Origin of Jenkins Stage Name--------- Jenkins felt that his real name wasn't marketable, and he changed his show business name in 1957. (Harold Lloyd Jenkins would always remain his legal name, however). Looking at a road map, he spotted Conway, Arkansas and Twitty, Texas. Thus, he went with the professional name of "Conway Twitty".[citation needed]
Alternatively, Jenkins met a Richmond, VA, man named W. Conway Twitty Jr. through Jenkins' manager in a New York City restaurant. The manager served in the army with the real Conway Twitty. Later, the manager suggested to Jenkins that he take the name as his stage name because it had a ring to it. The Richmond Conway Twitty subsequently recorded the song, "What's in a Name But Trouble," in the mid-1960s, lamenting the loss of his name to Jenkins. The flip side of the 45 RPM record was "The Purple, Purple People Eater, Eater." (The more well known version of Purple People Eater, however, now having sold over 100,000,000 copies, was recorded by Sheb Wooley.)
I'm Not Through Loving You Yet
Conway Twitty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You came to me and you threw me, with a simple goodbye
I begged your forgiveness, but you won't even try
You just say that it's all over, that you'll soon forget
But I still remember, I'm not through loving you yet
[Chorus: x2]
No I'm not through, loving you
That we made come true
Now you're tired of trying and soon I'll regret
That I couldn't hold you
I'm not through loving you yet
