So sad that alcohol took such a talented man so early. Loved his music and how kind of you to return to give him a second tribute. It's always special when a home town boy does good and is then never forgotten! May he rest in peace. Thank you for this special visit!
I truly appreciate this comment.
I love the way you always have so much information about the people you visit. Keith had a great voice and he is missed by many. Thank you for another wonderful tribute and congrats on getting 20K subscribers. I predict it will continue to grow.
Agreed. Very informative and a great narrator.Great work.
I truly appreciate that. Thank you.
Thanks for your kindness.
A very respectful tribute video. Yea, we all have issues. Thank you for reminding everyone to just enjoy Keith's contribution to country music.
I truly appreciate this. Thank you.
You are such a sincere man!!! I love you're kindness youre manners. I'll keep watching!!!!
I truly appreciate that. Thank you so very much.
my wife and I have loved Keith's music since we first heard Don't Close Your Eyes, his loss at an early age was a tragedy much like the legendary Hank Sr demise, all that music left to be sung for the world. Great Vlog Chr
Thank you so much for sharing and for watching.
I’m watching from Santa Barbara California I live his music and Lorie Morgan thank for the video
Keith Whitley was my favorite singer and still is to this day. I wish I could have seen him perform in Grayson when he was doing a benefit after the Prichard school burned down. I was 13 and my Dad wouldn't take me. He said it'd be so packed, you couldn't stir them with a stick 😁. He was right! Grayson is my hometown although I live just a few miles outside of town in Oldtown, Greenup County, KY. Thanks for sharing this video. Good to find someone to watch from my neck of the woods!!!
It’s so great to hear from somebody from my home town! I appreciate you watching. Thanks so much.
What a great story, thank you again for sharing ❤️
Thank you so much for watching.
What a beautiful tribute to Keith Whitley you did a wonderful job. It was so sad his life ending so tragically. You are a wonderful narrator l love to hear you speak you have a special voice that keeps you interested. It must be that Kentucky voice that intrigues me. Keep the videos coming l truly enjoy each and every one.
That is so very kind of you. I greatly appreciate that. That means so much to me.
Thanks for another great story...Fine work as always
Thank you so much!
Awesome video!!! There will never be another Keith Whitley. I was attending Morehead State when he died. I still remember hearing it on the radio. To me, that was the real day the music died. Thankfully, there's many videos of Keith on TH-cam.
Morehead State is not to far from my home. Keith was an amazing performer and singer. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
@@Whittdocs This is the first time I've seen your channel. I'm going to subscribe. Thanks for the work you do.
Keith was between my younger brothers in age. I didn’t know about Keith in the 80s as I was fighting my own battle with alcoholism. I lucked out many times or I would be gone now and especially during the 80s. I have been a George Jones fan since I was 12 years old and grew up with Eddy Arnold, Lefty F., Hank W. Patsy Cline etc. When I first heard Keith singing “Don’t Close Your Eyes” I cried. In some of his songs I could see the despair in his face and behind his eyes the demons that many of us fight the rest of our lives. RIP my fellow traveler that took you from us way too soon.
Love this one, Keith Whittley was a favorite ❤
Thank you so much!
One of my favorites such amazing voice I remember turning up the car radio full blast when he came like Freddy Fender and a few others.
Freddy Fender…. Another classic. Thanks so much for watching.
I love Keith Whitley, absolutely broke my heart when he died.
Yes, his loss was felt very deeply. Thanks for sharing.
Great video mate! I enjoyed this one!! And congrats on wifey!!
Thanks so much, Tim! I appreciate your support.
Keith whitleywas a great singer!
Absolutely. His hometown was not far from me.
Loved him!!
He was wonderful.
I forgot to mention that i sing his songs everyday & i will continue to sing them until i meet Keith in the afterlife.
I was 9 when Keith died & apart of me died that day with him...
Keith Whitley i L♡VE Y♡U & miss ya man.😭
I’m from sandy hook ky my job let’s me speak with people all over the USA and it always amazes me the amount of people recognize out little town due to Keith
It’s amazing how many people still talk about him.
Ricky Skaggs just performed in our town recently but I didn't get to see him
I would love to see him perform.
Love keith whitley
Thank you so much. So do I. Thanks for watching.
Your welcome
If you came back from heaven!....Lori Morgan!....for Keith!
Resting in heavens light love and peace!
Thank you so much for this comment.
So sad.He would have been a Super Star
I fully agree with your comment. Thanks for watching.
