If you use profanity in your comments, your comment will be removed. Don't show your stupidity by using it.
In light of a recent comment left by a viewer on May 3, 2009, viewers should be aware that there is a lot of erroneous information about Keith's bio, most notably the bio on CMT.com, which is chock full of glaring errors. Keith's given name at birth was JACKIE Keith Whitley, not Jesse Keith Whitley. Jesse Keith Whitley is the biological son of Jackie Keith Whitley and Loretta Lynn "Lorrie" Morgan, born in 1987. Jackie Keith Whitley was born in Kings Daughters Hospital in Ashland, KY on July 1, 1954, the son of the late Elmer Jackson Whitley and Nannie Faye Ferguson Whitley. Back when Keith was lead singer for J. D. Crowe and the New South in the late 1970's and early 1980's, he found he had lost his birth certificate, and he needed one for his passport. So when he received his new one from Frankfort, it came back with the wrong birth date, July 1, 1955. All this information was given to me by his mother during a phone conversation I had with her in 1991. I'm sure Lorrie knew his real birthdate, but why she insisted on putting the wrong one on his tombstone no one seems to know. If you need more proof, I have a digital copy of his original birth announcement provided to me by the Whitley family with his birth date, place of birth, and birth weight. If you need a copy of this, send me a message.
This Paul Overstreet/Don Schlitz-penned gem was Keith's 2nd straight #1 song and the second single from his 1988 album "Don't Close Your Eyes." Keith's original stayed at #1 in the US for 2 weeks at the end of 1988. Allison Krauss covered the song in 1995. While Krauss' version was on the charts, Mike Cromwell, then the production director at WMIL-FM in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, concocted a duet merging elements of Krauss' version with Whitley's original hit version. The "duet" garnered national attention, and it spread from at least Philadelphia to Albuquerque. It was never officially serviced to radio and has never been available commercially. Krauss' recording won the 1995 CMA award for "Single of the Year". Then in 2004 Keith's version was #12 on the list of CMT's 100 Greatest Love Songs of All Time.

Whoever mixed this deserves a medal.
I totally agree!!
This is one of those songs I could NEVER decide who did it better. Blending these two is otherworldly.. 👌
If I was forced to pick I’d say Whitley but the combo is best it’s not close
Right! I could have swore that this song was a duet.
ive heard keith whitley sing this song by himself and alison as well, but never together.......i love both of them singing it together and apart......such a beautiful song...when i hear it i dont know whether to smile..or cry.........lovessssss this song....thanks for posting...and for all those with negative comments about keith.....let the man rest in peace...what did he ever do to you....some ppl are soo callous.....keith you were an awesome singer...may you rest in peace...
I was fortunate enough to meet Keith back in the mid to late 80s. And actually worked on his 380sl Mercedes in Nashville at an Independent shop. This Guy was as nice of a guy that you would ever meet. . He finally told me he was a songwriter and that he wrote Miami My Amy.Then i knew who he was!! His Passing was a tragedy.Terrible things happen to good people! And this is the best song ever! R.I. P Keith Whitley and God Bless!
*""TO WHOM EVER DID THE MIXING FOR THIS TIMELESS CLASSIC, ""YOU ARE WONDERFUL, ""YOU DID A TREMENDOUS JOB""!!!!!!!!!!!!*

This song played in Nashville for a time
100%
I agree this a fantastic job wow my my awesome duet a peace of mine love song
@@marlinmealer6506 in Iowa too
Keith Whitley's voice embodied classic country spirit. Allison's is angelic and the duet is a profound and fitting tribute.
Can you imagine, if Keith Whitley had lived, the duets these two could have had together. Such a haunting mixture.

Its amazing what computer tech. Can do huh?lol👍👍😏
when this was done, it was not on a computer. It was good ole tape
👏👏👏👏
I agree, I wish Keith god rest his soul could have been alive to sing this lendendary song with Allison!!! 😓
Everyone knows Alison Krauss's voice is truly amazing, a gift from God. This duet makes clear that Keith Whitley's voice was just as amazing. He can modulate a single word and you're hanging on it. What a loss the world of music has had these last 25 years or so.
