In 100 years when our grand kids are telling stories about what it was like to live in a free country, I think one thing that will remain the same will be Kieth Whitley will still be known as one of the greatest country artists ever known.
whoever gave this a thumbs down wouldn't know talent if it bit them in the ass. This is the greatest singer ever in my opinion. Long live the legacy of Keith Whitley.
They need to go through and find all these old recordings that made in on records and make a cd of them. Too damn many keith Whitley songs people are missing out on!
An amazing singer I met when he was only 16 and I knew that the minute I heard him sing ! A tradgedy and so many people could have helped him but didn't . GLORIA JEAN
@@undergroundunlimited2282 I couldn’t agree with you more. He just died so young, I think about all of the music he never got to do. “I never go around mirrors “ is actual artwork by Keith. Not certain if he wrote it, but again, so believable
The best…the lyrics that man poured into his music. Can tell he was hurtin! Can’t help but think what that man could of accomplished with just even another 5-10 years on this planet!
We need more song like this one. It tell we are all human and we all have troubles from the high money to the no money. So just remember we all have troubles but sometimes listening or sharing might help you or another to make a silver lining out of a thunder storm. God bless and hope you have a great day!
Losing this guy was tragic. When I was in high school I didn’t listen to him much, but I found myself appreciating his music more when I got to college..
Not only does this song touch my heart but it's a picture of who I am I'm a very bad alcoholic and I've been going thru a lot so hearing this makes me think different but it's hard if I don't self medicate I'm not me but God do I love kieth whitley
The BEST of the best. The one and only son of country music MR ,KIETH WHITLEY!!!! LOVED YOU THEN, LOVE YOU NOW, LOVE YOU ALWAYS, MY BROTHER. WE'LL MEET AGAIN ON GOD'S BEAUTIFUL SHORE.
Love, Love, Love Keith Whitley & I’d Love to have this song & so many of his others I’ve heard before and can’t find. I’m one of his biggest fans & have been since I first heard him sing. 🎶♥️🎶 Thanks so much for sharing this. 😊 You are still Loved & Dearly Missed, Always! 🥰😍 R.I.P. Keith Whitley 🙏🏻💔😢🌹
This song was birthed while talking to a VON care lady who took it home to her partner for further development.Was thrilled that Keith Whitley got it and performed it so well.❤
What surprises me is how few people know just exactly how early Keiths career began. He had an unbelievable vocal range. Which is why most dont recognize his voice on a lot of Ralph Stanley's songs. Also he was a lot younger to. But Ralph immediately saw Keiths talent & quickly signed him on. As part of the Clinch Mtn. Boys. After showing up out of the blue at one of Keiths local shows and testing him. To which Keith flawlessly played every song he requested!
The only thing that surprised me about this song is that with Keith Whitley's gentle Giant personality I never would think he'd ever say the word b****
88comments in 9 years......My Lord, It's like folks missed the bus, on just who Lorie Morgan married! He made Lorie, famous, And somehow they all forget who made country, Country. .Lordy Lordy,Ole Hanks road was rough to, Let's thank the Lord for Mr Whitley's contribution,folks........Good grief, 88comments, and about as many likes!
@Dunno Dunno my name has always been slim, But your affection for a female, who hasn't made a song in 20 years is unfounded,and your definitely worth the time, For me to explain this
