As a fan Keith Whitley's passing touched my heart. He was so young with so much to live for. I really wish he could have overcome his battle with alcoholism. I know he tried to quite admirably. From the interviews where his family is with him,or he is speaking of them he looked like such a down to earth family man. It takes a very big heart to accept a child as your own so this speaks to the love he had to give. I hope his now grown children have at least a few fond memories of him. They were quite young when he passed. My heart broke when I saw an interview his mother gave about the morning he passed. They had just spoken about 30 minutes beforehand. When her other son called to tell her Keith was gone she asked, "where? ". She then assumed it must have been a car,or motorcycle accident. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. They are supposed to bury us not the other way around. God Bless her for keeping his memory alive,and displaying his memorabilia. I always enjoyed the bluegrass spin he put on his songs. He played like the greats used to,and now he is one of them. I think the first Keith Whitley song I heard was "Miami My Amy", but my favorite is "I'm No Stranger To The Rain". It gives you encouragement that whatever storm you face you can come through. I wish Keith could have. I pray he has found peace.
Miami, my Amy is the first song I heard. I heard that that and I went, “Wow”. This guy is going to be big. You have all your facts straight. Great job.
My first Keith Whitley song was when you say nothing at all. Very awesome song and I still listen to his music 🎶. I know that he's singing with the angels 😇
The very first song I’ve heard of Keith Whitley was I’m No Stranger To The Rain. I loved his voice and he sure could sing. So sad he passed away at such a young age and didn’t realize how good of a singer he really was. I am so happy he finally will be inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame. This is something that should have happened years ago. That’s how good of a singer he really was. RIP Keith Whitley 🙏🏻🕊
I remember Keith's first hit, Miami my Amy. I have sat in many a old bars and played I'm no stranger to the rain on the jukebox. God speed young man. I wish you much success here on TH-cam.
How wonderful to see the house where Keith lived and his beautiful resting place. His voice was so smooth. I was just listening to I'm not Stranger to the rain at work today.. love the background music in the video...nice.
man..."who's Mama didn't like Keith Whitley"...sho got that right man... the first song that I ever heard of his was also "Don't Close Your Eye's", my Mama danced with me at my wedding reception to "When You Say Nothing At All"... for year's I was a DJ at different events and on the radio, among other hits of the day, I'd play many Whitley song's over the year's man... I've been there also, memories brother man... thank you sir...
it wasn't the first Keith Whitley song i heard, but i remember as a teenager, my favorite was Miami, my Amy. dont close your eyes, and when you say nothing at all are awesome too.
I remember EXACTLY where I was at and what I was doing on that day I heard!!! Welding in my dads welding shop building a dog box!!!. Totally devastated!!!! So sad to say but was more upset about him dying than some of my actual relatives that have passed!!!. Maybe I’m not the only one that felt that way!!!😢😢
@Campbell73 hey thanks for the support and commenting! I agree 100% it was one of those moments in time that stood still for many people. Keith was one of those musicians that sang to your soul and everyone could relate to his lyrics! He was the guy everyone rooted for. Thanks again! Hope you are subscribed and hope to see you in the comments again!
Google says he was born in '55 and another article says '54 this is so strange. Don't Close Your Eyes was the first song I remember of Keith's as well. It's still a classic always will be.
Somebody's doing me right was my favorites song now my favorite song is brotherly love my brother overdosed when he was 34 he was his favorite singer I miss me and my brother listening to him we were big fans
1st song I heard of Keith's was Miami My Amy. It was a rainy day here when the news he passed came on my radio. I remember it. I have Lorrie's book Forever Yours Faithfully where she goes into their relationship and Keith's death. A group of fans have been trying to raise money to replace his headstone with an angel monument with both Lorrie and Jesse Keith donating items to bid on. If I remember right Kenny Rogers helped after Keith died including paying for the double headstone. Forever Yours Faithfully is from the Journey song Keith played for Lorrie.
My parents and I loved him. I remember when my dad came home from work and said he had passed away. Just heartbreaking😿💔 Don't Close Your Eyes is my favorite.
@@brendakrieger7000 I’m very glad that you saw my video Brenda! I hope I can bring more original videos to you! Hard to find stories that have not been covered!
Great video you done! However, Keith was indeed born in 1955 as stated on his Tombstone. He died at the age of 33. Just 2 months before his 34th Birthday sadly.
I have a few questions. How long had he been sober before the day he died? I have read that they found 24 empty cans of beer in the house. When did he get the beer? I would think Lorrie would not have let him keep beer in the house. So, his brother in law evidently thought that Keith was in an okay frame of mind when he left. I have read they had breakfast and planned on playing golf later. It would be very difficult for anyone to drink 24 cans of beer in an hour even an alcoholic. I have read they suspect that he drank a bottle of mouthwash and two bottles of hairspray also. I understand we are talking about addiction and alcoholism but it all just don’t add up. Also, the corrupt medical examiner. Did his brother in law bring him the beer? I am not insinuating anything just have questions. It would appear to me that he tried to drink his self to death. A lot changed in an hour. If you have anymore info that might help me understand please share. Thanks for your video. I’m no stranger to the rain.
Don't close your eyes..great song.his son sounds just like him..all the the great ones passed that way..bon Scott of ac/DC Steve Clark of def Leppard and Jon Bonham of led zeppelin

