Keith is a true legend. We lost him way to soon.
You will also love “No Stranger to the Rain” and “ When you say nothing at all” to complete your 3for3
Every once in a while I get his old cd's out and listen to his one of a kind voice. I'm a rock guy but I loved Keith's stuff. I remember hearing on the radio that he died and it absolutely broke my heart. When I listen to him now I'm both happy and sad because I love his songs but I'm sad that he's gone.
These are the 3 for sure!
I have to add a fourth tell Lorrie I love her
Or, I Never Walk Around Mirrors
I love when someone falls in love with a great country song!!! I think AB has a country soul!!!
Oh yeah he does for sure .. it’s because people don’t realize country is R&B’s cousin !! I’ve always thought that anyways
Beautiful song n lyrics ❤️
Keith, in my opinion, is the greatest country artist of all time.
It’s about her remembering her previous love and he tells her don’t close your eyes so she won’t visualize them instead of him.
This comment is why I wish YT had more than just a thumbs up or down reaction.
If you like this you’ll LOVE Keith Whitley and Alison Krauss ”when you say Noting at all
@@BillHinson I agree although they never recorded the song together. A DJ mixed the two versions, and released it.
Country legend right there. He is saying don't close your eyes and think of someone else when you are with me. Open your eyes and realize that I am best for you and can love you better than the one you are thinking about. He is asking her to move on and give them a try instead. It was a sad sad day when we lost this beautiful artist. His songs are awesome and you need to dig deeper with this one. Love that you recognize his awesomeness. ❤😁
The song you liked by Vince Gill, was originally written about Keith but Vince never finished it until he lost his brother but in the song Go Rest high on that mountain “
I know your life
On earth was troubled
An only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You're no stranger to the rain”
this was for Keith bc he died of alcohol poisoning and Vince loved him. He was a great country singer. Of all of Keith’s song this is my very favorite
This is mainly for AB and anyone else that doesn't know this. I'm just going to add, in No Stranger To The Rain, there is a line, "I fought with the devil." Vince started writing Go Rest High, while sitting in the pew at Keith's funeral.
I’m no stranger to the rain by Keith was written by my friend’s dad Sonny Curtis.. Keith Whitley would have been top 5 country artist of all time had he not died to alcoholism in the 80’s.. no one has a better voice than him ..He was married to Lori Morgan who was also a famous country singer and drop dead gorgeous!! My dad had the hots for her but me and mom had the hots for him !! Lol 😂 #homelife ..
My favorite song from him too!!
Funny you said “hall of fame”- KW is actually the latest inductee to the country music hall of fame. Should have happened decades ago, he’s nothing short of a legend. Died so young before his career even started good, imagine all the fantastic music he would have made in the last 30 plus years!
you have to listen to -when you say nothing at all by Keith and -till each tear you cry becomes a rose with him and his wife Lorrie. 👍👍👍
He was definitely lost to soon,,R.I.P.
Keith loved but never forgotten 💔 ❤️
It's about his lady still not over a love from the past. This was my late wife's favorite song. Its the last song we ever danced to. Keith was gone entirely too soon
Some favorite Keith Whitley songs
1. Tell Lorrie I love her
2. I'm over you
3. I'm no stranger to the rain
4. Ten feet away
5. Talk to me Texas
6. Miami, my Amy
7. It aint nothin
8. Somebodys doin' me right
9. When you say nothing at all
i’m no stranger to the rain by keith, great one
"When You Say Nothing At All" is my other favorite song of his.
Some people will also say they like "I'm No Stranger to the Rain" and "Tell Lori I Love Her".
My all time favorite song from Keith! We lost him way too soon ❤
R.I. P. Keith one of the more pure country voices. But his life was to short.Thank you for the music you left us .
Brings tears to my eyes every time.... what a loss to Country and the world.
