Out of thousands of singers in the world when I heard he died I was driving and had to pull over and cried like a baby. It was announced on the radio. Will never forget that one. He sang from the soul.
Omg, the same thing happened too me, except I was in my junior college year in an apt w then girlfriend and not driving. I cried too, like crocodile tears too
Hands down one of the greatest voices there ever was in country music. But as long as we play his music, he is never really gone. Never get tired of hearing Keith sing.
Agreed with you on this we lost Keith Whitley to soon to alcohol addiction at the age of 33 years old when he passed away his music will always lives on forever
I just Thank God I was able to quit drinking for good.....amazing it’s been 9 years for me..... just sad such a talented man couldn’t do it......please pray for those who can’t quit it’s an aweful struggle
I am a huge Keith Whitley fan! Right from the beginning he stole my heart with his warm rich voice and soulful singing. You feel everything he is saying, in every song he sings. He passed just 4 days before my 30th birthday and I will remember that day just like it was yesterday. I just couldn’t believe it when I heard the news. Gone too soon, but never forgotten, RIP Keith ❤️
True very true we lost Keith Whitley to soon to alcohol addiction at the age of 34 years old when he passed away he was such a very talented man just lost him to soon and every song he sang there was a purpose for every he sang Keith Whitley will always be number one to me in COUNTRY music needs to be inducted into the COUNTRY music Hall of fame
You can just tell he’s just wore out and tired, all the pressure he had to endure. But he really had a voice of gold that no one else has. He made country music real, and that’s the way country should sound.
I read somewhere that Keith had a motorcycle accident and after that he changed and in his performances you could see a sadness in his eyes. If you look closely at him in this video it really seems like he was tired physically and emotionally. He could put and incredible amount of heart and soul into his music and make people feel like they had a friend that understood their problems. He had more talent in one finger than 50 of these country pop bromance singers of today.
Joyce Corcione true very true my number one in COUNTRY music and always will be number one at the age of 34 years old when he passed away he was such a very talented person just lost him to soon
I have been listening to country music for most of my 63 years and I can truly say Keith Whitley is my all time favorite. I (as many) was crushed when I heard of his death. There will never be another who can compare to his wonderful voice. I said at the time " Keith, you had so many more songs to sing to me." He will always be missed.
Keith is one of the greatest of all time. I just finished reading Lorrie's book from 1997. I realize we all have our struggles. He had everything most of us only dream about--a beautiful wife and kids and a great career. I wish he could have taken his rehab attempts seriously and got himself squared away. I would have liked to still have him around today making more great music instead of the junk coming out of Nashville.
If hadn't died at such a young age while hitting his prime, he'd be known as the GOAT. Has a way better overall voice and more soul than George Strait, and I'm a huge George fan, but he's no Keith. People who know all about Keith know this without a doubt. BTW I was born a few months after he passed. Shows how great he was! My favorite singer ever!
Keith whitley was so blessed with the most beautiful, soulful voice of his era. I just wish he had not been so tortured in his soul and could have gotten a handle on his drinking. I would love to still be listening to his new music, instead of the junk thats coming out of Nashville these days. Gone too soon, but never to be forgotten. Rest in Peace Keith Whitley.❤️☺️😊💞💕😭
Wow the Eighties brought us so much talent! No one sounds like Keith Whitley! You can hear and feel the emotion in the music he left behind! Beautiful!
No words can explain Keith Whitley voice and how the words from every song, especially this song. My heart cries every time I hear this. RIP Keith!! Always be remembered!!
if there ever was..... theyd never make it to the grand ole opry. this music.... now..... is only about money. music rowe has killed REAL country music. all this luke bryan jason Aldean. fla ga line and all that CRAP...... HAS KILLED REAL COUNTRY music. these clowns now... cant even polish his boots

