wow! I remember seeing this when it was on TV in the little rural place I grew up in on PBS in Colorado. This wasn't long before he died. I was 16 or so and an aspiring guitar player. Somehow I got off the ranch and made a living as a guitar player for most of my life. I promise anytime I play "Dont Close Your Eyes" nowadays its still a hit

Loved listening to this man. It brings back so many memories. It makes me sad. When i first heard of his passing my mother and I both cried. She has now passed also. Gosh if I could go back in time….
Keith's music came to me during a difficult moment in my life, and it reached deep into my heart. One of the most beautiful voices in country music, and he was gone too soon. Rest in Peace Keith Whitley.
Back in these days I was a metal head and really didn't like too much country, Keith Whitley was one of those I really liked. I wished he coulda stuck around and made some more great music. His legacy will remain!
I loved Keith Don’t Close Your Eyes! Love that Song!!! Lorrie Morgan has a beautiful voice! I wish she would release another Album!!!❤Poor Lorrie I know she went through a lot!!! But she stood by him till the end. I hope she is very happy now. She deserves it.❤
We slammed so many 30 packs of Natty as teenagers on the dirt roads. Put on some Keith and let it play all night at Clark's Bottoms or Willingham Bridge. I couldn't imagine my childhood without KW.
Kept Ralph Stanley rolling and not enough is stated both Keith and Crter both had an enemy in alcohol! The were constantly playing in bars and festivals where alcohol was the drink of choice! Preferred by all the sponsors! C'mon folks! He was a teenager and the lead singer in the backwoods, the mountains, and nobody was concerned because everyone was doing it!. And He was making beautiful music and Who is telling the STAR NO? SAD! BUT TRUE! HE IS NO DOUBT SINGING IN THAT ANGEL BAND WHEN JESUS WANTS TO HEAR IT BLUE GRASS STYLE , AND WHAT US DOWN ON EARTH CALL THUNDER, THAT'S THE ANGELS STOMP'N AND CLAPPING FOR ANOTHER PRAISE OUT OF KEITH! JUST THANKFUL I GOT TO HEAR SOME AND WHAT A BLESSING VIDEO IS TO SHOW EVERYONE HOW EVEN A MAN WITH STRUGGLES CAN LIGHT IT UP LONG AFTER HIS LAST BREATH! THE MONEY GRABBERS DON'T CARE, AS THEY JUST BUILD ANOTHER STAR AND RUN EM INTO THE GROUND ! BUT WE ALL KNOW WHEN GOD TOUCHES A VOICE AND THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE! AWESOME THEN, AWESOME FOREVER! THANK YOU LORD FOR BLESSING OUR EARS AND OUR HEARTS ! TECHNOLOGY IS A BEAUTIFUL THING AT TIMES! THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES!
If you feel alcohol controls you and you can't stop drinking once you start, please seek help to overcome the addiction. It might be hard, but it's worth it living sober.
Well i think in KW case, he was well beyond average drunk. He was uncomfortable with his success, and at same time fearful of failure. Most musicians know what i mean. It is a hit and miss lifeatyle and occupation. No benifits, no sick days, or holiday pay, it is trully a struggle.
My very good friend knows the bus driver… Lori Repeatedly ran around on Keith, breaking his heart… she basically put the bottle to his head, and pulled the trigger! She acts all innocent and blames the bottle, but she’s the one that caused it to happen. She broke-up many other marriages along the way, after destroying Keith’s soul. I normally don’t post on something like this, but it’s made me sick over the years… just knowing the reason behind his alcohol addiction. I have no reason to make up any stories. It’s from a source that knows everything.
I still listen to Keith Whitley he was an Amazing Singer and was finally inducted into the Grand Old Opry Hall of Fame recently! It's ashame he will never know, but I'm sure he singing with the Angels!! 😇 R.I.P. Keith you will always be missed and loved ❤

@@stonecountry6990thank you. And thanks to Rhonda for asking. I started to ask the same but scrolled alllll the way to the bottom and found it. I was a couple months shy of 4 years old. But man I have come to love his music all my life.

Looked great here, like he had it all together, and as usual sounded terrific!!! A gem we lost way too soon!! R.I.P. Mr. Whitley😔
One of the greatest country singers of all time. Sadly he left us too soon.
Thank you Lorrie for sharing this great man. Yes i miss him as well. Hope all is great with you and family? Blessings Barbara & Sam
The best country singer hands down. The king before the king. As a youngster listening to these great tracks and I’m only 41. The MAN.
Him and Vern Gosdin are my favorites. It's the voices
First time seeing this. I feel like I'm actually getting to watch him live.
I'll always love Keith Whitley and his music! ❤❤
The control of his voice .
That Voice . .
I love hearing his acoustic ring out like it should! True musician and singer folks!!!
One of the best ever...left us too soon! RIP Keith.
Loved listening to this man. It brings back so many memories. It makes me sad. When i first heard of his passing my mother and I both cried. She has now passed also. Gosh if I could go back in time….
One of the Best - ALWAYS DID & STILL LOVE HIS MUSIC. ❤ Happy Memories!
Keith's music came to me during a difficult moment in my life, and it reached deep into my heart. One of the most beautiful voices in country music, and he was gone too soon. Rest in Peace Keith Whitley.
He had more talent in his little finger than some of today's music
Hi Lorrie, I miss you and Keith. Love you forever and ever. Amazing Grace!!!
Amy here our song luv it ❤❤❤❤❤

Birmingham turnaround! That is my jam!
My girlfriend in junior high was named Amy and Keith sang a song that always reminded me of her
We slammed so many 30 packs of Natty as teenagers on the dirt roads. Put on some Keith and let it play all night at Clark's Bottoms or Willingham Bridge. I couldn't imagine my childhood without KW.
Was at his birth place in Kentucky last winter. Legend
He was a hell of a singer
❤ Amazing voice Kieth had and it sure shined thru every song he sang 😊 A true country legend gone way to soon 😢
Still #1 after all these years
It's crazy a song like don't close your eyes sit around for 3 years, but wonderful Keith was the one who recorded it
I will always listen to Keith's music on earth /Don't, Close your eyes! ❤❤Lv
What a gem this is.

Oh my you said everything I wanted too. Even in his own misery he made beautiful music breaks my heart
Another legendary voice sounds so good live, love blessings, Keith Whitley

I don’t know who runs his estate but this should be released as a live album. His estate has been mismanaged since his death.
30:56 that hurts. He was gone from this earth from hard livin just 7 or so months after this.

Worlds greatest mullet.
❤
I'm living proof
What guy wouldn't want to be able to sing like him. Drinking windex is poison I think.
