Top 10 Earl Thomas Conley Songs
Earl Thomas Conley left a legacy for those who value intricately crafted songs, deft collaborations and a commitment to simple, sincere love ballads in country music. The country star broke onto the scene in the early 1980s, and quickly established himself as a hitmaker with back-to-back chart-toppers, amassing enough hits to put out his first Greatest Hits album just five years after releasing his major-label debut.
Conley collaborated with a host of songwriters and fellow artists throughout his career, and inspired a younger generation of new stars. Among those younger artists is Blake Shelton, who, along with Conley and songwriter Michael Pyle, co-wrote "All Over Me," a song that Shelton went on to release as the second single off of his debut album.
