This was when real country music came out of Nashville!! Not the garbage they have today… Nashville is now an absolute disgrace.. Keith Whitley was my hero, I miss him so dearly. RIP my dear friend. We still live you and know you will always be number 1 !!
His son Jesse is a great musician. I’ve listened to Don’t close Your Eyes so many times, I can probably sing the entire album by heart. I’m glad the Hall of Fame finally gave him the honor he deserved.
Ugh I love Keith Whitley just him in normal talking sounds like he's singing the man could have sang/read out loud a phone book and it sound beautiful R.I.P Keith❤
How we went the whole period of time from when Hank Williams made country music popular, through the late 80s and early 90s, ending with probably George Strait, Alan Jackson, Travis Tritt, and a few others (Keith obviously in that company) with GREAT country music singers singing country music. Then, how we went from such great music to the bro dude garbage spewed out of Nashville today, I’ll never know. It’s either the people have become increasingly dumber in musical preference, or they just don’t know anything about country music, its purpose, and its origins. It’s probably a little of both based on the people we elect to political office (in both parties) and the music that is the most popular today. It’s really embarrassing and an insult to people like Keith Whitley. Please go back and learn Nashville!!!
JayBirdsChannel You nailed it. My only time I got to see the Grand Ole Opry was March 7, 1958 . I'll never forget that. PURE COUNTRY MUSIC. Nuff said 🙏🇺🇲

Such a distinct voice he will never get old to listen to for generations to come!
So great to see this video of Keith Whiltley. Not only was he an amazing singer, but such a nice man too. It makes me love him even more.
Ikr such a genuine soul
That guy on the right was showing signs of dementia. Lol. Keith was awesome.

Huh?

Love Whitley, I just noticed he sounds kinda like John Anderson on the first song, not bad, just an observation
They were both influenced by the same artist
Lorie Morgan loved Keith Whitley. ❤❤
Whos listen tonight