God please no. I’m a massive Keith Whitley Fan, but no more biopics.. after Walk the Line came out (great movie) seemed like everyone and their mother wanted to do a biopic. Some things are best left alone, and the legendary KW is one that shouldn’t be touched by Hollywood in my humble opinion. It should stay country music lore / legend
@@BBPalmer420 they actually were going to do one had it planned and everything but something happened with the money I believe and you're correct about walk the line every now seems to want a movie now
@@BBPalmer420 IF the movie would be done right, perhaps yes, otherwise NO! I like the Walk The Line pic, well done, but dislike the ones done on Hank Williams, very bad!!! All of them, shamefull.
gary tye I've recent discovered Sturgil Simpson and wow! He is similar to Keith at times. Check him out : ) I hate most new country but Sturgil is great!!!
Robert Wison true very true we lost Keith Whitley to soon to alcohol poisoning at the age of 34 years old when he passed away from alcohol poisoning he was such a very talented person just lost him to soon
It’s time now 35 years have passed he’s been gone longer now then the years he graced us on the stage this man’s life needs to be brought to the theatres in movie form they can do it for Johnny Cash and Elvis they can do it for Keith Whitley show this world how great country really was in all its truest form come on Nashville sometimes it’s worth looking back he was a great singer handsome man and a voice like no other it’s time now bring back Country music and alow Keith Whitley to show them how I’ve warn out many cds and thank god for used record and cd stores I’m back in the saddle again it’s time now get this man up there on the screen once again.
A tortured soul but the greatest country music singer of all time, IMHO. So hugely talented but so much personal tragedy. Sad. I never get tired of listening to KW. Never.
I first heard of Keith's passing while riding on the bus back home from school. The driver was looking for a station when all of a sudden a DJ came on the air & broke the news. I couldn't believe it. At the time being only 17, I had some cassettes & some vinyl albums by Keith. I was listening to a lot of country music at the time especially the new stuff. I also like classic country. Just heard Keith the other day while in the car & wished he was still around. A great talent & legend that we will never see again in this lifetime.
I don't think that's so unusual, for an African American woman to love Keith Whitley. Any heart knows what it likes, no matter where it comes from or what body it's in. God bless you!
I know this comment is old but I’m half black and I appreciate Keith Whitley because my dad is a white man who is one year older than Keith was. He grew up in the south and he always played country music.
Keith Whitley had a God- given voice. Nobody from his Era could hang with him. His range was incredible and his ability to play a variety of instruments as good as any studio musician was impeccable. He was just starting to reach his prime when tragedy took him from us. He had played music and sang all of his life and should be a Hall of Fame Member to say the least. His music lives on , and the memory of his Beautiful Voice will never be forgotten ! ❤ GOD gained another Choir Member ! Prayers for all family and friends of this Wonderful Talented Legend ! 🙏
Yes, it is just too horrible that alcohol took away such a great voice. But he's now in God's arms & nothing will every hurt him again. Jacquie Barbani
Denesia McCureay Barbecho true very true we lost Keith Whitley to soon to alcohol addiction at the age of 34 years old when he passed away he was such a very talented person just lost him to soon

One of the true traditional country music heroes of the eighties. Sure could've taught guys like Tim Magraw and Kenny Chesney how to sing a true country song! Thanks for posting this. Enjoyed it.
As a Native American Indian woman, I never get tied of listening to Mr Whitley cuz my son is living a life identical to Mr Whitley's. I pray everyday for the great Creator to change our lives for the better life without the liquor and the heartaches it causes. May Mr Whitley RIP. 9:52
This kinda Country has died out,I’ve been listening to Country since l was a little kid,My Grandma would take Me into the Den to Listen to the GRAND OL OPRY in the 50s♥️
He had just started his way to greatness, the best male voice in true country music to date! He sang and played...not hooked up to a computer to make music! Such a loss!!!
The man is the best in country music, by far!!! Wow what a voice! He’ll never be replaced! Sooo sad he’s gone! Gives me the chills when he songs best I’ve EVER heard!
I remember seeing Keith in Little Rock that Friday. Don't know if that was his last performance , but then heard the bad news that Monday. What a shock it was. What a great loss. Keith we miss you.
Every time I hear Keith Whitley sing Don't close your Eyes I get Goosebumps. I remember when he passed away a very sad day because he was truly everything as a musician and performer to me.
I am a huge Keith Whitley fan he was one of the all time greats and he would have been the greatest if he had have lived long enough!! the man had the heart and soul of country music!! he sure felt what he sung and he made you feel it!! miss him he sure passed way too soon!! but left some fine some of the best music!! I put him right in there with the company with Merle and George and thats some fine company and hard to get in with!! but he was sure right there with um!!! He made you feel that song Lordy day that is sad!! love ya Keith hope you made things right with the Lord and your singing in that Heavenly choir!! He sings in that I never go around mirrors that he had a memory to hide!! I just wonder what it was that Keith had that was so hurtful to him and caused him to drink like he did and caused the pain he sings about and you can see so plain in his eyes oh it just hurts to see!!!
Hubetta Lear If hadn't died at such a young age while hitting his prime, he'd be known as the GOAT.

