a few months later by his
first number one hit, "Next in Line." For the
next four years, he had a string of 12 Top
Five singles for Decca, eight of which —
including "I Love You More Today," "To See My
Angel Cry," "Hello Darlin'," "Fifteen Years
Ago," and "How Much More She Can Stand" —
were number one hits.

BCB Band of Oklahoma City sings "Slow Hand"
by Conway Twitty. This song was also done by
other artist.
Conway Twitty was born Harold Jenkins on
Sept. 1, 1933, in the small town of Friars
Point, Miss. His father, a riverboat pilot,
taught him his first guitar chords when
Conway was just 4 years old. From a black
church in the town, he heard the sounds of
gospel, and every Saturday night the family
gathered around the radio for the Grand Ole
Opry. His family moved to Helena, Ark., when
he was 10, and there he put together his
first band, the Phillips County Ramblers. Two
years later, he had his own local radio show
every Saturday morning. While in Arkansas,
Twitty indulged his second passion --
baseball. He received an offer to play with
the Philadelphia Phillies after high school
but joined the Army instead.
After his discharge from the Army, Twitty
again pursued a music career. After hearing
Elvis Presley's "Mystery Train," he began
writing original rock 'n' roll material. As a
matter of course, he headed for the Sun
Studios in Memphis, Tenn., and worked with
the likes of Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee
Lewis, Johnny Cash and many others. He
changed his name in 1957, taking the names
from two towns in Arkansas. However, Twitty
didn't try rockabilly like some of his
cohorts. Instead, he scored his first hit
with a teen ballad, "It's Only Make Believe,"
on MGM in 1958, making him a teen idol of the
day.
Eight years and three gold records later, he
began his country career with MCA/Decca in
1965, and by the early '70s, he had scored
four straight No. 1 hits including "Hello
Darlin'." Many of them, featuring his
signature growling vocal style, especially
endeared him to female listeners. In 1971, he
released his first hit duet with Loretta
Lynn, "After the Fire Is Gone," followed by
"Lead Me On" in 1971, "Louisiana Woman,
Mississippi Man" in 1973 and "As Soon As I
Hang Up the Phone" in 1974. Together, they
won four consecutive CMA awards for vocal
duo, but Twitty never won a solo CMA award.
Yet, by the end of his tenure at MCA in 1981,
he had accumulated 32 No. 1 hits. Another 15
had reached the Top 5.
In 1982, Twitty moved to Warner Bros. (then
Elektra) and reached No. 1 with remakes of
the Pointer Sisters' "Slow Hand" and Bette
Midler's "The Rose." In 1987, he returned to
MCA, where he co-produced his albums with his
wife, Dee Henry. The hits, such as "Julia"
and "That's My Job" continued.
Twitty became ill while performing in
Branson, Mo., and he died on June 5, 1993,
from an abdominal aneurysm. Shortly before he
died, he had recorded a new album, suitably
called Final Touches. He was inducted into
the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1999.

Christmas Ball. This time though, Harry has a
secret date to meet!
(So okay, ignore the uniforms, ha ha, and
