My father passed away earlier this afternoon. 62 years old. Every Sunday he would make breakfast for us growing up, and he would have this album on cassette just playing on repeat and singing every word. My father is the reason I love Keith Whitley and country music the way that I do. Listening to this one loud as hell tonight for you old man. Hope you're singing along too.
😢Music will take you right back to those Sundays and you can reflect on those precious memories. Sorry for your loss.. May God bless you and your family ❤
This is one of the most heart-wrenching feelings.Of course i'm gonna rap watching somebody that you're desperately in love with being in love with and hurt over somebody else
I am not a country music guy by any means, very selective, BUT Keith Whitley made me into a fan. His voice, his music is timeless Country. The greatest of all-time👍 👌
Sometimes I need this music. We all have pain inside us and when we’re sitting all alone, well I believe a good cry helps with the stress,especially when you have no one to be with.
If you believe in Jesus, give your life to Him, He will transform you beyond what you can ever imagine. His Holy Spirit will indwell you and you will never, ever be alone. You will realize that this world is no longer your focus. Everything will change and your eternity will be secure in Heaven. Prayers to you in abundance 🙏🏻❤️
I am still listening to this powerful song in January, 2025 & still love it as much as I did years ago. What a unique voice. I hope Keith has finally found the healing, comfort & peace that he was unable to find here. R.I.P. Keith.
I sadly admit I was not aware of country music in the early 90s! There is a lot I have missed but no more! I have heard this song several times and today, 08/28/2021, I’ve declared this song and Keith Whitley my FAVORITE!♥️
@@angelagartenstein7975 Friends of mine and I went over all the best country songs and singers from Hank Williams to Luke Combs and we declared this the greatest country song of all time when we we were done.
@@cameronvelthuis1844 Yep that's what David Allen Coe and the writer believe. They're biased. My friends and I took months going over all the best country songs of every year from 1960 to now. Of course it's possible we got it wrong, but not for lack of effort. Hank Williams was before 1960 but we added him in.
I recently discovered Keith, and I have got to say, I haven't heard more emotion or pain from any other singers. Really tugs at your soul this stuff. Glad I found you Keith , better late than never, RIP
Yes same here,brotherly love is beautiful. Everytime I hear it I think about my big brother Nick who I lost in a tragic drowning accident 5 years ago. Wish I could go back in time.
My dad passed 3 years ago today. He used to sing this song all the time on his guitar. Was one of his favorite songs. My 12 year old daughter has been crying missing him so much . Breaks my heart he was an amazing person who put everyone fist. Miss you so much daddy think of you every day ❤luv you see you in heaven.
I feel ya brother. It hurts my heart so much that my dad can't see the men that his grandsons are growing up to be. My youngest is just like him. They would have been inseparable.
So sorry for ur dads passing. It’s never easy to lose someone we love. Hold ur memories close. ❤️🙏 Ur dad had great taste in songs this is def one of my top 3.
True very true we lost Keith Whitley to soon to alcohol addiction at the age of 33 years old when he passed away his music will always lives on forever the king of COUNTRY music singer number one and always will be
@@gmandersonjr agreed we lost Keith Whitley to soon at the age of 33 years old when he passed away from alcohol poisoning is my favorite COUNTRY music singer number one and always will be number one
As a kentucky girl who's grown up on Keith, and loves him dearly I'm so thankful they finally gave him the recognition he so rightfully deserves Rest in peace Keith❤️
It’s not acceptable for an adult to “want to be friends with” someone you don’t know much less to have “been watching them for months! That’s inappropriate & disgusting! ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE CONTACTING KIDS! Stop it now
Keith was an amazing song writer and singer...this song is very powerful...and he does one hell of a job singing this song..it brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear this song!!!
He was a great singer and performer but he didn't write this or most of his other hits if any.. most older country musicians didnt write their own songs.
His life of addiction and death made for one hell of a sad documentary. He was absolutely brimming with talent and by all accounts was a super good guy. Those addiction demons are sure hard to shake.
Sadly many have internal demons that are just hard to shake or ever fully overcome, addiction being one of the worst. You try to live life as best as you can but sometimes theres no warning before those demons take hold and might take you all the way to your death bed.
Stay strong, go to therapy, talk to family or friends that love you. You deserve the best life can offer you. There are so many wonderful times ahead of you.
Yes.... I haven't watched the documentary but I lost both of my parents in the last like 5 months over addiction... It's terrible... I'm only 19 so it's hard. I really hate how drugs change the people you love.
*I'm into Jazz and R&B as a pianist, but this kind of music isn't even about the chords to me but the lyrics, something I usually never pay attention to. This music is beautiful.*
My mom used to listen to him alot. She passed away over 5yrs ago. This song was going thru my head. Had to play. Im 41 and hes been a favorite of mine for years. Also big on Toby Keith,Brooks and Dunn, Buddy Jewel, Garth Brooks just to name a few
Ted Unseth one of the G.O.A.T’s of country, he grew up about an hour away from me and sadly it seems he is extremely under appreciated today, he brought back that classic sound when country was going in a more pop direction
Ted Unseth i love his music as well just lost him to soon to alcohol addiction at the age of 34 years old when he passed away he was such a very talented man just lost him to soon and every song he sang there was a purpose for every song he sang there will never be another Keith Whitley the king of COUNTRY music singer number one and always will be number one and his music will always live on forever
How COOl is that, Ben!!...my daddy was a guitar player all his life (lead guitar and steel - gave up going to Nashville to stay and raise my brother and me, but always played music as his living)...he played with some amazing country artists. My daddy's where I got my LOVE for music!! LOVE this song and Keith's voice!