Can’t give out specific addresses like that but like all the places I visit the addresses are public knowledge. A Google search will reveal it for ya! Thanks for the support!
I wondered the same thing actually while I was there and I don’t know I did try to read up on it some and I never heard that she does but I’d have to imagine that she would from time to time!
@@BIGBAKEONTHEMOVE I’d love to know if she’s still planning to be buried there, since she’s been remarried, and with this last one for quite a while now! When you say nothing at all is the one I remember most from childhood, but Don’t close your eyes, is my absolute favorite! He was amazing.:)
I've drank 13 beers in one night and I am still here, I've drank so much in a night that I literally hugged the toilet, I'm going on 52, I did most of my heavy drinking in my 20s, I'm finding it extremely hard to believe that Keith drank himself to death, I'm quite certain His Wfe actually killed him and everyone is blaming alcohol.
Now hearing how much alcohol he actually consumed that day. How on earth could he b on the phone talking to ppl hour before think about it that much alcohol in 1 hour I mean whoever talked to him he had to sound incoherent AF u would think
In the early 80s, you don’t got to lie to hang. I mean, unless you were just one hell of a fan of Bluegrass back in the 60s and 70s or madly in love with J.D. Crowe and the New South I’m calling BS. That was one hell of a long pause, trying to come up with your story. I’m not trying to be hateful just be a little more genuine.
Please elaborate some more with your comment. I’m not sure what your saying here. Before I uncork on you I wanna make sure you have come at me sideways ya know.
they didn’t rush him to the damn hospital either. This is my point don’t try and fake it man makes you look like a poser who’s just trying to get clicks.
I think you are missing the point here… the legacy is what is preserved here the small details of the story like “rushed to the hospital” aren’t really what makes a story “to get clicks”… I mean I should believe some assclown on here named MrIzzy over a filmed interview by Lorrie Morgan right??? She said it before I did. Please shut up from now on.
GRAVE AND DEATH HOUSE, EXTREMELY TACKY&DISRESPECTFUL THE SNIFFLES, YOU'RE COLD, POINTING BEHIND YOURSELF "KEITH WHITLEY IS BACK THERE" YOUR GONNA NEED SOME SERIOUS MANNERS IF YOUR FIXING TO DO CEMETERY TOURS. GET IT RIGHT NEXT TIME PAL, AND DON'T DO SMALL TALK.
well it appears that I get the last comment and that’s fine. Gator mouth I have eight words for you fuck you you ignorant son of a bitch. Now, I feel better.
Keith is finally getting inducted into the country music hall of fame. It's about time.

I’m surprised his house was not much for Keith
I cried like a baby the day he died....my heart was broken.
My parents and I loved him. I remember when my dad came home from work and said he had passed away. Just heartbreaking😿💔 Don't Close Your Eyes is my favorite.
Very sad day Brenda, country music lost a superstar for sure!
@@BIGBAKEONTHEMOVE yes, we were devastated😵 Couldn't believe it, so young💔

@@BIGBAKEONTHEMOVE you're welcome😊
Keith was my cousin. His loss is tragic and he is missed greatly.
Also, I didn’t know realize he was so young! For some reason he looked older than 34 to me when I was a child. I was in 9th grade when he passed away.
He had been performing for a long time! I bet the road was hard on him!
Constantly performing, alcohol, stress ages us.
He was a great writer and that deep voice of his could touch your soul... sadly he was a troubled man that left this realm too soon.
No He wasn't a troubled Man !!!! You don't even know the Facts.
Don’t close your eyes was first song I’ve heard of Keith’s.
Yup, don't close your eyes...the very first I ever heard
UNBELIEVABLE SINGER'S LORRIE & KEITH, VOICES OF ANGELS FROM UP ABOVE. THANKU FOR YOUR AMAZING SELF.
Wow this is a much different comment than the first two that you erased. So nice the third time around.
Great video you done!
However, Keith was indeed born in 1955 as stated on his Tombstone. He died at the age of 33. Just 2 months before his 34th Birthday sadly.

I couldn't imagine living in that house now.
What type of camera are you using?
He passed away a couple of weeks before I graduated from high school.
Miami my amy..first song I remember
Heck of a song Michael!

I can remember him in bluegrass with Ricky and then Miami my amy
There a light at end of tunnel by Keith
Don't close ur eyes
Wonder why Lorrie never had his birth year fixed if he was born in 1954 and not 55. One of the greatest voices of country music.
Don’t know it’s strange! Honestly I’m still on the fence as to when he was born lol I’ve seen it back and forth sooo many times.
I’m No Stranger to the rain
I’m no stranger to the rain
My favorite I'm over you
They should have took him back home to Ky. Just my opinion!
Same I agree. I. From Kentucky myself and there's no place like Kentucky imo it calld to your soul
I wonder if Lorrie Morgan visits often
I wondered the same thing actually while I was there and I don’t know I did try to read up on it some and I never heard that she does but I’d have to imagine that she would from time to time!

Lorrie did not kill him. He was an alcoholic long before he met Lorrie.
Interesting what proof do you have that Lorrie killed him?
I believe it was a combination of alcohol and cocaine.
You would think between him and hers achievements they would had lived in a mansion !!!!
