In the latter guise Twitty notched up 40 no.1 Country chart hits between 1968-1986, a significant feat and one which ensures that Twitty is well remembered. Through his tenure with MGM (1957-1963) Twitty began as a rock'n'roller with Elvis in his eyes, scored a no.1 with It's Only Make Believe, his first MGM release, was taken up as pop star producing a sequence of rhythm based standards and easing in to 'Countrypolitan' (sophisticated country ballad style). On Looking Back RPM present the cream of the Twitty style for that period, an amalgam of rockin' rhythm and country soul. They come from albums, unreleased sessions, singles A and B-sides - a definitive overview from the complete breadth of Twitty's MGM output.