BTW I was born a few months after he passed. Shows how great he was! My favorite singer ever!
I play and sing "I never go around mirrors" on the guitar all the time.. I often think about how Keith felt.. He loved this song so much because of what it meant to him.. It means so much to me and so many people because it is such a real portrayal of human emotions. I hope I meet him in Heaven, I'd like to shake his hand and tell him, "thank you". Thank you, Sharon for all your hard work and devotion, Wes
31 yrs ago today, Keith left us and this world lost a once in a lifetime talent. as a recovering addict ( I been relatively clean since 96) you never see the demon till it comes calling. RIP KEITH WHITLEY. we didn't know you were singing for your life.Damnit ,brother we miss you.
``~`~Brings tears to my eyes `~`~When he sings `~`~Just most feelings in he`s voice how he could sing those lyrics ``That`s ``So touching ``` So happy he`s son singing ``Love he`s voice `` Has He`s Dads + Moms Talent
I went to school with Keith Whitley he was a great person and a great musician loved music with all of his heart loved to preform in all the talent shows in school he did what he loved miss his music he had so much more to do but sadly he was taken way to soon RIP dear friend all your friends miss you
It was this song and Keith who brought me to country music. I didn't like country before Keith. I don't listen to country much anymore because it seems to me to have lost its soul -- am so glad to discover Keith online and have since bought almost all of his albums -- they don't leave my player. He is missed, even 26 years later. Wish we had more of his music and voice, but am glad that we at least have what we have. Someone went in and took some of his demos and erased everything on them but Keith's voice, and then hired band and singers to fill in -- they are wonderful, and I want to thank the person who made this possible, whoever you.
I know that the stereotype of my generation, which I guess is gen Z cuz I was born in 1999, is NOT to absolutely LOVE old COUNTRY music like this. I'm sorry but this is my FAVORITE singer and type of music of all time. Keith Whitley, as long as there's a breath in me, you may be gone, but HELL NO, you will NOT be FORGOTTEN.
My goodness, I thought I had a great country voice, but this man just drives me to be a better singer. I'm a grown ass man and his voice gives me the chills. I wish he was still here to this day so I could see him perform live
I can't say this enough. I love Keith Whitley. I'm 72. His voice. He puts you there.
Yes he sure does 😓
If today’s country music had one ounce of this mans talent, we would still have real music.
Agreed, Mitch.
Amen!
If it would have been Lorie that would have Drink her self to death we would still have Keith .
@@LUCKYB. WOW!! That’s pretty mean & inappropriate…
Whitley was great no doubt, but there are plenty of great country music out there today carrying on the tradition of the legends.
Out of thousands of singers in the world when I heard he died I was driving and had to pull over and cried like a baby. It was announced on the radio. Will never forget that one. He sang from the soul.
Him and Stevie ray Vaughn hit me the hardest out of all of the ones we lost to soon they was just a couple yrs apart
@@briscoesjug1026 EDC
Omg, the same thing happened too me, except I was in my junior college year in an apt w then girlfriend and not driving. I cried too, like crocodile tears too
Me too! It’s like I lost a family member!
Lori would have been home he wouldn't have passed away
My God what a voice. That sound was when country music was the real deal. May you rest in peace Keith Whitley. You're truly missed. ❤️
What country truly means
Hands down one of the greatest voices there ever was in country music. But as long as we play his music, he is never really gone. Never get tired of hearing Keith sing.
I would say THE greatest country singer to ever live.
This was one of the finest country music artists in our lifetime! It's so sad that he left us so early in life.
Agreed with you on this we lost Keith Whitley to soon to alcohol addiction at the age of 33 years old when he passed away his music will always lives on forever
He didn't think life was worth living so he killed himself with booze, the bottle was his friend.
This is the most delicate singing I ve ever heard
Yes Gene, you wrote exactly what I was going to say. Thanks Bro. from Nova Scotia!
I wish they would make a movie on him don't know you would play him.
I just Thank God I was able to quit drinking for good.....amazing it’s been 9 years for me..... just sad such a talented man couldn’t do it......please pray for those who can’t quit it’s an aweful struggle
No disrespect keith amazing but i believe he host of mental health issues as well as drink
I’m with you brother …quit cold Turkey in 2009 I hope I never drink again …
Praise the Lord for saving you
Nobody cares you still suck
August 18 1991...one day at a time my worse day sober is better than my best day drunk and on drugs