My great aunt passed away yesterday and Keith Whitley was her favorite. Moments before she passes my mother suggested to my cousin that maybe hearing some of her favorite music in her final moments would be good for her and make passing on easier. My cousin asked if she really believed she could still hear them and my mom said she did so my cousin played this song on her phone and laid the phone next to her head on the pillow. She passed on before it finished playing.
To me he has more emotion in his voice than almost any other male country singer, and thats saying alot. He makes it seem so easy, yet he still hits me hard in the feels when he sings. An all time great country voice.
Probably one of country music greatest. Extremely underrated. He put his entire heart and soul in his music. You can actually feel the music deep inside your body. He left us way too soon. His music could make a cowboy shed tears. Fortunately his music will be around forever.
You know I was sitting in my car while my wife was shopping and I sang this..a lady stopped next to me and thanked me for singing it, she was crying and did it was so beautiful, her mom listened to KW quite often, made me feel kinda cool that someone else was appreciating his song.❤❤
Most definitely! Tim McGraw sung this at a Pittsburgh concert a few years back. Said it was one of the most influential songs for his music he could credit.
Kenneth Marks thanks for agreeing with me on Keith Whitley thanks William mccloud the number one the king of COUNTRY music singer number one and always will be number one in COUNTRY music singer
I sang this at work and a lady said "that is absolutely beautiful" I said trust me look up Keith Whitley I cannot do it justice his voice was like no other almost transcending
Me too, thanks... Happy New Year from my family to yours, I wish you all the best in the New Year 2023. I hope that the coming year is full of amazing opportunities and experiences for you.
Goodness Ms. Mary....yur beautiful!....If I buy a Superman outfit can we hang out?!?!.....lol.....God bless u....(& my sincere apologies if yur a Mrs!!!!

