<p> DIED. CONWAY TWITTY, 59, country music singer; in Springfield,
Missouri. His given name was Harold Jenkins, and he started
off as a rock 'n' roller. He wasn't the handsomest guy in the
world, and he didn't have the greatest voice. Nonetheless Conway
Twitty became one of the most popular country stars ever and
a canny manager of his career. His lyrics said the things women
want to hear and men wish they could say. His hits included
It's Only Make Believe, Hello Darlin' and numerous duets with
Loretta Lynn. "It's 99% the song, not what I do," Twitty once
said. He played the percentages and came out a winner.
