that's probably all that there is to know; besides being a long closeted gay man who started his singing career in the country music genre before switching the pop like a 1960's male version of taylor swift. lol

What makes us say he was a "long closeted gay man"? Other than rocking the same haircut as Liberace

this comment seems to imply that twitty never came out of the closet; for the record, he did.

Can you cite a source for this? I cannot find any reference to Conway Twitty ever coming out as gay.

I don't even know if it's actually his quote, but really nails it

When i ask Google's lying machine it doesn't give a source and just says it's paraphrasing Marx

And that he's black or white depending on the picture

[–] PartyAt15thAndSummit@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

It is a black-and-white picture, after all.

Very white when I looked him up, but he fooled me with this picture.
