"It's Drivin' Me Wild" by Conway Twitty

Before going country in 1965, Conway Twitty was at the forefront of rock and roll and rockabilly. He scored big with hits like the #1 smash from 1958, "It's Only Make Believe," as well as "Danny Boy" (#10) and "Lonely Blue Boy" (#6).

Twitty would go on to dominate the country charts until his death by an aneurysm in 1993 at the age of 59. He scored 40 #1 hits on the country charts. He occasionally crossed back over to the Top 100 with songs like "You've Never Been This Far Before," which reached #22 in 1973. His final Top 100 appearance was in 1976 when "Don't Cry Joni" peaked at #63--the song featured his daughter Joni Lee on guest vocals.

"It's Drivin' Me Wild" goes back to his early rock roots.
