- Keith Whitley Single Girl ( Rare Recording )
I want to thank the Whitley family for giving me their great support and permission to use this very rare and never before released early recording by Keith. I only came to know about Keith and his work just a few years ago and have since come to appreciate both the man and his music very much!
I would also like to thank Bonnie " Cherrie " Hill for introducing me to this rare recording and the generous supply of photos of Keith, some that were used here in the making of this video! Her support of me and this project are greatly appreciated!
To help elect Keith Whitley to the Country Music Hall of Fame, here's the link to that petition...

....and I'm sure there's much more than what's listed!
I apologise about the audio problems from 2:10 to 2:20, but remember, this is a very rare recording by Keith and it's only natural to have these types of problems!
I will not send this song to anyone! These are the wishes of the Whitley family and I will honor these wishes... so please understand!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all Keith Whitley fans world-wide!
He had the greatest voice ever in Bluegrass and had he lived he would have stood at the top of all the great musicians that have embraced the Art!
Man, this is so good it's almost too much to handle. It just gets you going and you want to fly. Keith was great!
I began listening to Keith when he sang with Ralph Stanley. When he went with JD Crowe he came a lot more into his own and could do a mix of all the songs he really loved whether they were old time like this or anything he liked. I never stopped listening to him and liked him as a person as well as a musician and singer. I will never forget him.
when keith was pulled/lured away the b-g,old tyme and applachian genre music
and hooked up with whorey-lori i was disappointed,sad and angry.....i loved keith....
he would have been the potentual future ralph stanley....when he was seeking a
girlfriend/wife he should stayed with his own kind and social level....from east ky or
applachia .....very many wonderful and beautiful women there...he could have had his pick.....trouble is many young men,like keith think with their package/junk/penis
and princess lori snagged him....his days were numbered after that......
RIP ....keith
I know and understand just what you mean. I wished that it was not true but it was. Nobody seems to remember how crushed he was when Randy was killed and that he was still hurting from the loss of his brother when he died himself.
unfortunately I never had the opportunity of meeting Keith but on May 9th 1989 the day he past is the same day that I met my wife whom I am still married to today ! 🎤🎼🎸🎶🎻🎵🥁🎼🎹😎
None of the recordings I've heard of Keith with Ralph Stanley show him as well developed as a singer as he became with J.D. Crowe. As for him 'hating' Bluegrass: he may have felt hemmed in artistically when he was with Bluegrass acts, but I wonder how much he actually hated Bluegrass per se. If he had lived I wouldn't have been surprised if later in his Country career he had come back and made a Bluegrass album, just as other Country stars (e.g. Joe Diffie) have done.
It's finds like these that make me excited to get home and let my daddy hear.
Keith was from the same hometown as I am from I did get to see & visit Faye his Mother back in Dec 1993 & she was a very sweet lady.
Just loved that man! As parents....awesome son,proud you must be.xo
He could sing it all, bluegrass, country, gospel, southern rock. What a shame he left this world so soon.
What a beautiful series of images. Thank your putting this together and posting. He was incomparable.
Absolutely fab!
This is what you call down home country picken. Some of the new so called country singers could take a LOT of lessons from this great song it's a shame what they have done to the country music industry.
I think you should agree with me that there will never be another Keith Whitley.
If that aint something good.... What the hell is? Thanks for sharing this jewel.
Thanks for the old songs. Good picking, always sounds good ole times.
thank you for sharing form a huge Keith Whitley fan
Thank You for sharing the rare music and info on electing Keith Whitley into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Keith was da mañññn
Greetings from IRELAND 😉 salamat for this gem
Outstanding!
Added to my favorites
Man, I just can't get enough of this song. Thanks again for uploading this!
Missing and Remembering Keith !
What always blew my mind is how few audio/video examples there are of Keith's lead guitar playing. He rightfully gets credit as a great lead singer, but his picking was exceptional as well (as demonstrated here).
This is the one other example I can think of. Monster flat picker:
th-cam.com/video/SnqG6WTGTP0/w-d-xo.html
He has this capoed up so high and it just rings. Beautiful.
I always figured he had to at least be a decent guitar player from the years of being in a band but he was a first class guitar player
Yes he was great...But honestly, I am from the north and I had not given Keith the time of day till "I'm no stranger to the rain" came out along with his handsome new look back in !989. Then I thought he was the greatest country singer since George Jones!!!
The Man....The Myth....Keith Whitley Everyone.....Enjoy!
This is great. Right up there with Flatt and Scruggs
Amazing playing!
my hero
Thanks for sharing.............
o0nly one keith

Many thanks for this unique post Jim and I will take the opportunity of wishing you a very Merry Christmas and hopefully less troubled New Year Bill
Anytime I need some heart I listen to this! There's nothing better than this!
Truly an American original song which is actually respectful to women..great song
Howdy Jim, I've heard his music before but this one is a real surprise. He must have been channeling his ancestors roots to make this. Thanks for this fantastic posting and thank his family for allowing it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Lenny
Old Carter Family song!
