C'mon gals, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

It's that deep soulful toe-curling growl that some men just instinctively know how to weave into songs.

Conway Twitty had it.

Kenny Rogers has it.

Jeff Bates has it.

Mark Miller has it.

Josh Turner has it.

Even the young Blaine Larsen has it.

It's that sexy guttural sound that makes a woman weak in the knees and unable to utter anything but a honey sweet moan of pure lusty desire.

Ladies, this hub's for you. Gentlemen, I'd take notes (and singing lessons!) if I were you!

Thank you Habee. Meeee toooooo!

Holle Abee from Georgia on November 04, 2009:

I love Josh Turner's and Kenny Roger's voices. Great hub!

KRC (author) from Central Texas on October 24, 2009:

:) They all are!

Men101 on October 24, 2009:

Ooh I am adding Josh to my list of sexy male country singers.

KRC (author) from Central Texas on May 25, 2009:

Those are some greats, aren't they? You're right, music isn't quite the same. I'm sorry to hear that you dropped from the challenge, but I support your decision to do so and I know from reading the forums that it has been a relief to you.

I for one, have been enjoying the challenge and 22 hubs later, I feel like I've put out some of my best work to date. I've doubled my readership from HubPages and outside sources and I've managed to hit a personal hubber score of 100 both of the last two days. So, I'm pleased with the results. My goal was 30 in 30, but I think I need something like 5 more over that to hit 100 hubs. So, I'm really planning to do that.

Thanks for your support AEvans!

Julianna from SomeWhere Out There on May 25, 2009:

This is a great hub, my mom brought all of us up on Conway Twitty and Kenny Rogers, music today is not like it was yesterday. Great work!! I dropped from the challenge but I will certainly support those who are still in it. :)

KRC (author) from Central Texas on May 15, 2009:

"The Walk" is a great song, isn't it, Amy? I'm not real fond of the characters in it, they're kind of cheesy....but I do like the black and white and a lot of the angles of the shots. The music is wonderful. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by and congrats on being this past week's featured hubber!

Amy G on May 15, 2009:

Ahhh...Sawyer Brown. Everytime I hear "The Walk" I cry. It's been years since I saw the video - thanks!

KRC (author) from Central Texas on May 15, 2009:

Thank you Alekhouse! I had lots of fun compiling it. I heard Conway on the radio yesterday and that's the inspiration for this hub. Glad you enjoyed it!

Ron: Yes, I like Country music....but I love all sorts of music. I can sing along with just as many songs off my daughter's pop station. Music's just a part of me. I'm actually working on a hub about that as well.

Thanks for stopping by!

rongould on May 15, 2009:

I'm sensing you also like Country & Western music, right? Really good hub about a bunch of stars, past and present.

Nancy Hinchliff from Essex Junction, Vermont on May 15, 2009:

What an enjoyable, fun hub. Read the whole thing. And I must say, your right about the "growl" thang.

Laughing Mom on May 14, 2009:

My mother-in-law got suckered into dancing with RO once. She said the smell was overwhelming. Apparently, bathing wasn't big on the tour.

I'm off to bed. All this growl talk has me tired.

Susan Reid from Where Left is Right, CA on May 14, 2009:

Roy Orbison had sort of a growl thing he could do, too. But he lacked the sex appeal of these hotsters!

KRC (author) from Central Texas on May 14, 2009:

I fixed the two videos that had embedding issues. Hopefully, they all play.

I do get it, MM! Twitty was sooooooo good.

Cindyvine! You have been sorely deprived!

Thanks ladies for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed it! I sure did!

Laughing Mom on May 14, 2009:

ha ha, MM. I get it!

Cindy Vine from Cape Town on May 14, 2009:

have heard of Conway and Kenny but none of the others

Susan Reid from Where Left is Right, CA on May 14, 2009:

Dang, girl! I'm all a twitty now (get it?)!

Laughing Mom on May 14, 2009:

You're doing great, KCC! You're right. The 'growl thang' has a certain....appeal....to it, even if it's not in song.

KRC (author) from Central Texas on May 14, 2009:

I'll check on it. I watched all of them before loading them. Thanks for letting me know!

Laughing Mom on May 14, 2009:

I love 'The Walk' by Sawyer Brown! 'All These Years' is another good one by them. and 'How Do You Get That Lonely' is such a sad song, but I love listening to it. Jeff Bates voice doesn't match his face. At least when he's talking at the beginning of 'Long Slow Kisses'.

A couple of the videos aren't working. You might check them.