Keith Whitley, a legend in is own time. One of the greatest.
Singing in heaven
This man would smashed all number one records of all time had he lived longer !! RIP KEITH W

You can see the pain in his 👀. What a hell of a legend.
Keith Whitley was the best of the best in country music!
R I P forever.
John Mullins true very true
You can just tell he’s just wore out and tired, all the pressure he had to endure. But he really had a voice of gold that no one else has. He made country music real, and that’s the way country should sound.
Alan Jackson also
Sweet Kentucky Boy😊Fran Red ♥️🍒
It's safe to say this song is timeless! It's been 31 years since he last played and it still connects to us! RIP Keith Whitley
Nail on the head.
I'm 71. This is real country music. Tells a story.

No it was lorries Morgan and I believe the year u die u hurt a little worse
He lost a brother on one. He never got over that. Keith was just an alcoholic. Couldn't shake it.
The wreck was called Lorrie Morgan
What you see is the effects of alcohol, I can see it too.
@@scottesmonds9798 Lori tore him apart
without a doubt the best country music singer in the history of country music. ....love you Keith....RIP....brother. ..
count me in too
So sad he died so young bteaks my heart
@@tinafick4107 i still play his songs everyday..
I’m a huge fan. But best ever? That’s too far
Sounds like we love the same music...who else you listen too...
You can just feel the pain in his voice in this song...Thats when you know music comes straight from the soul.
Joseph Trujillo true very true
I definitely agree, Keith put his whole soul in his music. I love this man, so sad he passed so young.
Joyce Corcione true very true my number one in COUNTRY music and always will be number one at the age of 34 years old when he passed away he was such a very talented person just lost him to soon
Alan Jackson does also
What a true country voice. Gone way to soon but not forgotten.

One of my favorite
Keith is one of the greatest of all time. I just finished reading Lorrie's book from 1997. I realize we all have our struggles.

He needs to be in the hall of fame
May I ask for the name of that book
@@jontanner309 I think it is called Forever Yours Faithfully, My Love Story by Lorrie Morgan
He was great . He had a problem and it took him still love his music!!
I just wish he was still
I am still a loyal fan of Keith Whitley in 2016. He is a one of a kind.
he's my life time hero legends never die

People who know all about Keith know this without a doubt. BTW I was born a few months after he passed. Shows how great he was! My favorite singer ever!
Keith had TOTAL control of his vocal cords. In one word he could hit 4*5 octives. He Danced around the words of his songs. Truly blessed. I miss 'um.
Keith whitley was so blessed with the most beautiful, soulful voice of his era. I just wish he had not been so tortured in his soul and could have gotten a handle on his drinking. I would love to still be listening to his new music, instead of the junk thats coming out of Nashville these days. Gone too soon, but never to be forgotten. Rest in Peace Keith Whitley.❤️☺️😊💞💕😭
Most people don't realize this.
The king
He’s an example of true vocal mastery which is rare. Very hard to achieve through hard alone
So glad Keith will be inducted into Country Music Hall of Fame in 2022!!!!!
Wow the Eighties brought us so much talent! No one sounds like Keith Whitley! You can hear and feel the emotion in the music he left behind! Beautiful!
He needs to be in the hall of fame soon
No words can explain Keith Whitley voice and how the words from every song, especially this song. My heart cries every time I hear this. RIP Keith!! Always be remembered!!
He is in the HOF now
There will never be anyone like Keith Whitley.