Thanks for posting love anything keith does
This is large!
Thank you Whitley family for sharing !
He was channeling "CARTER STANLEY"....The Stanley Brothers used to do this one...
Quality back porch pickin' and singin'
All the best singers and musicians die young.
Kieth Whitley is at the top of my list.
Along with Carter Stanley,
Stevie Ray Vaughn,
Jimmie Hendrix.
Crazy what these men might have created had they lived a little longer.
Keith wont ever be forgotten
You can say that again!
Never
Pure!
Wow I've never heard this till now. This is amazing! If you ask me, Keith was the best singer to ever live. Is this a home recording?
yes
he did the same with tell lori i love her
Actually, Keith was as great, if not greater, a singer as everyone mentioned. He was gifted; he gets to take credit for that. However, nobody forced him to begin the drug bit; that is all on him, and only him.
So sad but true.
the man died from alcohol poisoning, to be clear. his alcoholism started at a very early age. at 15, he joined Ralph Stanley and years of living in the bus on the road with those older mountain men cemented and hardened his drinking. he never gave it up and it killed him...
caciowa that is true but his family were Moonshiners, so actually he started drinking earlier than 15. It was a normal way of life for them back in Kentucky. I heard the Whitley family tell about it. It’s just a shame that he became addicted to alcohol and would binge drink. He was the type of alcoholic that if he had one drink he couldn’t stop.
His dad and my grandpoppy was brothers, he reigns from a long line of Binge drinkers alcoholics ,they say it's a family curse . Unfortunately he a d his brother wasn't all that lost their lives do to drinking . My grandpoppy a d uncle died in a csr crash drinking and driving, randy ,kieths brother died in a motorcycle accident alcohol was a factor . Keith's nephew Dwight's boy died in a car crash drinking and driving trying to out run the law ,Randy's youngest son died in a 4 wheeler accident r running from the law, Dwight's grandson John's son died in crash due to drinking ,and Mike Dwight's other son died of addiction , two of kieths 1st cousins the sons of my uncle who died in crash with y grand poppy died with in month of each other one drunk his self to death the other died trying g to swim across the lake while intoxicated. Its very tragic addiction is a very dominant gene not only in the Whitney men I have battled it for years lost my husband to it ,my daddy and his baby brother fought with as well his baby brother died from a self inflicted gum shot trying to battle his demon and brain tumors ,and another cousin wS electricuated to death when his ladder touched electric lines painting ( a Whitney family bussiness) Hopefully it's ran its coarse and let's us leave in peace .
@@brandifultz3104 Hi Brandi! I found your email both interesting and informative. I have heard that Keith's father Elmer was a binge alcoholic. Keith's sister Mary's son (Bobby Skaggs) also lost his fight with addiction. I have been around Keith's son Jesse several times, and he drinks heavily also. Would you mind me asking you your daddy's name? I have researched Keith's life and death extensively, and appreciate any information. I have visited SandyHook several times and think it is such a beautiful and friendly town. I wish you the best in your fight with the dreaded disease of addiction. Thanks! Jim
I might be crazy,but I would have loved to heard him sing that with Sarah and Maybelle Carter.
Actually, Sarah, Maybelle, and AP did sing this song, in 1927, The song is titled "Single Girl, Married Girl. It's great! Carter Stanley sang it in 1966 with the Stanley Brothers.
Is there anywhere online I can find this to download? This is amazing.
Keith was at his best before switched to the modern age carp.
Luke Howard there’s no money In bluegrass. Im sure he would’ve loved to keep doing this type stuff.
Actually Keith got to a point where he hated bluegrass and didn’t even want to hear it. He did an interview around the time the album Don’t Close Your Eyes came out, I believe with Ralph Emery. But Keith said he liked country music and grew up on Lefty, George, and Hank Sr. He happened to like making music and pickin but there were no Steel Guitar, or Fiddle Players in Eastern Kentucky that he knew of so he gravitated to bluegrass because that’s what was around growing up. Randy Hayes who was Keith’s Bass/lead guitar player and played with him in JD Crowe said once that it was unlikely Keith would have gone back to bluegrass.
@@jaredbast6199 bluegrass wasn't for him.....he was trying to get away from the old-style mountain music as testament for him going to JD Crowe and newgrass and then out all together. It's just gets old and people need to move on. It got him the start he needed with Ralph and he was always thankful for Bluegrass, but once you hate something, it's hard to go back, you're exactly right. Has anyone ever hated a girl and then gone back to her? I doubt it.
🥰🎶♥️🎶🥰
Missed badly .
This joker could play and sing he was hard to bet
I was married in family thay all had problems
Would love to see what this man would have done with his career he died at the dawn of his career. Would have had so many hits in country. With that being said I bet he would have circled back to bluegrass roots
Sad but the nut doesn't fall far from tree his cuz herbie Daniel's od too in Paintsville
First time hearing this song from him. He cant make a bad song. He just cant lol