Great for u Mrs. Mary!!!....& also, no disrespect meant towards your hubby!!....I pray that y'all have a blessed marriage & life!...If u don't already do so, pray together & read God's Word together...combat the enemy together!!....God bless!
This song was sang deep from the heart ❤️ Ive been in recovery and will celebrate 8 years on January 21st. I can relate to his struggles with addiction. Through my time of self discovery and going through the physical/ Emotional sobriety, I have to say that there's very few artists that helped me through the hard times .. but Keith's story and his music inspired me to continue to "keep fighting the good fight." All is not lost, Your Victory is just beginning." I still take it one day at a time ❤ & I'm so grateful to have a 2nd chance at life again 💯❤️
He always asked me not to close my eyes or wear sunglasses for the simple reason he loved seeing his reflection in them. He's gone now but one day I will see him again ❤
There will never be another voice like Keith Whitley's voice. His voice had a richness and feeling that has never been heard before or since. There have been great singers and great voices that have graced country music, but nobody ever sang like Keith Whitley. RIP
You sir are exactly right. Keith Whitley had a true gift from God and was taken way too soon from us. He had so much more to give us but it was cut way too short. RIP Keith Whitley.
His and Lori Morgan's son sounds a lot like his Daddy. His voice is just a little bit rougher than Keith's but other than that they sound a lot alike. Especially when he sings the song his Dad wrote "Tell Lori I Love Her"
Beautiful voice Keith , and a tear in my eyes for the lyrics and memoirs of what cauld have been for many . The saying' better to have loved and lost ..than not to have loved at all . x Such is life my dear friends x
Keith Whitley would have been a superstar if it wasn’t for his demons. But he will always be remembered for the amazing music he made in his short life. This song may have been his best.
I lived through the 90s singing these words to many beautiful women as we danced the nights away. Thank you Keith, my friend... for the memories. My friends have died one by one, alcohol takes some, drugs take some, bad health and carelessness. None of us are immortal. I guess I'm no stranger to the rain.
We lost the one and only Keith Whitley 33 years ago today 9, May 1989 😢🙏🏼🕯️✝️🕯️🙏🏼 He absolutely had a one in a million singing voice 🎤🎶🎸 that his fans will never forget.
I am a 12 year old boy that grew up listening to 80s and 90s country, and a little rock. Keith is one of my all time favorite singers, and I will never stop playing his stuff
Listen to a song by Vince Gill, Allison Krauss and Ricky Skaggs that was sang for him after his death called “go rest high on that mountain”. If you live this, you’ll love that!!
Keith could have been among the greatest country artists ever. It just wasn't meant to be. Thank God for the sample we got. A great talent. RIP Mr. Whitley...
Wish that he didn't cut his life so short he had everything going for him lost him to soon to alcohol poisoning at the age of 33 years old when he passed away his music will always lives on forever
@@cnc90210 i can too lost him to soon to alcohol addiction at the age of 33 years old when he passed away his music will always lives on forever my favorite COUNTRY music singer and always will be
Sad to say the music they play today will be called "Classic Country" 20 years from now. I'm so glad I grew up to 80's and 90's Country... I'd give anything to go back to those days.
I was born early 2000's but I grew up with real country. If people forget this beautiful music- it's their own loss 🤷♀️ sad to say that preservation isnt exactly easy with my generation... stubborn (and pretty hateful) I'd say I'm one of the only kids I know that has a listens to this: much less maintains a traditional mindset
Joe Dirt one the best songs describing my era is Mark Wills, 19 something. It’s probably not one I think about when I think about my favorite songs/artists (I can never decide between Conway Twitty and The King of Country, George Strait, and of corse, Reba!) but whenever I see or hear someone talking about how they miss the music they grew up, that one always comes to mind.
I can't believe some of the beautiful music that this man wrote. What a talented man he was. RIP Keith...we still have your music but I wish you were still here writing these beautiful songs for us.
I've drank to Keith more times than I can count .. Ain't nothing like the pain of losing a relationship with someone you love.. Even if you were the one that had to leave... Cheers 🍻
The most brutally honest song I've ever heard. Keith Whitley was a masterful artist, and is missed by many. RIP Keith, and thanks for sharing your musical talent with us.
Absolute perfection! Played this at our wedding reception! Such soul and depth! My husband and I love this song. One of the best songs I have ever heard! You are truly missed sir. RIP. Alcohol is totally a sad deceiver!
Shame he died so young. I think he would have been crowned the king if he lived longer. We can keep his memory alive at least, as long as people remember him.
My dad cried when he passed away . I have seen my dad cry not to many times . Thanks for the music. RIP
so did I… Keith sang with such emotion… his voice was literally unbelievable.
Rest In God’s Peace and Love Keith 🙏🏼✝️🕯🕊🙏🏼

