Conway Twitty "The Grandest Lady Of Them All" Single Of The Day

Greetings from Asheville, where good music is on the turntable, and the computer, via the Ultimate Twang show on Asheville Free Media.  Today’s Single Of The Day features the legendary Conway Twitty paying homage to the home of Country music, appropriately titled “The Grandest Lady Of Them All”.

Released by MCA in February, 1976, it didn’t turn out to be one of Conway’s biggest hits, but it still was able to break into the Country 20, peaking at sixteen.  The first part of the year, the nation was putting the final touches on it’s Bicentennial celebration, and the music world wasn’t left out, as several songs along that theme would be heard.  While “The Grandest Lady Of Them All” isn’t about the nation, it still fits in with the spirit of that time, as even by 1976, the Grand Ole Opry had long become an American institution.

Saving vinyl, one record at a time.