I’ve heard this song recently covered by whomever. I honestly didn’t like the version I heard on pandora or whatever. Keith sings the song perfect, and it’s believable. That’s one thing I’ve noticed about Keith’s voice, he could sing anything and make it a hit. Such an effortless tone and maneuverability.
One of the problems of getting old you think everything was just " a couple years ago " didn't realize how long ago this song came out. It is a bitch at the border.
Somebody's ALWAYS got it worse than you! But we are all worse off without Keith Whitley and that's a fact Jack !!!!!
In 100 years when our grand kids are telling stories about what it was like to live in a free country, I think one thing that will remain the same will be Kieth Whitley will still be known as one of the greatest country artists ever known.
2023 still listening to real country
From a 1988 home Acoustic Guitar Demo. I just absolutely love this treasure !!!
whoever gave this a thumbs down wouldn't know talent if it bit them in the ass. This is the greatest singer ever in my opinion. Long live the legacy of Keith Whitley.
keithwhitleyfan76 it's bit
Whoever gave this a thumbs down should have their thumbs removed with a dull knife.
He's one of the best country singers I've ever heard.
keithwhitleyfan76 Do U Know What Album Is This Is On
Robbie Stewart I believe it's an unreleased demo
Love everything you ever sang Keith Whitley! Such a loss when you passed away!! RIP KEITH!! Gone way too soon, but never forgotten!!!🙏🏻❤️✝️🌹🎼
This is country music right here.
Love Keith Whitley
One of the greatest voices to ever sing a country song!
Yea he sure was, him and George Jones.
They need to go through and find all these old recordings that made in on records and make a cd of them. Too damn many keith Whitley songs people are missing out on!
Amen!
Yeah I'd like to hear em' i thought I'd heard all his songs until this one, gotta be more i never heard.
I had never heard this one until today…man I’ve missed out! I love this song!
Exactly
I agree!!
what a talent he left this world too soon one of the greats
An amazing singer I met when he was only 16 and I knew that the minute I heard him sing ! A tradgedy and so many people could have helped him but didn't . GLORIA JEAN
He was raw talent......awesome....drank his self to the grave........ very under rated.........
LOVE YOU Keith Whitley !! Miss YOU !! Thank You to Jamey Johnson for covering this 👍🏻♥️♥️♥️🎶
Yes he did rip Keith
Keith is my favorite country singer. I am 65 and still listen to his music. And will never stop.
Jamey Johnson does a nice rendition of this song. Keith’s version is haunting for me. Keith’s version is so believable.
Yes I agree and it is because of the demons that overwhelmed him
Callmeyputoo
Billy strings cover is good also
There’s the key right there…his is so believable. Keith had a way of making that happen.
@@undergroundunlimited2282 I couldn’t agree with you more. He just died so young, I think about all of the music he never got to do. “I never go around mirrors “ is actual artwork by Keith. Not certain if he wrote it, but again, so believable
Gone well before his time. His voice gives me chills.
Brandon Johnson 30 yrs ago today.
Long time!!
Brandon Johnson I'm sitting here on the porch and drinking a few for Keith and a few for me. I might even smoke one , for medical purposes.
@@georgemoore8832 Best thing I've heard all day lol
Me too
As I am pursing a Country Music Career I Loved This Guy--No Questions
The best…the lyrics that man poured into his music. Can tell he was hurtin! Can’t help but think what that man could of accomplished with just even another 5-10 years on this planet!
truer words never spoken. RIP KEITH
Best damn County singer 😀
Up there in that top group for sure...
Yep absolutely
We need more song like this one. It tell we are all human and we all have troubles from the high money to the no money.

