They all said Conley had an influence on there careers and lives many knew him as a friend. Blake Shelton said it was a sad day to here that such a great icon is no longer with us. In 1986, Conley became the first-and-only country artist to appear on an episode of “Soul Train.” That was thanks to his duet, “Too Many Times,” with singer Anita Pointer of the Pointer Sisters. The song reached number two on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart and number three the Canadian country chart.