Another great song by Keith is When You Say Nothing At All
Also he did a song When u say nothing at all and Allison Kraus redid it and then combined it w him after he had passed .. which brings me to react to that and a must see must watch one of the best if not best country videos ever is Allison Krause and Brad Paisley Whiskey Lullaby !!! Just about every reactor has reacted to that one and I’m dying for u to do it cause you’re my fav !! Please ❤
A disk jockey did the remix combining Allison's and Keith's versions to play at his station. Obviously, the remix caught on and went viral. I believe I have that version posted on my channel.
"When You Say Nothing At All", "Ten Feet Away", "I'm No Stranger To the Rain", "Homecoming '63", "I'm Over You", "Nobody's In His Right Mind Would've Left Her", "Miami, My Amy", "Till A Tear Becomes A Rose", and "Tell Lorrie I Love Her", are awesome by Keith Whitley
Keith is one of the two people that Vince Gill wrote “Go Rest High on That Mountain” for. RIP Keith Whitley. A true Country Legend lost WAY Too Soon! Great Reaction!
The song that put Keith in the business. I was there for the video shoot. I played with Keith for 8 years. You should check out 'When You Say Nothing At All' and I'm No Stranger To The Rain'. He's in the Hall of Fame for a reson.
"Don't close your eyes, let it be me." Simple and beautiful. There is no need for a fantasy or a imaginary lover when there is something true and real looking back at you.
He is another country artist from Kentucky.Thanks for reviewing him.RIP!
If you want more of Keith Whitley (1955-1989 [R.I.P.]) then try "When You Say Nothing At All," "I'm No Stranger To The Rain," "Miami, My Amy," "Til A Tear Drop Becomes A Roes," "Brother Jukebox."
There's an eerie song by Keith Whitley called "Tell Lorrie I Love Her".
It was a song recording found after his death. Lori was his wife who was on tour when he passed from alcoholism. It sounded like a raw recording that he done himself in the living room, because you can faintly hear the TV in the background.
@ABtheKreator
As mentioned earlier, Keith Whitley was a generational talent that we lost way to soon.
Lost himself to depression and alcoholism.
The song " Go Rest High on that Mountain" that you reviewed a few weeks ago was written partially in tribute to him...
Give his other song "I'm no stranger to the rain" a listen too, and 'Tell Lori I Love Her', that was a demo he recorded right before his death in the late 80s.
I was working the CMA (Country Music Awards) as a seat filler, yes they had people sit in seats of artists that was getting ready to perform but we would sit in their seats for cameras so it would not look EMPTY in ANY seats in camera view. But I had the pleasure of sitting beside this man (whom I never knew at the time) but he was the nicest man I had ever met and then the next day he was dead of DRUG OD, I was shocked...
The story songs that country portrays is the reason they have such a strong base. AB is enjoying the best the genre has to offer
One of my Favorites from Keith Whitley is "Brotherly Love" with Earl Thomas Conley Beautiful Song
This guy has a amazing voice!
You have discovered the first love of my life. I was about seven, and decided that I was in love with Keith Whitley. I was devastated when he died. I grieved so hard.
The first verse in "Go Rest High on that Mountain" by Vince Gill was written about him and his death.
The lines "You weren't afraid to face the devil. You were no stranger to the rain." was a reference to Keith Whitley's song called "I'm No Stranger to the Rain".
A voice so unique it is beyond compare !!
You are going to love this song! eta 32 seconds in and he's in the Hall of Fame!
To add to Texas Magnolia, Keith was married to Lori Morgan, the daughter of a country legend George Morgan. Lori is a star in her own right, you should check out "You Got 5 Minuets " and "Something in Red". You do great country reactions, thank you.
I still can't believe that he had already died before the first time I saw him sing his first hit "I'm No Stranger to the Rain."
Keith Whitley does not sing, he emotes. That's what brings you in. He makes you feel it.
One of the best voices in country.
R.I.P Keith Whitley. 80s baby here, born and raised on this generation of country music
Keith does not have a bad song his voice was unbelievable and we lost a great person way to soon.
Man this Guy was one of the Greatest and we lost him way to soon
Keith lived about 45 minutes from me in eastern Kentucky...he is still missed.
