- Originally planned to break into professional baseball with a Philadelphia Phillies farm team, but the US Army drafted him before the Phillies could.
- Among the most successful country performers of all time. Depending on the source, Twitty has scored anywhere from 41 (Billboard magazine) to 53 #1 singles on the country and rock charts.
- His first and last #1 hits of the 1970s both used the phrase "Hello Darlin'" in either the song title or lyrics. "Hello Darlin'" (1970) started the string in 1970, while "Happy Birthday, Darlin'" (1979) brought that successful decade for him to an end; both are counted among his biggest hits.
- His name came from combining the names of the towns of Conway, Arkansas and Twitty, Texas.
- Lampooned regularly on Uma Família da Pesada (1999).
- [on the secret to his successful singing career] I say things that women want to hear--things that men have trouble saying.
- [about Sam Phillips, owner of the legendary record label Sun Records] He knew what he wanted to hear, and everybody that walked into his studio--no matter what kind of music you sang--he'd push you in a certain direction, toward something that he wanted to hear.