Name one singer today who could sing with this much conviction, and talent. Without the help of studio dubbing. No one
gary tye The closest is probably Davis Daniel and he's not around anymore
Jon Pardi is close but even he'd he bow down to Keith Whitley
George strait
timothy stewart as great as the 👑 is, I think Whitley was the better singer
gary tye I've recent discovered Sturgil Simpson and wow! He is similar to Keith at times. Check him out : ) I hate most new country but Sturgil is great!!!
nobody will ever fill his shoes
David Sisk true very true
Nope, that voice will never be duplicated
Amen to that
Ditto
Simply the best country music singer ever.
Not a day goes by that I don't wonder what he could have done for country music. Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more!
A great singer gone way too soon R.I.P Keith He had an awesome voice & will never be forgotten.
His music gives me the chills everytime I hear it. Perhaps the greatest voice of all time
there will never be
another singer with a voice like this.
I mean never!!!!!

Yes!! His son Jesse Keith could play the role of his father very well. I wish they would make a movie!
A tortured soul but the greatest country music singer of all time, IMHO. So hugely talented but so much personal tragedy. Sad. I never get tired of listening to KW. Never.
RedRoo13
I listen to Keith hours at a time. I wonder If he had lived where he would be now. Love him! ❤
I loved Keith Whitley
I feel exactly the same
I'm fighting the same thing he was.. He seemed like such a happy man. God bless him.
His voice was so smooth, no one like him!! Play his stuff all the time even now. I guess he's not really gone if we do that?
Never gone...his music keeps him alive. ;)
Bluessongstress1963
That's right
Nobody 's ever lost if you know where they are. God put him to rest
He is to country music what Whitney Houston was to pop.
Still waiting for the day we will get back to REAL COUNTRY MUSIC AGAIN. LOVE YOU KEITH WHITLEY. REAL MUSIC.

He had just started his way to greatness, the best male voice in true country music to date! He sang and played...not hooked up to a computer to make music! Such a loss!!!
The man is the best in country music, by far!!! Wow what a voice! He’ll never be replaced! Sooo sad he’s gone! Gives me the chills when he songs best I’ve EVER heard!
One of the great voices of COUNTRY MUSIC !! Rest In Peace Keith !! Happy Birthday !!
I remember seeing Keith in Little Rock that Friday. Don't know if that was his last performance , but then heard the bad news that Monday. What a shock it was. What a great loss. Keith we miss you.
Good memories
He is undoubable one of the best singers I have ever heard, he can make you cry at the drop of a hat,, he speaks to the soul !!
Every time I hear Keith Whitley sing Don't close your Eyes I get Goosebumps. I remember when he passed away a very sad day because he was truly everything as a musician and performer to me.
I am a huge Keith Whitley fan he was one of the all time greats and he would have been the greatest if he had have lived long enough!! the man had the heart and soul of country music!! he sure felt what he sung and he made you feel it!! miss him he sure passed way too soon!! but left some fine some of the best music!! I put him right in there with the company with Merle and George and thats some fine company and hard to get in with!! but he was sure right there with um!!! He made you feel that song Lordy day that is sad!! love ya Keith hope you made things right with the Lord and your singing in that Heavenly choir!! He sings in that I never go around mirrors that he had a memory to hide!! I just wonder what it was that Keith had that was so hurtful to him and caused him to drink like he did and caused the pain he sings about and you can see so plain in his eyes oh it just hurts to see!!!
Call K
Hubetta Lear If hadn't died at such a young age while hitting his prime, he'd be known as the GOAT. Has a way better overall voice and more soul than George Strait, and I'm a huge George fan, but he's no Keith. People who know all about Keith know this without a doubt. BTW I was born a few months after he passed. Shows how great he was! My favorite singer ever!
Got that right
My all time favorite country singer. No one can't compare!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Agreed
Talent!! Shame we lost him so soon!! Every song he sang was Awesome!!
I play and sing "I never go around mirrors" on the guitar all the time.. I often think about how Keith felt.. He loved this song so much because of what it meant to him.. It means so much to me and so many people because it is such a real portrayal of human emotions. I hope I meet him in Heaven, I'd like to shake his hand and tell him, "thank you".
Thank you, Sharon for all your hard work and devotion,
Wes
Rest in Peace Keith...your music lives on.
One of the best country songs. He was going to the top. RIP
Already gone 30 yrs and no one can match him yet!!
Love this song - what an awesome artist that left us way too soon.