Listen to Keith Whitley's widow, Lorrie Morgan's song, "Dear Me". She released it after he passed away.
Rip Keith Whitley!! What a great artist gone too soon!!
Although his life was cut short, he will probably go down as one of the very best to ever sing in country music.
Great job reacting to this incredible song and singer ❤️🥀💜💐💙🌹 Hall of Fame 👍
Such a true and beautiful voice. Keith was lost too soon.
“When you say nothing at all”is my all time fav. His voice was so clean. Lost him way too soon for sure. RIP
Tell Lori I Love Her. He wrote this song about her. He had a rough cut of it, but died before he could do a full studio recording. He was an alcoholic and that’s what killed him. He was singing about Lori Morgan who is also a legend in Country music. She then cut a song about him called A Picture of Me Without You. Please check those out in a double video! Love your reactions.
LOVE LOVE this song! Classic 👏🏼😍 RIP Keith
Thx for introducing Keith Whitley. I do luv his voice!🥰
I love how you are open to hearing different music. You find there are a lot of songs that are worth listening to. Keith Whitley is a favorite that we lost too soon. I love your comments and that you give each song a chance. Keep up your good work.
The best friend I ever had would travel locally to perform at various venues, and he loved this song. Five years ago, on Valentine's Day, he left this song on my voicemail. I lost him in 2020 to colon cancer.... I have never, and will never, delete it. It gets transferred whenever I get a new phone.
Love you Stan, remember that you owe me a dance....
I'm sorry for your loss ❤️
@@ABtheKreator 😢 Thank You
I had three uncles that were in a band, they used to do this song. We had a family friend who was kind of 'special', he liked to get on stage and sing that song with them but they would turn down his mic. But he felt like a Rockstar on stage. R,I,P, Breeze 🤟
Keith whitley is the greatest singer of all time and that's all genres of music,period!drops the mic and walks away
I love how you love music. If there were one song of Keith Whitley's to hear, this is the one. Epic.
Thanks for all the great comments on this song folks, it's good to know that people still listen to the old songs. I always think, that when we finally get called to go through that pearly gate, we're gonna have one hell of a concert, because that's where all the great country singers are. Can you imagine the jam sessions up there? It would be like Sue Brewers Boars nest on steroids.
One of the biggest Legends right there.... never made a bad song there all great
The best voice country music ever produced ❤️
I love when you react to a true country legend. You always make my day. Keep it up!!!
Love this song. The song was just before he died.
Aaron Tippin- 1 , Blue Angel ♥️ 2, You Got To Stand For Something ♥️ 3, Ain’t Nothing Wrong With The Radio ♥️
One of the greatest voices ever ❤
So AB, just stumbled across you a few days ago. I’ve become a fan. So this has probably already been said, Keith was a treasure who died way way too soon of alcohol poisoning. The first video of your’s that I saw was your reaction to Vince Gill’s go rest high on that mountain. Vince started writing that song following Keith’s death, but didn’t finish it until a few years later when his brother died. Just to tie things together for those who don’t know. Country is an amazing genre of music (although personally I’m not a fan of most newer stuff) but it doesn’t matter what your going through in life, there is a song or verse or just a lyric that you will be able to relate to. As for a recommendation, and forgive me, like I said, I just found this channel, so you may have already covered him, give Clint Black’s version of desperado (originally done by the Eagles) a listen. Keep the great videos coming.
I agree with Clint Black.
We lost him way too soon, due to alcoholism, but yes, he was a legend. God love him. He had his struggles.
Thank you thank you for doing Keith!!!
Oh, Keith Whitley will always be remembered he died to young
Man where have you been I'm a 56 year old white woman from North Ga. I love your reactions to artists your never heard it's great but my question is a lot of them have been around for year's cracking out hits . I would love to know what you grew up listening to maybe you could turn the table let us react to your music because I'm sure there will be a lot of us that don't have a clue. Lol
Miami My Amy is another great hit of Keith's. He is a legend!
