Conway Twitty is a country singer. It is the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame Rap singers don't belong either. If the name is changed to the Music Hall Of Fame then okay but as long as it is the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame only Rock and Roll bands should be there.

Mike -

The Hall, from the very beginning, has been less about honoring the narrow definition of Rock as guitar-driven pop songs sung by white men and more about honoring a shared lineage of music that can trace its stylistic roots back to the original rock and roll/blues artists of the 40s and 50s. That includes rock, it includes pop, it includes metal, it includes R&B, it includes country to some extent, and yes, it includes hip hop, not to mention the many sub genres that blur the lines between them. Genre is fluid and changes with the culture.

I think Conway Twitty deserves to be in the hall of fame after all he started out as a rock n roll singer . Everyone loved him just as much as when he sang Country. He was great at both and deserves it .


Would help to get a petition with as many names as you tell us , we'll get them.

Thank You

They're jealous of Conway in both Rock n roll and country elites. He was never voted entertainer of the year with ALL his successes.

Dolly Partin is in the rock n roll hall of fame, but Conway is not??? Conway had as much to with Rock n roll as many and more than others in it.

I don't think the person whom said Conway basically ain't rock as he is as much as Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis and Ricky Nelson what it is is that he was so successful in country music that others whom don't have their facts straight don't know what the truth is and that is partially the problem and the fact that even his fans and family aren't trying hard enough as Elvis fans and other fans to get it done that is why I am writing this Conway twitty is in the rockabilly hall of fame but it still isn't enough after all he started there but truth is his real success started in 1958 and that was in rock and roll years as rockabilly was over by then in general and his fortunes came in rock and roll and he was a heart throb and on American bandstand and anyone whom thinks he don't deserve recognition is lying only to themselves I hope truth will win out and this rocker deserves this much more then dolly parton I mean if vanilla ice went country would we say ice ice baby wasn't rap and that vanilla ice don't deserve to be in a rap hall of fame I mean let's look at the facts
