Conway, who was married four times to three different women, recorded and released his biggest country hit, Hello Darlin' in 1970. The song spent four weeks at the top of the country chart and is one of his most recognized songs.

The veteran singer had a tremendous success in Country music. He was a member of the Country and Rockabilly Halls of Fame.

Though Conway was popular as a Country music singer, he also had success in the rock and roll, rock, R&B, and pop genres.

The Country superstar received a series of Country Music Association awards for duets with Loretta Lynn from 1971 to 1976.

Some of his other notable songs are After the Fire Is Gone, Lead Me On, As Soon As I Hang Up the Phone, and I Can't Love You Enough.
