- Keith and Allen (aka "the Other Frizzell Brother) work it out on this rendition of Keith's all-time favorite song. Take note to the proud wife and her mother Anna at the end of the video clip applauding another stellar performance from the Master.
Absolutely beautiful!!! This is my favorite Keith song😊
I love his singing😍😍😍😍👌👌👌
Gone to soon, I love his voice
I met Keith personally in 1988 the year before he died and this song still breaks my heart every time he sings it. His music is very special
I’ve heard a lot of really great performers but none compare to Keith. Absolutely phenomenal talent.
I wish this man was still alive...his voice just says it all!!
Thank you, dear, for your friendship this year. Blessings to you and your family this holiday seasons. Sending All our love from West Virginia, USA to you there in beautiful Greece!
Pulls at your heart as most of Keith's song do.
I love this song, I've got it loads of versions of it, but it's Keiths that I always play, he sings it with so much emotion and it was so nice of him to share it with Lefty's little brother
his voice was one of a kind. He put so much meaning into his music. he's a true country music legend.
Yrs he did one of a kind.
So much emotion 😪
OMG, I can hardly swallow when I listen to this one. I honestly don't know if it gets any better than this. Love to all.........Bobby H
This is a great song, thank you for puttin the video up. Keith Whitley is definately one of the all time bests. It's unfortunate that it had to end so soon, I can only imagine if he was alive the impact that he would have on Country radio as well as the sound of modern country.
@dales6868 How right you are about Keith Whitley! It brings a tear to your eye to realize this amazing talent
was lost to the world at such a young age.
this is real country at its best
Absolutely this is as good as it gets 😊☺👍
Keith Whitley is always a fav of mine thru the years.. and to hear him share a duet with Allen Frizzell is the ultimate. OmG.. ty or sharing this time honored classic
The one and only legendary Kentucky blue bird!!!!! Thank you Keith for
Being one of the many greats to put eastern ky on the map if you had only lived you would’ve been the king of country music no question. They can say what they want about good ole EKY but we produced some of the best country music has to offer.
No body will hold the candle to Keith Whitley man what a voice rip
I think I would crawl to Heaven just to see him perform this one more time. Sing it Keith.🐞🎼🎶🎧Thanks for the post
cried the first time i heard this song,i started in the 70's and this is still one of my all time favorites!!! whish i could still sing,but disablrd,chris comeaux
Glad you enjoyed it, Phyllis! Happy holidays!
Keith was awesome and this song suggests solid gold country never goes out of style! Who ever is playing that steel - what a master! He seems able to wring every ounce of soul out of that thing!
I know!
im a huge whitley fan, actually got the chance to go to sandy hook today, visited the memorial, had lunch at frosty freeze, then up to ashland to the highlands museum to see his stuff there. meant a lot to "drive around his old home town"
i think Merle is the true other brother great vids of true country artists i grew up just down the road from Keith & Ricky ty
Keith also had an eye for other talented singers, he discovered Ken Mellons in the 80's and told Ken he was one of the finest Country singers he'd ever heard. Alot of Whitley in Ken's voice.
That's right, I'm bad. (LOL) Well, I heard Allen was looking for a good copy of this performance he did with Keith, and I was sure to send him a link to it on his Myspace page. Olivia, his daughter, got back to me. That was the first time I ever spoke to her through email. I agree, this was a great performance, and Allen's contribution really made a huge difference. Thanks, Randy!
Chris Caskey is the closest thing you'll get to sounding like Keith Whitley now.These clowns now days couldn't come any where near the talent Keith possessed.
If "Jukebox Junkie" wasn't your cup of tea, you shouldn't judge him or anyone else by one song. Check out his entire body of work.
Incredible voice. Was glad he could record one of his idol's song before his death. I love this song, so sad.....
I think the best version of Keith Whitley singing this song is on the Japanese tour with JD Crowe
and the New South.
I had the honor working with Allen!
That's Randy Hayes, haze61151 here on the Tube. Thanks for stopping by, and have a happy holiday season!
Keith would’ve been a legend much like George Jones and the like. He was taken way too soon.
thanks for posting
10 ******
Thank you, Elin! That really means a lot coming from you. Are you the only person in Sweden who knows who Keith Whitley is? Or are you the only person in Sweden who knows who I am? Anyway, this St. Lucia Day be sure to have a few sweet rolls for me. Happy holidays!