For such a short career, he certainly left a permanent mark on country music history! I read that unfortunately Lorrie Morgan blamed herself for his death, as she was on a promotional tour at the time (at the insistence of her agent), and believed if she had been home she could have stopped him from binging on alcohol.
Thank you so much for this comment. I greatly appreciate it.
❤️
My grand mother in law and family are buried not far from Keith.
Thank you for sharing. Neat.
I don't know Whittdoc. I think there are a LOT of FAMOUS SINGERS from Kentucky. There's Loretta Lynn, Bill Monroe, Billy Ray Cyrus, Naomi and Wynonna, etc, etc.... And you did a PROPER PRESENTATION on Keith Whitley. I've got to tell you this story, but you've probably heard it before, if so, please forgive. Supposedly, toward the end of Keith's life, Lorrie would tie their legs together so that every time Keith would get up, she'd have to get up with him. Isn't that sad?!
I have heard that story. Very sad. You’re right, we do have other famous singers from here. The Judds and Billy Ray are from my area also!
Yeah one of the things that's hard for me to overcome is the way I feel about or towards oh forget it 😤💔👎🏿
You know that’s funny. I know his sister
That’s so neat!
Keith Whitley is my favorite singer to me he is the GOAT 🐐.
I miss him so much i play his songs everyday.
When i pass away i want to sing with Keith Whitley in Heaven us two singing to G♡D that is my wish.
He was and still is the best country music singer that ever lived. He is so missed.
Beautiful tribute. When I lived in Nashville I'd go out to see Keith often at Spring Hill, talk to him and play his songs. I am "the little girl who lit the match" that had the bronze statue done by Montana artist Bill Rains that graces the Elliott County Centenary in Sandy Hook, in order for him to 'also be in his beloved hometown for family, friends, and fans.
That is so amazing. Thank you so much for sharing that. That is just up the road a ways from where I live. Thank you so much.
I love his music 🎶 I hope he’s at peace now ❤️
Thank you so much for watching.
Hello 👋 good buddy very good vlog my friend I remember him very well and I still hear his songs on the radio today...I pray that God bless his soul rest in peace he Keith Whitley. I hope and pray 🙏 you are doing well my friend 🙏 take care and God bless you my friend 🙏
I’m doing great. I hope you are well also, David.
Loved his music. From State of Delaware. Thank you I always enjoy videos
I truly appreciate that. Thank you so much.
Excellent video! Also, congrats on 20k subscribers!
Thank you so much!
Lorrie Morgan has married four times since Keith has died. So I doubt her final resting place is there.
Her name is on the stone, but who knows? Thanks for watching.
Hi Chris, I thought I remembered that you already did this video a couple of years ago. Thanks for confirming at the end. I was beginning to think that maybe I was even more senile than usual, lol. :-)
Thanks for watching, Steve. There are a few visits that I made in the infancy of my channel. I just basically showed the gravesite and didn’t say much. So, as my channel has progressed, I wanted to make a few return visits. I love your channel, thanks for all your kindness.
@@Whittdocs I’ve done the same with a couple of my earlier videos too. 😊 thanks Chris and right back at you! 👍
Look up famous people buried in Alabama they are so many famous graves
I would love to!
Loved his music.
I did too. Thanks for watching.
I absolutely loved Keith Whitley. I still listen to his music on a regular basis. Broke my heart when he passed away. Such an amazing voice with such a bright future. Thank you so much for taking us here.
Thank you so much for this comment.
I always loved Keith Whitley's singing. I personally feel he should be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. It is an honor long overdue.
I absolutely agree.
i hope hes at peace now it seems to me he truly had alot of pain inside him that he struggled to deal with
Thank you for this comment.
keith is still missed and i still love his music
I fully agree.
Did Randy Travis and Keith ever meet each other? I've yet to this day hear that they did, not even from Randy. No one in country music that I've ever heard spoke about it. I've wondered this a long time, and with all my research I still yet to hear of it. My guess is they never did, and if they did it was a passing moment not on record anywhere. If they didn't then why?... they both had country albums at the same time in the mid 80's. Both basically at the top in their begginings.
I don't listen to a lot of country music so I'm afraid that I've never heard of him either. Thank you for enlightening me.
I’ve been to his grave several times. You can tell he was loved by all the trinkets that are left at his resting place.
Thank you for your tribute. I’m glad you’ve spent some time in Nashville and have featured country artists. There are plenty of “famous grave” videos that focus on Hollywood and Southern California. The rest of the country has some significant final resting places as well. Your content is very appreciated.