"a gift from God." Umm, no; evolution. God is a human confection.

Some believe in God, some don't. The ones who don't will spend an eternity with the devil in hell.

"God is a human confection". I never knew that God was a dessert. Thanks for the information.
@@qakoltenandfamily6973 Meet you in heaven, some day!
The best duet to never happen.
Thank you to whoever mixed this!
I love this song. It was "our song ". My husband died in 2007 of cancer after 28 years of marriage. I miss him so much.
❤I know you'll never see this. So much time between... but I pray that you've found peace and a new happiness.
i love this song reminds me of my wife who has passed loved her so much
the greatest duet that never happened the person that mixed this is awesome love this song
you damn right brother. great mix ...
Isn't that the truth and it's a crying shame.
Brad Boyd you are so right
I honestly don't think the world could have withstand how beautiful that duet would have been
great sound
I absolutely love this. Whoever dubbed this together deserves an award!!
Keith Whitley is the gold standard for timeless music. He influenced many but none have reached his level.
Amen to that😢😢❤❤
My father and I danced to this song at my wedding. I have so many happy pictures of that day. I wish now, that I would have known that this was the last dance that I would share with my dad. Cherish your parents, you don't know how long they will be around. Tomorrow is never promised.
Keith Whitley would have been the best country music singer of all time in my opinion he still is
Old Mr. Whitley could never explain what made this song what it is today. And Allison Krauss's cover in dedication to Whitley is amazing!! You may be gone, but you are not forgotten. Your career in country music, short as it was, has given us one of the greatest country love songs ever. Requiescat In Pace Keith Whitley.
Came across this in November 2021. Timeless as ever
I was on guard when I clicked this (love Keith's version), but man this is good. Keith and Alison's voices, plus the superb orchestration by Union Station. Very powerful song, but it does bring back all the regret of Keith's leaving us so early.
I played this version at my wedding ...love it !!! ❤
+Victoria Gomarko the dj place we hired was able to get it for us ...I was so happy !
You have great taste Nicole.
Nicole Lewis mine too
Nicole Lewis that will be me one day
Nicole Lewis same here. This was my wife’s and I song same version. This and Bret Michaels all I ever needed.
I love both Keith's and Allison's versions but this is great. Congrats to to whoever came up with this. 100% A+ kicked it rite off the planet!!!!!!
I wasn't sure if I was crazy or not remembering a duet version of this song as a kid. So happy it really exists.
It was made after Keith Whitley passed in '89. They never sang it together
keith whitley was a beautiful man with a beautiful song in his heart. my husband and i enjoyed his music. we listened to it over and over again. today,nov. 18th. 2011, was the 22nd. anniversary of our first date. we married on feb. 14th., 1992. he died on mar. ,6th., 2003. we were together over 13 years. i miss him so much.
Allison has a voice from Heaven, it sounds so Angelic. Thanks for keeping Keith's music alive friend...
Steuen G I said the same thing.
I love the fact that people are still commenting on this daily... One of the most beautiful songs ever put together.
It was such a sad day in country music when we lost Keith Whitley god bless the mans soul
The BEST "Duet" in music history! The way the engineers dubbed their voices and music together is awesome! I was only 10-years-old when Keith died but his music still lives on.
i be loved this song since I was a little girl! my daddy met Keith right before his death... he is truly a country music legend!!! and he is in heaven singing to all our loved ones ... RIP Keith ... you were a great man and will always be dearly missed. later in life this became me and a old flames song... I wonder how Jason is doing... if you ever read this Jason in Kansas I hope you're doing well! I've never fell in love since my highschool sweetheart... who broke my heart beyond repair. But I do hope to fall in love again and hope he will be the one to catch me when I fall... not many good men out there anymore ...
+Stephanie S m y childhood sweatheart & I broke up for 16 yrs. been back together for 20 now.