31 yrs ago today, Keith left us and this world lost a once in a lifetime talent. as a recovering addict ( I been relatively clean since 96) you never see the demon till it comes calling. RIP KEITH WHITLEY. we didn't know you were singing for your life.Damnit ,brother we miss you.
He was blessed with a beautiful voice and it is a tragedy that he died so young.

He left way to soon, I loved hearing him and Lorrie sing ....Keith even now your truly missed. 2014
Gives me goosebumps every time I hear him . 🙏
A beautiful song. Kieth was a great and true country artist
Born in 89 ...wish I could have seen all the great talent from this era ..but still her in 2021 loving the music and way of life they lived
Amazing performance by a legend. God rest his soul. That was a good time in America for me as a kid. I miss it.
I hear you bro brings me back to my childhood too!!
I went to school with Keith Whitley he was a great person and a great musician loved music with all of his heart loved to preform in all the talent shows in school he did what he loved miss his music he had so much more to do but sadly he was taken way to soon RIP dear friend all your friends miss you
It was this song and Keith who brought me to country music. I didn't like country before Keith. I don't listen to country much anymore because it seems to me to have lost its soul -- am so glad to discover Keith online and have since bought almost all of his albums -- they don't leave my player. He is missed, even 26 years later. Wish we had more of his music and voice, but am glad that we at least have what we have. Someone went in and took some of his demos and erased everything on them but Keith's voice, and then hired band and singers to fill in -- they are wonderful, and I want to thank the person who made this possible, whoever you.
I know that the stereotype of my generation, which I guess is gen Z cuz I was born in 1999, is NOT to absolutely LOVE old COUNTRY music like this. I'm sorry but this is my FAVORITE singer and type of music of all time. Keith Whitley, as long as there's a breath in me, you may be gone, but HELL NO, you will NOT be FORGOTTEN.
This was only 5 years before I was born
Wowwww what a wonderful singer. I'm so sad that he died so young. (Aged 34) 1954-1989 R.I.P. Keith.
33. He didn't quite reach his 34th b-day. Born July 1 1955. Died may 9 1989.
Huguette17 true very true
The best, and most under appreciated country artist to ever live.
I love Keith Whitley.... His one of a kind voice and talent...He is missed by so many.. RIP Keith know you are loved and missed💔
My goodness, I thought I had a great country voice, but this man just drives me to be a better singer. I'm a grown ass man and his voice gives me the chills. I wish he was still here to this day so I could see him perform live
true singer song writer, gone before his time!
always my favorite. always i still tear. no matter what.... Have all album's. CD. of such a great singer
What a great performer. We miss him - he left us way too soon. Thoughts are with Lorrie.
It is sad that he is gone, and will be sadly missed by all
Robert Foster true very true
Song of the year..another gt. Legend gone too soon..loved his music & voice .one of my favorites...gone but not forgotten...RIP Keith
He should still be here. Still singing at the Opry and making music. So tragic, such a loss to the country music industry.
Evry time I hear Keith Whitley sing It is amazing, Still so many years later his death still makes me sad. RIP Keith.
I'm so sorry that he's not in this world anymore; he had a great voice and was a great music player.
Voice of a Angel. Today's singers could never touch his music.
