Took over 30 yrs to put there uncle in the country music hall of fame. Shame on them. Keith Whitley didn't need country music, country music needed Keith Whitley
It's a shame how much loss the Whitley's have suffered. Very talented family, but somehow they seem to be cursed with losing family members way too early.
I haven’t seen these videos before and I loved John and Mike like my own brothers. I’ve never felt more at home than at Dwight and Flo’s even falling asleep on the couch and snoring so load that Mike Dwight and Flo couldn’t hear the tv😢 I’m so blessed to have known and loved the whole family but I grieve daily for them.
Powerful as all hell.. John Whitley is amazing. That voice and that charm, just sitting on the fireplace strumming with the family. He must've wrote this? (D)I'm laying awake and (A)hurting all night (D)long I told you to leave, now I (A)cant believe you're gone (D)I'm in pain but (D7)I just cant blame (G)you(F7/6) (D)I'm suffering from a (A)self inflicted (D)wound Well I (G)went and broke my (F)heart all by my(D)self But its never gonna heal without your (A)help(A7) Well I'm (D)gone, long (D7)gone, if (G)you don't come back (E7)soon I'm (D)dying from a (A)self inflicted (D)wound When I hurt myself, I do it right I'm fading fast and I may not last the night When I'm gone you can chisel it on my tomb He left with a self inflicted wound Well I went and broke my heart all by myself But its never gonna heal without your help Well I'm gone, long gone, if you don't come back soon I'm dying, slowly dying, from a self inflicted wound
I've tried to do some research on John Whitley, but all that comes up on google is info on Keith Whitley. Any info on John's life would be appreciated.

Amen to that

That's their brother not uncle
Keith was their uncle.

Yes we are
I like that he doesn’t try to imitate KW like most of the other relatives of famous singers do.
This a top 5 country song ever wrote/performed, yet 99.99% of today's country fans will never hear it. Wouldn't appreciate it even if they did.

What happened to John at such a young age?
Flora had me digitize this VHs on one of our many trips down and allowed me to post it. Love them like adopted grandparents.

Dam right, them boys could sing. Its very sad these brothers are gone. Country music is barely alive these days
My husband would have sent me the link to this song if he were still here…

I can't believe I only discovered him 3 days ago, man this is like listening to Keith and Travis , so sad to hear he was taken so young aswell.
Roy Caudill does a 🔥🔥🔥 cover of this! 🤙🏼
That hair is legit. That is the hair of a man that has seen some shit.
This is best thing I’ve heard in a while
Chills. I’m forever a Keith fan but god damn the talent runs deep in this family. Thank you for the post. 🙏🏻🎼🖤
Damn what a song. What a voice.
Not 100% but I think David Allen Coe wrote the song, if true its great cover! Wish there was more of him out there to listen too.
The Whitley family has so much talent
Man I am 42 yrs old why haven't I ever heard this I grew up on keith hell lived in ky my entire life john was a dam legend in the making like his uncle
Damn straight, he was awesome. I wonder what happened to him?
Holy Mother, this one just sent me way over the edge!! MERCY!
one of the best hillbilly songs ever wrote
That family is cursed but they made hell of country music ❤
Dwiights boys , grandson and Kieth , dwiights brother Randy and Randy's youngest son ,only Elmer Whitley's children . His brother fin , fin sons Mitchel and Randy , both mitchels sons . . The list could go on . 😊
2024 😳🔥
Sounds amazing!!!! voice Sounds like old country music!
Roy Caudill masterfully covers this gem 💎 check him out y’all
He didn’t do better than this 😂 if you think so then you don’t know music I play guitar and my family plays music so I know what I’m talking about
@@jegersvett2529you play guitar and your family plays music? You must know what you’re talking about
He did a great job…but to me, had John been able to put this out in 95, it would have been a smash hit.
@@jakehelton2668 yeah look up bluegrass hills of old Kentucky that was my family they wrote the song and played it in 1979
Pure pure talent. He had it all.
Imagine being that talented and not being the best in your family! What a sin when the world lost Keith
Now thats country
Sure wish he was still with us.
David allan coes is good but this is great. Pure talent
Real Country. Tru. Tks
It don't get no more real than that fols!!

Damn!
Hell yeah
Sounds a lot like Keith
Sounds like the perfect combo of Dwight Whitley & Keith Whitley.
Jared carter from Paragould ar is keths youngest nephew sounds just like him playes just like him
Similar to the Troutman's out of Ohio. For sure seems like a curse of the industry