That means a whole lot to me. Thank you so much.
Im FILIPINO AND I'M JUST A COUNTY MUSIC LOVER. EVERYTIME I SANG KEITH'S SONG, I FEL EMOTIONAL 😭💔 AND SOMETIMES I CRIED HIS SONG IS VERY NICE EVER
He was a wonderful singer.
Keith left this world far to early, but what a beautiful voice he had. Hope he found peace🌹. Beautiful tribute 👌
Thank you for this comment.
Look, I get that he made a big impact in Country music, but to hear you talk about what a”great guy” he was, when you also stated that he was a habitual drunk driver? What??? He was a selfish drunk who risked people’s lives so he could swig bourbon and floor it in his car!
I still enjoy your videos, but you are off the mark on this one!
Great guys can suffer from addiction. Thankfully, I’ve never suffered from addiction. But I’ve known several who are wonderful people. Unfortunately, addiction doesn’t respect good people. It becomes a disease. I appreciate your support, but I don’t think we’ll agree on this one.
We all know his story!!!! Thank You for honoring him. He. Made mistakes like we all do. That doesn't mean he wasn't human just becuz he was a singer!!!! I love his songs. Lets keep him Alive. Thank You!!!!!
Great idea and great comment. Thank you!
I live in Nashville and I live close enough to walk to Spring Hill Cemetery. My Morgan grandparents are buried there. I've seen Keith's grave many times. Also, I'm 4th cousins to Lorrie Morgan.
Wow. Thank you for sharing that.
Best voice I'm the genre...ever...man fought the demons..He not only sang but was a great song writer..Gone way to soon...rip
Amazing talent. Thanks so much for watching.
I'm surprised you said there wasn't a lot of fame that came out of your part of Kentucky. Tom T. Hall just passed away. There were three famous members of the Clooney family. The Judd's are from nearby and Butcher Hollow isn't that far away either. Southern Ohio is just across the river, which would be part of your region. Roy Rogers was from nearby on that side. There are also others.
I was born the same year as Keith Whitley and I recall "Wolfman Jack" interviewed him. He was so flattered and humble that Wolfman Jack knew details of him. He was such a pleasant person and such a loss. His style was very close to Lefty Frizzell.
Well, I meant that we don’t churn out the amount of stars like L.A. or New York. You have to be very talented to make it out of Appalachia.
There's a song he sang call, "Birmingham Turnaround" which happens to be my favorite, right along with "Wherever You Are Tonight".
That’s great. Such good songs!
I went to high school in Sandy Hook, Ky. I moved to Sandy Hook in 1997 and then moved in 2006 to Grayson, Ky. I haven't been to Sandy Hook in awhile but I have a brother that lives about 7 miles out of Sandy Hook and another one that passes through there about every 2 weeks or so. There was a restaurant in Sandy Hook called the Frosty Freeze where it was full of Keith Whitley pictures and stuff but it burned in March of this year. I have no idea if any of his pictures were saved or not. I hope they had time to get them out. Before I moved from Sandy Hook I would see Keith's mom Faye all the time. She was a little red headed woman. I had never met her but when my dad passed away she went to his viewing. I guess they must have been friends. I really don't know. Every year I think maybe the 1st weekend in September they have a tobacco festival. They always have a live band and Keith's brother Dwight has sung there before. I don't know if he goes every year or not. I think it would be something to check out. If you haven't been to Sandy Hook don't blink while your driving through town or you will miss everything. lol
Nice. You’re not far from me then! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Hi ! Loved keith Whitley music! To bad his life was cut short. He would have made a great contribution to country music today! As they say, life is too short, so live it up! Or something like that. Demon's are hard to overcome sometimes. Great Video . Stay safe and keep on vlogging! Deborah Canada

God Bless
Thank you so much. Definitely a bad day.

Hello Jamie. I’m glad you’re enjoying. We really enjoy Nashville.
That ready for you to come down here and see this grave next to the Elks
I need to get there!
Keith Whitley was a true Kentucky boy, his voice was amazing. Kentucky has many reasons to be proud from Loretta Lynn, Crystal Gayle, Patty Loveless, Dwight Yokham, Bill Monroe, Ricky Skaggs and Billy Ray Cyrus and many others. Love listening to Keith's music. Sad to have lost him so young.
I love Kentucky!
@@Whittdocs so do I. Born and raised here in Hardin County.
Such an amazing story and he was an awesome singer! Thank you
Thank you so much for commenting.
