Ronnie Hawkins found it difficult to get off the ground in the crowded field of rockabillies populating the South. His friend and fellow, more successful rockabill, Conway Twitty, recommended Hawkins and his band move North to Canada where competition was less stiff. It was good advice that Conway Twitty himself didn't need. Twitty released his debut album Conway Twitty Sings in 1958 on MGM Records. (Note: The album is more often said to have been released in 1959, but I'm, personally, just going with what it says on the Conway Twitty website. It's most likely it was recorded in 1958 and released early the next year.)
Here is the discography surrounding Conway Twitty's debut album:
I Need Your Lovin' (1957 single)