i still rember when he died it was such a great loss to such a great country singer
Only 34 years old
@@beagletrump7566 33*
He was going on 34
@@beagletrump7566 Oopsy. I thought you meant like he was. Less than 2 months he would've been 34. Sorry bout that man
@@beagletrump7566 Still only 33…..
Wish someone would put some of his stuff that never made it to the radio. It would probably be one of the greatest albums of all time

He tried. Just hard to match Keith
Yes sir ole Keith will live on forever best country singer still til this day
Country music Hall of Fame
He lift this world to soon what talent he will always be the greatest
He no longer is a troubled soul thank you RIP
Miss him but this is real country music
Just fabulous I love this Man 'What a Artiest 🇮🇪🎸💕🇮🇪
Really great pics, some, I've never seen.. Thanks a lot.. Such a stone cold classic.. This is country music..
The BEST of the best. The one and only son of country music MR ,KIETH WHITLEY!!!! LOVED YOU THEN, LOVE YOU NOW, LOVE YOU ALWAYS, MY BROTHER. WE'LL MEET AGAIN ON GOD'S BEAUTIFUL SHORE.
life how it really is. nobody could explain it better
This is not only epic but was likely Keith’s first cry for help
So true people cry out in different ways often it has to be decoded
I wish he could've beat his enemy
One of the best country singer ever and sang his feelings
The parallels between the lives and careers of Hank Williams and Keith Whitley are so eerily similar, needless to say #TheBestDiedYoungHankAndKeith
He also recorded I've done everything Hank did but die....crazy! Their lives most definitely parallel one another.
Same, just different generations.
Bad ass jam right there
This is a great song by Keith, my dear sweet friend.

Only 34. Never made his best song I think. Perfect voice.
The most beautiful voice in country music hands down!
Great singing.

Country music died on May 9th 1989
But but but Garth
@@brianjohnson6053 You are right. Garth is the one who killed it.
What a song. That is pure Gospel there.
First time ever hearing this song thanks to who ever totally amazing love anything he ever sung
This song was birthed while talking to a VON care lady who took it home to her partner for further development.Was thrilled that Keith Whitley got it and performed it so well.❤
Thank God 4 Keith Whitley 🙏
This is what Country was supposed to be !
One of the greatest country music ARTIST of all time.
I wish I could like it more than once. Maybe 750! The number of mills in a fifth!
you think like me. and I bet you drink like me too.
I love hearing these old rarities and B sides from Keith!
Yes sir one of the best talents!! It pissed me off though it so long to get him in hall of fame
What a song. Keith is in heaven because everytime listen I cry. He was an angel sent to suffer and speak to everyman.
Dang shame this man left to.soon
One hell.of a singer.rip
Love it
The G.O.A.T of any genre

The only thing that surprised me about this song is that with Keith Whitley's gentle Giant personality I never would think he'd ever say the word b****
He’s not perfect.

Waylon Jennings called Keith Whitley the greatest country singer that ever lived.
@Folk Music Waylon wasn't too far behind. But I agree
Waylon is my favorite. But I love Keith.
3 people must listen to puke Bryan!
Now its 38
awesome song!! r.i.p Keith
Wow great song by one of the greatest
Wow. Great video from a classic country singer. They just don't make it like this any more, except for jamey johnson of course.

@Dunno Dunno Lorrie Morgan ain't shit
@Dunno Dunno won't ever be either...Best thing she ever did was meet Keith
@Dunno Dunno love you,man....Ya had better go download her albums, before she becomes like, What she was destined for
@Dunno Dunno my name has always been slim, But your affection for a female, who hasn't made a song in 20 years is unfounded,and your definitely worth the time, For me to explain this
I’m with ya Keith
Never knew this song came from Keith, Jamey Johnson did this song and it turned out amazing it’s called Lonely at the top
Proof you can have it all and nothing at all at the same time!
Wow !!!
Your voice is so nice always ❣❤💯🎸

Love me some keith
RIP KEITH WHITLEY
I was pouring out my troubles to a stranger at the bar...
Cool song
RIP kieth Whitley may 9 1989
Am I the only one who thought that he sounded a lot like Randy Travis on this recording? P.S. I mean no disrespect. Both are legends!
Yes he does
One of the problems of getting old you think everything was just " a couple years ago " didn't realize how long ago this song came out. It is a bitch at the border.
Good
Can you play Turn this thing around by Kieth Whitley
Maybe country would have survived had he lived.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😢
As much as I like Jamie Johnson, this is the best version. Keith Whitley sounds a lot like Randy Travis on this.
Ain’t that the truth!
Wonder if the other half of his headstone will be used as once planned
This version is 100 times better than Jamey Johnsons
My twins are jackie keith (boy) and whitley ray (girl).
This is the for dam shor Sir
what year is this song from?
He died in 1989.
I would like to know that also .
GLORIA JEAN.