+Tami May well I'm happy you both are back together again! I've actually been talking to my first real boyfriend from back in 92 ! He's helped me alot the past week that we got back in contact. He told me that I was his first Love! We been talking about how thing's ended and we now know what all happened and how each other really felt. He was the first boy to ever give me courage. And now he's back in my life when I need Courage again!!! My ex husband is really messed up and has been addicted to drugs since the mid 90s. Being in contact with my first boyfriend again and finally saying screw what people think ... I'm going to heal my own way! I'm finally feeling that I could actually Fall in love again ... or maybe just fall back in love with my old Boyfriend! Which is a big deal. Because I've never felt love in 15 years!
It was so sad when he passed away. They have discovered so much about addiction since 1989. I had a friend who also passed away from alcohol poisoning. He was only 40. I wish he could have been helped before it got that far. I have no doubt he is playing beautiful music in heaven.
Ole Mr, Webster could never explain the beauty of his voice!!
john eller here’s a Whitley fact Mr Webster was Keith’s gym teacher in sandy hook Kentucky not a dictionary true story
As the song was written by Paul Overstreet & Don Schultz, and not by Keith himself, it probably does mean the (Mr) Webster’s dictionary link and not to his old gym teacher. In my opinion of course.
Thanks for this. Heaven has another beautiful voice in its choir with Keith there. Jesse Keith sounds so much like his Dad.
When Keith died back in May, 1989, I mourned and grieved till my mother could screa. Imisshim until this day ad I was 21 at the time. He is one of of my all time favourites..
+GG Rizzi IKR Such a waste of talent, but he loved drinking more than his life!
GG Rizzi ,best voice ever
GG Rizzi i can understand we miss him
It wasn't my mom who would scream, it was my hubby. Keith had a special something in his voice and he was just so special .
Great slow dancing song!! Hmm. Any memories?
To the person who did the editing... wonderful job. To MAMsMom97... thanks for loading this.
My father died two months ago and this song, again, is helping me make it through. Thank you again to you and your family.
This was my Uncle & Aunts wedding song, She just passed unexpectedly at 42 & it randomly came on my Spotify this morning randomly having never searched it or listened to it on Spotify. Doesnt feel real..
Rest in peace Aunt Jackie 🕊🕊
Wow! Amazing how they put their redcordings together to make a duet. So awesome! We miss you Keith!
Alison & Keith both had success with this song. They sound wonderful together. Alison Krause is underrated. She has an amazing voice.
Had to keep on listening to him tonight,, did not know of his passing, so sad, Where have all these real deal Country Singers gone? This is what it is all about,, not 2018. It is a shame to see the thumbs down.. oh well,, jealousy is a bad thing too! You never know who all did a thumbs down. Sadly missed,, and thanks for the video to keep the real Country Alive!
Amazing mixing, two awesome voices, blended together beautifully. Truly two of the best voices around.
by far this is the best duet of all time hands down they sang this song like the stars they are
Sweet Tribute to the late Keith Whitley, He was a great country music artist!!
You can't get much better than Keith Whitley and Allison Krauss. Two great voices together. Beautiful!
Very well the greatest duet that never happened.
Rest easy, Mr. Whitley.
me and my late husband did this as a duet in 1998 in our shows , where did country music go?
We used this version for our first dance song at our wedding. It was magical and everyone loved it so much.
Keith Whitley was a great man and singer. Best of the 80's country music
I hardly ever listened to country music. I was born at a time when classic rock was the rage. I lived in West Virginia for 3 years ending in 2007 and was introduced to Allison's voice which is so beautiful. Hearing her and Keith's voice together has me hooked and from now on, I'm classic country!!
love this song, I'm sorry Mr,Whitley passed away a few years ago.he will always be remembered as a great song artist..& country singer...Mark Riley.
Individually they each knocked this song out of the park, together they made it a masterpiece, it is so meaningful. It has always been one of my favorite love songs. Thank you for posting.