Thank you for your kind words.. about my cousin Keith..I miss him a great deal
It’s a pleasure. His hometown is right up the road from me.
I don't no this man but Rest In Peace 🕯️🙏
Thank you so much for commenting.
Colorado loves Jesse. Keith
Thank you for watching!
So sad he was so talented it too bad
I fully agree. Thank you for the comment.
YOU DESERVE IT!!!
I truly appreciate that. Thank you.
Good job
Thank you so very much.
I was 10 years old when Keith passed & for the prior Christmas my parents had gotten me my first stereo & my local country station played a beautiful tribute to him, but due to the passing years I can't remember the entirety of it. I remember they played all his hits & also played a couple of Lorrie Morgan's songs as well.
Amazing video as always. I love how you always share & show respect to each & every cemetery & grave you visit. Thank you for allowing us to join you on your adventures.
Congratulations on reaching 20, 000 subscribers. Keep up the amazing job. I love your channel.
I truly appreciate your comment. Thanks so much for all of your support.
I always enjoyed Keith’s music and heard a lot of stories from interviews. A person always wonders might have been if he was still with us today. Thanks for sharing
I wonder too. I believe if he had lived he would be considered one of the greatest of all time.
i can remember my dad playing Keith Whitley country songs many years ago he had a fantastic country voice, never knew he had died though so its nice to see a well respected grave and for you showing your respects Chris in sharing this Cemetery tour vlog, really enjoyed this one and i know the Great Keith Whitley through my dad's music choice although i did still play his songs through TH-cam to remind me of his silky country voice from across the pond in UK
Thank you so much for this comment. I really appreciate your support.
Thank you for visiting Keith Whitley. As far as I'm concerned, he was the greatest of his generation. And gone too soon.
I agree. This guy would have been known as one of the greatest of all time, in my opinion.
@@Whittdocs I was a DJ at the time of his death, and a huge fan. I was at work when I heard the news. I cried all day. Felt like my heart was broken. Just imagine how much great music was left inside him...
His hometown is only about 20-25 minutes from me. There’s a statue there. Maybe I should film that.
@@Whittdocs I'd watch it, for sure! He still has a lot of fans around. He was one of the best, after all.
I fully agree. Just a wonderful voice.
I have to admit to not having heard of this man, but it's so sad that so many celebrities pass from drink or drug related addictions. Thank you for sharing, I have now learned about somebody else 😊
Thank you so much for commenting. I appreciate that so much.
I loved his songs from the very first time that I heard him sing. He was definitely a country music Icon! I really miss him and his music and I still listen to his music.
Thank you so much for this comment.
Thank you for another well researched story . RIP 🙏🌝
I appreciate your comment. Thanks for all the support.
Enjoyed your video! I was really good friends with Keith’s mom Faye and his sister Mary. I always enjoyed hearing their stories about Keith and seeing old pictures of him and Ricky Skaggs when they were younger.
Thank you so much for sharing. His mom actually moved to the town that I lived in at the end of her life. Thank you for watching.
You’re welcome! You must be talking about Grayson, Ky?
My hometown!
I APPRECIAT THAT YOU CALLED KEITH AN ICON.
I fully believe that!
Well there's a lot of celebrities that you overlooked in have never had any intentions on going back saying something about them and that's where we different 😑 but I just can help too LOV""fuck it and forget it 👎🏿
I don’t know why you give me such a hard time. I do the best I can on these videos.
@@Whittdocs you know I'm sitting here grinning from ear to ear you know that's all I wanted was a little attention you know I ain't going nowhere I ain't never going to stop until I get what I want you ever hear the old saying they always bother the person that they like and they want so I look for every little thing that you might have forgot or just didn't get around to and make a big thing out of it I know of my heart you're far from prejudice I know in my heart that you have another job other than posting videos on TH-cam just like you know and your heart Wickedsex got it bad for you so bad that he don't know how to act sometime at the end of the day maybe Lumberjack just need to spank Wickedsex one good time in make him sit in a room & behave himself till you get back home in spank him again LOL LOL as always no disrespect intended New York City USA 🖤💜🤎🤍💙💚💛🧡❤️
You would think the cemetery would clean up around this legends grave. Also throw some grass seed out.
It’s amazing some of the poor conditions that I see sometimes.
I'm going to be strong regardless what this Cameo is doing to me while I'm at work I'm not going to throw in the tower until I get a sincere apology as always no disrespect intended New York City USA 🧡💛🤍💚💙💜🤎🖤