I'm sorry, but that's Mike Chamberlain on bass. Keith's band Miami is backing him here, including Randy Hayes on guitar, Bruce Rutherford on drums, Joey Schmidt on piano, & Carson Chamberlain on pedal steel.
Allen Frizzell sounds so much like Lefty that its spooky and amazing.
@MAMsMom97 J Junkie was an excellent country song. Didn't think about the way his singing was similar to Keith's when the song was popular. Similar voice.
I LOVE RANDY TOO! BUT KIETH WAS MY MAN!
This is such a special song for so many reasons. It was Keith's favorite song by his favorite artist and he even had one of the original writers come and write a new verse. Aparently the day he recorded it he actually went to Lefty's grave and let him hear the new verse.... It could be argued that this song was Keith's requiem.
Thanks so much, Shay. Having Lefty's baby brother Allen sing with Keith on this one really lent an authenticity to the remake. I think Allen sounds more like Lefty than David (the middle brother) does, IMO. I think it should have been a single, but there were so many off the DCYE CD that I think could have been. Tell me, I know Keith's 1st single in the UK was "The Birmingham Turnaround" off DCYE. What kind of airplay did it get over there? I've always wondered how it did on the charts.
Have you heard "I Can Bring Her Back",or "I Went Crazy For Awhile" or "He Ain't Even Cold Yet,or " 7 Lonely Days"? A
REAL Country fan would not judge an artist by 1 song. Oh,and by the way, that "dopey" song was awarded the BMI/ASCAP 1 million airplay award. 1 of the few songs in Country Music history to accomplish that feat. Taylor Swift,or Rascall Flatts maybe more up your alley!! If not, search Ken Mellons on here.
Saw Keith and Lorrie bout 5 months before he died at the Ponderosa Ballroom in Abilene, Texas. Had a couple of drinks with him after the gig. One of the finest people i ever met!
Bad things happen to good people
I did not know that this was Lefty's last song that he ever recorded. ironically it was the last song that Keith recorded also!
Joe Cass I’m not sure where you got your information from on both Artist? Not sure about Lefty, but Keith recorded this on an earlier album.
It is an older video, Keith wasn't one that looked sick. Keith's problems were not something you could point and say.
He got round mirrors to damn much
It's fine if you liked the song "Jukebox Junkie"--but stop deluding yourself into thinking it was some sort of record-setter at radio. There were probably 30 No. 1 hits that year and just about all of them had to have earned that designation.
Randy Travis has a similar vocal style, but Keith is the man
Randy Travis??..He couldn't sing shit if he had a mouthful of it..
@@TheKen68 Are you kidding me? Randy is one of the greatest country music singers of all time. No debate.
What show/venue is this from?
So much for Whitley's eye for talent.
Isn't Mellons the guy who did that dopey Jukebox Junke song?
Whoa, take it easy.
"Jukebox Junkie" was a very minor hit.--barely cracked the top-10. It didn't make any history as far as radio airplay.
And it was a dopey song.
keith's best version is with JD Crowe when they recorded a tour in japan, One of the best versions ever and hard to figure except that JD Crowe was flexible to play country to make a living,
Great song great singer wonderful voice! Check out my version and let me know what you think
Tricky isn't it? Randy played bass too. But you are right my friend...Randy on guitar here.
@highnrising So lets get this straight.
JUST because YOU don't like Ken Mellons Jukebox junkie is dopey?/
that song was at least a top 40 and I think maybe a top ten of not number one.
His voice sounded a LOT like Keith Whitley a lot of the same overtones in their voices,and Ken is a nice person. Typical YT trollers always have to murder someone verbally. Keyboard Murderers. It makes some people feel better to put down others.
Jukebox Junkie was dope!!! Not dopey : )
I have a picture of me holding the BMI/ASCAP award given to Ken for the song. I also have video,of Ken getting the award on TV from Gary Chapman on Prime Time Country on TNN. You don't know what your talking about!!!!!!!!
Big friggin' deal.
There must have been 30 other songs that year that got that BMI/ASCAP plaque for "1 million airplay"--whatever that means.
I just looked it up. "Jukebox Junkie" was a Number 8 hit.
Oh, and did I mention it's a dopey song.