Awesome song and such a nice mix
Yeah Alison knocked her out of the park all right if you remember nobody expected her to win female vocalist of the year she did that year
Our song. My dearly departed husband ❤️ loved this
❤ prayers that you've found peace and a new happiness ❤
I love the mix of this song, I wish Keith was still around so he ans Allison could sing together...beautiful song.
Your music is there forever. Thank you.
Love you Keith! Being in law enforcement days and nights have been tough, with our brothers and sisters being slaughtered but this song has helped my wife and I make it through. Thank you for posting it and I know your son is waiting patiently for you and the rest of your family to meet him in Gods great plan!!!!!!
LEO from Trinidad and Tobago brother
If this doesn't bring tears, your heart is as hard as stone.
2 great country music singers even in 2019 right.
I agree!
As usual, I am in tears singing this. I know GOD and KEITH are looking down, saying "JACK", knock it off, you will be basking in the Glory"!. That's what keeps moving me forward!!!!!!
This is one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE songs!! And LOVE this version, wouldn’t it have been AMAZING if they had actually sang it together....it would have been one of the BEST duets EVER!!! I TRULY WONDER How much More AWESOME he would have been, had he not died WAY TOO YOUNG!! I sing her version when I’m singing karaoke...so THANKFUL radio stations keep Keith Whitley’s music alive!! I Remember EXACTLY Where I was when I heard he had died....just dropped a letter in the mailbox with my then 10-month old daughter...it’ll be 30 years, in May, 2019!!! RIP Keith, You Are SO MISSED!!!
So beautiful as a duet!!! Keith Whitley was an Awesome singer too!!!
Mom97, my wife and I love you. We listen to this nightly and hold each others hands, crying, for the loss of your son, and the renewed love we have for each other. Thank you for posting this and may God watch over you and your family.
Greatest Song Ever.
Amazing combination of 2 completely different legendary voices, belting out a song from the heart
Emotional overkill? Can't help loving it! The sincerity in Keith's voice and Allison's crystalline tremolo drives it home....when you feel the real thing, nothing else matters.
cant beat the voice of an angel!
Michael Towle Billy Ennis Or a metallica song "nothing else matters"
Michael Towle l.
Amen
I loved his version and when she put it out in memory of him it was amazing and very beautiful.
This however, this is just amazing
THIS is real country music! Thanks for combining these two great artists for a true duo "made in heaven"...........RIP Keith.
Ths only Reason I ever started listening to Country was Keith Whitley
Frank Brooks your loss.....
Not!
It opened new doors for him to be able to enjoy another genre'
I discovered the Country music to Keith and I loved, and now i love the Country music. In Spotify I listen to it everyday.
I'm sorry for my missing, my english no is good, is bad :´v
I was a USMC recruiter assigned to Muskogee, OK. in the L8 '80s, when county" was starting to explode into "mainstream" popularity. I spent a ridiculous number of hours a week in my car driving to the high schools in my assigned sector. I heard a lot of the male"hat acts", but Allison Krause became a favorite. Never heard of Kieth Whitley until recently. I like him, it's a shame he drank himself to death. @ least it wasn't heroin or crack, like the rockers die from abusing.
Frank Brooks hate to admit it but to this day tears still come to my eyes, so sad
I love duets --- and this one is right up there with the best. Thanks for posting it.
I sang this at my mother's funeral..only as a child at 11 yrs old.. I still cry to this day, 24 yrs later..
Still need tissues til this day when I listen to this tribute. After patrolling the county for 12 hours it's refreshing to listen to an Angel singing to an Angel!
Such an amazing song. Heard this first in my early days in the Navy. Still in the navy and still playing the song.
Thank You for your Service Bud.
I hope Keith Whitley went to heaven,only if he was truly saved.I don't think he will be singing country songs in heaven if he is there.I loved Keith's voice,he was a great singer.
Nice mix job, because both are amazing and together is even better!!!
An all-time classic!!! Can't understand why so many dislike this song!!!! SMH!!!!
