    There’s still a hole in country music where Keith used to be. His “Tell Lorrie I Love Her” song kinda felt like foreshadowing into his life… My heart broke for Lorrie and their kids when he passed away.

    Keith has the voice that was filtered through the floor of Heaven.

    Keith Whitley sang from every depth of his soul. He was an amazing singer. He left us too soon. Our loss was the angel's gain.

    I have cried, laughed and sang a long to this reaction. My husband couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, as us southerners say. But he would sing karaoke to this song every chance he could. When he was sent home with hospice he got my uncle to bring his karaoke machine over so he could sing it to me one last time, that was 11 years ago. So everytime I hear this song a ton of emotions come back, but I wouldn't change the memories of that song for nothing. Good reaction as always.

      @KimNevelzer ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Kerrie, your post made me cry. My late husband had a beautiful tenor voice and we both loved Keith Whitley. We would dance in the living room and he would sing this as we danced. He passed 7 years ago from esophageal cancer. I can't hear a Keith Whitley song without tears for my Jim. I hope you are doing OK. 🙏

    Keith had so many great songs in his short time with us. He's most definitely missed! Til a Tear Becomes a Rose(duet with Lorrie Morgan), I Wonder Do You Think of Me(released just after his death and went to #1), Ten Feet Away, Brotherly Love(duet with Earl Thomas Conley), Homecoming '63, Miami, My Amy

  • @edithdavis2848

    One of my favorite's by Keith Whitley is "When You Say Nothing At all" I think you will really enjoy it. Although you can't go wrong with anything this man sings.

  • @Nicole_Jewell
    @Nicole_Jewell ปีที่แล้ว +20

    Without a doubt love Keith Whitley's smooth voice. Other songs you need to check out by him is "Tell Lorrie I love her" , " When you say nothing at all" , " Brotherly love" ft. Earl Thomas Conley, "Miami, my Amy", "I'm over you", "Til a tear becomes a rose" ft. Lorrie Morgan, "Homecoming '63" , "Somebody's doin' me right", " I never go around mirrors". Hope you enjoy this list I'll give you more later I'll let you get through these first.

    When he died, his wife Lorrie Morgan wrote and sang a song "Dear Me" which is amazing!

  • @firefighterchick
    @firefighterchick ปีที่แล้ว +9

    He has such a soulful voice!
    Such a sad song. He loves a woman that may never truly love him
    My take is that the man he's referring to may have died and she is having trouble truly letting him go.
    His voice will always remind me of how he left the world far too soon.
    Completely different genres but have you ever heard the song by Kix of the same name?
    It has a completely different meaning as well. 80s metal at its best.

    The first time Vince Gill sang Go Rest High On That Mountain was at Keith's funeral. He wrote the song for his brother but it wasn't completed until he sang it for Keith.

    • @Nicole_Jewell

    Keith Whitley…the epitome of traditional country. The voice! His bio-song “Stranger to the Rain” is mentioned in Vince Gill’s “Rest High on the Mountain”, which was written not only for Vince’s brother, but for Keith as well.
    Only 3 albums before his passing…Keith left a stamp on our lives.

    If you haven’t done so, you should check out his widow’s music. She’s Lorrie Morgan and she’s great too! Two of my favorites by her are “Picture of You/Me” (Forgot the end part in my old age) and “Something in Red”.

  • @ShelbyFarrow
