I feel like he's pretty underrated in the grand scheme of things, had a lot of great songs.

Friday Night Blues

John Conlee quietly had seven number one hits in the 80s.

I’m a big fan. I’ two stepped a many a pair of panties off to his tunes back in my bar hopping days.

Obviously dont know him personally but he seems like a regular, down to earth guy too.

Saw him at the Opry last year, better live singer than many of these new people.

Used to listen to him late 70s, early 80s.

I was On the Backside of Twenty at time, later the Backside of Thirty. I've since quit counting.

John Conlee was a licensed mortician before a country singer. Talk about a 180 in careers.

Love his music.

This line especially from Domestic Life:

Our neighbor's names are Fred and Ruth
He wears a lot of leisure suits
She sells Avon and Tupperware too
We're always ducking all the bull they shoot




It's amazing how much things change they stay the same.

Surprised "Miss Emily's Picture" hasn't been mentioned.

Also, I really like his cover of Ralph Stanleys "Could You Love Me One More Time". It's a hidden track on his Classics album after Miss Emily's Picture. His voice is perfect for it and he should have released it as a single. YT