Keith had one of the most quintessential country male voices ever. Such a catchy chorus on this one. Great Royals shirt as well
He has several great songs: "When you say nothing at all" "Brotherly Love" with Earl Thomas Conley "New Kid in Town" " Miami, My Amy"
My fav is called 'When you say nothing at all'. Tragically he passed away at age 35. At the time he was married to a country singer named Lorrie Morgan. She also has a great voice & is a beauty. Check out her song 'Something in red'. Sexy!
Best country voice of all time.
I would recommend "I'm No Stranger To The Rain" and "When You Say Nothing At All"
If you could create the perfect voice for country music in a lab, Keith Whitley is what would come out.
Thanks for the genuine joy and pleasure you show us when you react! You’re not faking your happiness with these vocalists.
Please give a listen to Brett Young, “Mercy” and “In Case You Didn’t Know.” You will live them!
Love the reaction brother, dudes voice is amazing. This is hands down my favorite country song.
Keith was a legend who was taken from us too soon. I love this one and Every Light In The House is On and When You Say Nothin At All( after you do this one go check out Alison Krause’s version it’s epic too)
One of the most beautiful voices. I loved him.
The grand ole opera has a hall of fame online .. look it up he will be looking back at you - old school days !
He's one of the best of all time
Please react to "When you say nothing at all" been mine and my husband's song for 15 years now. Also try "Somebody's doing me right" Keith whitley was a legend!
Keith is for sure a country legend that we lost way too soon. He was only 33 years old and died in 1989 to alcohol poison. If you liked this one by Keith there's a lot more I can suggest by him I know you will love. For example " When you say nothing at all", " I'm no stranger to the rain" , " I'm over you", "Miami , My Amy" to name a few
Til a tear becomes a rose with Lorrie Morgan is one of my favorites.
Vince Gill started writing go.rest high on the mountain after Keith passed and finished writing it when his brother died.
I love this song
Finally did some ole Keeffff Whitley
He is my all time fave!!!
I think you’d like “I’m no Stranger to the rain” by him.
He can SANG!!!❤️❤️❤️
I love this masterpiece
Especially his master piece voice
And as always, Awesome Reaction ABthekreator
Have you ever heard Charlie Pride? He was a black country singer.
He was one of the best out there . Love him so much.
We lost him to the Virus
RIP Keith. You need to react to his wife Lori Morgan’s song “Something In Red”, it’s such a beautiful song and her voice is amazing.
Your choice of baseball teams is spectacular. 💙💙💙
Keith Whitley died in 1990 of alcohol poisoning Don't Close Your Eyes was one of his last songs that he recorded and made a video for said song he died a month later
Its a song about loving a woman, who is with you physically but in love with another.
Some good old school. Go Chiefs!! Peace, Love!!
Smooth smooth voice! Now check out the Statler Brothers, Bed of Roses.😊
He is with this woman that can't forget her former love, and he wants her to see only him.
Gotta check out I'm no stranger to the rain, he was a great country singer but loved that shine liquor and eventually died from bad shine,
Keith had a huge impact for how short his career was.. I could be wrong, but I think I read that his professional career only spanned 4 years. And he had quite a few hit songs on the few albums that he did put out.
He wrote and recorded "Tell Lori I Love Her" at his kitchen table and died shortly after. He knew he was on his way out.
You have the wrong information. Whitley did record that song at his home. However, he only did that because he needed a rough cut of it for his friend, Curtis Young, to learn the song to sing at Whitley’s wedding to Lorrie Morgan. Whitley passed about four years after the recording. Whitley did not know he was “on his way out.” On the morning of his passing, he had coffee with his brother-in-law and had a full day planned, including golfing. His BIL left briefly, returning an hour later, to pick Whitley up, and found him unresponsive. He stated when he left, Whitley appeared sober and in good spirits. However, toxicology reports showed Whitley’s BAC was 0.47. The man was an alcoholic and, I’m sure, was struggling with his own personal issues. That doesn’t mean he purposely or willfully ended his life.
Also, the title is “Tell LORRIE I Love Her”.