This gonna be the song my fiancé and I dance to on out wedding day getting married on my birthday in October!!absolutely beautiful song brings me to tears every single time!! Love keith Whitley
I remember my dad playing music with Keith when I was younger. Such a great guy.
Wow love these two great country artists singing a duet together, doesn't get any better.
They didn't sing it together... that's most of the point behind the video.
It's an awesome mix by whoever threw it together.
The fact that this mix could be done is a tribute to how true she was to his version of this song. She did an amazing cover and the 2 together are phenomenal. Super job bringing these voices together. They would have made beautiful music together.
Such a beautiful song! Wow! Love this!
What a great mix. Absolutely perfect
The 154 people who "disliked" this video know nothing of music and have zero taste.
Charlie Gottschalk god damn right they don't, fuckin idiots, this is an amazing song with great feeling to it
Josh Dingess Allison Krauss does the original song no justice.
Cowboylifesaver I prefer Allison's cover.
Charlie Gottschalk I do agree with you this would be my desert island song
Charlie Gottschalk OUCH, LOL!
Keith Whitley is my favorite country singer of all time. And im really more into rock and roll, but i grew up listening to a lot of country. Keith wasnt one if them i growed up to listening to though. I heard his songs on the radio though and loved his music from the get. The first song that got me listening was (IM OVER YOU). from then i was addicted to his sound.
Omg! Beautifully sang! Their voices sounds great together!
thanks for posting! Keith is a legend , and Allison nails this song! Keith was one of my first favorite country singers and has been a huge influence among todays singer songwriters
Duet from the dreams!Tears are pouring!
I Love This Version!! Wish He was still Alive !!
She has a Beautiful Voice !
So, I searched “Randy Travis and Allison Krauss duet. And I wasn’t the 1st one who did. Obviously because Keith Whitley and Randy sound so much alike. I hadn’t heard this song since I was a child, so this entire time I still thought it was Randy Travis. And I also never knew the duet wasn’t real, either. Haha. It’s amazing by the way!
I never thought about it before but Randy Travis does sound similar to Keith Whitley.
One of the greatest.
A song that never happened has 5+ million views. I guess it's true, and it happened when they said nothing at all. To me, to make something out of nothing, that is a miracle
Amazing song and the most beautiful voices. I know God created music. It was our gift.
+Rhonda Cliett Yep, I agree Rhonda.

This was played on our local country radio station in Chattanooga, WUSY-FM, US101, many times. I always loved it and had never heard it since, until finding it here on your channel. Thank you for uploading it for all of us to enjoy.
*""IF ONE DOES NOT COME TO TEARS AT SOME POINT IN LIFE, THEN YOU ARENOT HUMAN AT ALL""!!!!!!!!!!!*
Duet that should have made history. This is better than either by themselves. Great remix.
Rest in Peace Keith Whitley! Best version I’ve ever heard
both single versions are great but spliced together it's innimitable
the day i get married i plan on having this version played during the reception when i dance with my wife
Me to. This will be my wedding song
That will be such a fine dance!
Tell her I said hi when you do
Beautiful!! Probably the greatest collaboration I've heard yet! The way Keith and Alison sound together hits home. God, I miss that man!
One of my favorites. It was a tragedy to lose this amazing talent.
This, of all things in my 44 years of life sums up how I feel. I am so thankful for this posting. With the passing of my grandmother, grandfather and most recently of my wife I can hold onto this song as a reason to have hope. I truely hope others have this kind of inspirtation.
Great song by two great artist.
This is my favorite song I play to my wife.
It takes us back to when we first got married, now 30 years later it still is our favorite.
This is my wife's song from me....love your family and forget who we are...save the family
Great Job! The '583' dislikers were just teary eyed and thought it was the like button.
My older sister and I sang this song at my older/her younger brother's funeral together I miss him and her both dearly
I think Keith would have been very Happy with the way this remix turned out.. He was an Amazing Man whose life came to a Very Sad & Abrupt End.. Way before his time.. Allison Complements him Very Well in this song..
Wow. He's got a Merle and George Strait blend in his voice. The real deal right there.
