Keith Whitley going #1 for the first time.

Going #1

[@patburchard5003]

I have always been a Keith Whitley fan and will be forever! I remember crying when he died in 1989!!! He had a voice that went straight to my heart!!

[@j.netterville4287]

I heard him on a radio interview just a few days before he died. He sang with heart like all the other greats. I will listen to him; & his son Jesse too, till I leave here

[@tommytwomommy]

I've listened to hundreds of this guys recordings from national TV performances to drunken dive bar shows and I've never heard him hit a bad note. God given talent.

[@joshuabiddix2923]

He had perfect pitch...

[@conniewinters9773]

Keith wheatley you are a unique singer created Heavenly music ! Always Listen to. Your music ,

[@tjromans2427]

Love this man. This is Country Music. All this new stuff is a joke.

[@quentindugger5389]

Damn right brother.

[@michealwhittaker2400]

I agree these singers today couldn't carry this man's boots the best ever

[@midwaymonster30]

Amen. Keith has secured his spot among the greatest country legends of all time. I sure miss him.

[@carolmartin6719]

A very smart & talented man & a great singer & artist

[@daviddeaton1575]

He may have like to drink but when it came to his music he always put on a great show He was a born singer and also a great song writer Someday hopefully they will release some of the other great recordings of this guy You know there has to be more Keith had a voice like no other country singer truly legendary Keith has made RCA more money than any other singer out there That tells you how great he was and still is today

[@ICsucks]

Best country music singer ever. I love the traditional country singers like Keith whitley and randy travis. I just wish that Keith and randy could have done duets together because their voices are the best in country music

[@mychaelpierce8049]

Keith Whitley was truly one of the most gifted singers in C&W music history! Right up there with Lefty, George Jones, Ray Price and Merle!

[@janl2835]

It was these performances on Nashville Now that made me a Keith Whitley fan.He was my favorite male singer from then on.
Watching him here singing "When you say nothing at all " I am covered in chills. Happy to find these videos still, after nearly 28 yrs since his passing....Thank you so much Stone Country.

[@gregholland9725]

Somebody contact RCA and tell them to put out a box set of Keith Whitley it needs to be done maybe legacy can do it

[@tjromans2427]

Yes it needs to be done!

[@rdmineer1]

I've met his lead guitarist, Randy Hayes, and the lead vocalist in the tribute band, Chris Caskey, a talent in his own right, (look up God's Pocket on here) is a personal friend. Find out when they play and go see the tribute band. Worth the time and travel. They're on here, too.

[@Teenywebsta]

Thank you! This is the best , clear version of this I've seen . I miss Keith and the fact of what other great records he would have made.

[@drygordspellweaver8761]

I agree! Even in "when you dont say a thing" I noticed a special little extra in "saying youll never need me" that adds so much.

[@waltmooredanwilson8754]

Thanks for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching. Take care and God Bless.

[@joshuawaltz9484]

Man what a real talent. Keith was a real country and blue grass singer. He and Ricky Skaggs put Kentucky music on the map. But Tyler Childers is keeping Kentucky music alive.

[@drygordspellweaver8761]

I love these live performances more than the recorded versions

[@lemmykilmister9979]

One of the best bluegrass singers that ever walked the planet in my book right up there with Carter Stanley and Lester Flatt

[@royalzavala8545]

Fun fact: The album that Whitley had made and shelved before “Don’t Close Your Eyes” was the album “I Wonder Do You Think of Me”

[@tinayoung5581]

Very Very good Singer 👍🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@scottfinger9880]

GODALMIGHTY MISS THIS MAN as much as did on 5/9/89-my 1st ink was Whitley 😢

[@marc2397]

“Real”country music.

[@suefortner6696]

I love to hear him sing

[@paulrogers2815]

I thank that's my favorite version of don't close your eyes

[@2skyland]

I wonder what it was that made him start smiling at about 13:37...it looks like he almost starts laughing going into the chorus and I can't help but smile and laugh myself.

[@stonecountry6990]

He was looking at Lorrie

[@annieaston2726]

The best died young.... #HankPatsyAndKeith

[@nettieruthdeville1383]

Wonderful voice

[@annieaston2726]

Lookin healthy happy there keith

[@judyrizo3185]

I have always been a keith witley fan too bad he couldn't passed the alcohol problem

[@mumv2089]

Let him speak!!! I hate when an interviewer doesn’t let the person speak.

[@mrc6032]

Yea, that host was a pompous prick, Keith should have been a bit more stern putting up with that clown

[@annieaston2726]

He looked really smart in black here

[@anthonyowsley8286]

I would NOT want to be known as the man who popped Keith Whitley with a flyswatter.🤣

[@edwinj1224]

Just imagine the music that would have been

[@michellep1965]

😢 Ed j, I often due. Surely, he was on his way to much greatness. Mark Chestnut, George Strait...Man, he left too soon. My knees buckled and I cried the whole day when I heard the news!

[@terri5757]

Stone Country I’m a new RUclips content creator. I was wondering if you might be able to help me with some questions I have about Copyright laws regarding Uploading RUclips videos? I am bent on getting Keith Whitley into the CMHOF. I’d like to be able to put his videos on my Channel, but I don’t want to get strikes by RUclips. I’m not sure how to go about finding Keith’s videos that I won’t have a problem with? I’d greatly appreciate it if you can steer me in the right direction. Please, and thank you very much!🤗🤗

[@denisewoods4387]

❤

[@quentindugger5389]

Ricky Van Shelton couldn't hold a candle to Keith or his voice.

[@LinkRocks]

Come on now, RVS was great in his own right. We all agree Keith is one of the best but no need to knock RVS like that.

[@quentindugger5389]

True point he is a great artist I have nothing against him.

[@dabneyoffermein595]

Tempo problems when he sang "You say it best when you say nothing at all"....i think he was just starting out and so tempo is a hard thing. just a little uneven...he probably didn't have a good monitor.

[@gregholland9725]

Since Keith Whitley passed what has RCA done not a damn thing he has so many unreleased recordings and live recording that need to be released in a box set but it will never be wishful thinking

[@quentindugger5389]

It really does seem like RCA wants to keep Keith's recordings all to themselves. Finding one of Keith's vinyls or CD's is damn near impossible nowadays.

[@dabneyoffermein595]

if it won't make them millions, they couldn't care less

[@donnamariepszoniak6101]

Keith& Lorrie were a Beautiful Couple ""💕💕

[@michellep1965]

Where’s Randy Hayes? Have I missed him? I don’t see him🙁

[@stonecountry6990]

Randy wasn't in this one. Lou Toomey is in this clip.

[@TheAccusedRoidUser]

Randy isn’t worth a shit anyways!

[@bobgomez9481]

He was fun to drink with. Drank everyone under the table and out the window.

[@donnalromero4481]

Ralph Emery. Most awkward television host of all time.

[@annieaston2726]

Not sure if he weearin black or navy

[@TheAccusedRoidUser]

Ralph was just a straight prick to Keith! Hard to watch the interview in my opinion!