Sorry to hear
Most sincere condolences
Sorry for your loss but a great memory
😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏
😢Music will take you right back to those Sundays and you can reflect on those precious memories. Sorry for your loss.. May God bless you and your family ❤
A old man on the beach sing this song last night.. Thanks granfa
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
This is one of the most heart-wrenching feelings.Of course i'm gonna rap watching somebody that you're desperately in love with being in love with and hurt over somebody else
Empathy is part of it but there's a word for us and it's nothing to be ashamed of.
90 I'm 38 years old I was born in 1985 8941 I know I don't get to have a girlfriend now and I can't have one❤😢
This was on in the background when Keith blackened one of Lorrie's eyes with a whiskey bottle.
Don't you ever doubt that fact my music loving friend
Sometimes, It’s not the song that makes you emotional. It’s the people and things that come to mind when you hear it. 😚
I am there
Handsome boy
100% agree its the person and the memories 😢

Prob the greatest voice in country music. He’s up there with Vern godsin.

Your Correct ya can tell he feels his lyrics and music when he sings
I've listened to so many tear jerking songs in my life I thought I ran out of tears lol

Truly a timeless song... KW's voice is classic and pure. He was the gold standard.
Play dont close your eyes

My great aunt passed away yesterday and Keith Whitley was her favorite. Moments before she passes my mother suggested to my cousin that maybe hearing some of her favorite music in her final moments would be good for her and make passing on easier. My cousin asked if she really believed she could still hear them and my mom said she did so my cousin played this song on her phone and laid the phone next to her head on the pillow. She passed on before it finished playing.
Rest In Peace Keith Whitley. I love his voice.
72 years old and crying listening to this wonderful 😢man who is only here in his music. So sadly missed
❤❤🎵

@@deerhunter4585 I don't think soulmates ican ever get over each other... Im sorry for your loss
Such a wonderful voice and such a sad loss
To me he has more emotion in his voice than almost any other male country singer, and thats saying alot. He makes it seem so easy, yet he still hits me hard in the feels when he sings. An all time great country voice.
Yes! Exactly. This song plays in my head every so often and I just have to hear his voice
He’s not only singing it, he lived it. It’s gut wrenching to me to hear so much pain in his voice, and know all the heartbreak behind it
Such beautiful music.makes me CRY.xxxxxx
I feel so bad for what music we could have had from him if he hadn't have passed away at such a young age. Always remember to drink responsibly.
Very Nice Comment,U made. Mr. Smith. I agree wirh you. He ,Sure Does,Have a Beaut. Voice.& Sings Beautifilly.& Divine. Also.
Probably one of country music greatest. Extremely underrated. He put his entire heart and soul in his music. You can actually feel the music deep inside your body. He left us way too soon. His music could make a cowboy shed tears.
Fortunately his music will be around forever.
I always enjoy what you share here on UA-cam but we're not friends yet, I will love to be friends with you.. so how are you feeling today..?
You know I was sitting in my car while my wife was shopping and I sang this..a lady stopped next to me and thanked me for singing it, she was crying and did it was so beautiful, her mom listened to KW quite often, made me feel kinda cool that someone else was appreciating his song.❤❤

Oh by the way, I'm not Doreen, I'm her Dad on he account.
Alot of people don't want to admit but there is one person in thier life they will always treasure!!!
Truth ❤️
I know I do. He passed away before I could see him again. We were 16. I'm now 58. My heart hurts sometimes

So true. Even undeserved and irrational. You can't help who you love.

Loved this song when it first came out in the 80's, still love it just as much today.
It is amazing how people from different countries and different interests unite in love for this song

This "Cuckold song"?
Hell Yeah Brother 💪💯 you said it
Most definitely! Tim McGraw sung this at a Pittsburgh concert a few years back. Said it was one of the most influential songs for his music he could credit.

I sang this at work and a lady said "that is absolutely beautiful" I said trust me look up Keith Whitley I cannot do it justice his voice was like no other almost transcending
About the time I fell in love with his music, he was gone but I still listen to what I have. I love listening to him and Lorrie Morgan sing together.
💯👊🏼
Don't give up .
Check out his son, Jesse Keith Whitley. He performs with his mom quite often it seems.
I could listen to this beautiful music 24 hours a day. Keith Whitley was the best. Wish he was here today.. love his music.

Keith whitley is a legendary singer and always well be rest in peace love his music and love the song the song brings so much tears to my eyes
This song was sang deep from the heart ❤️ Ive been in recovery and will celebrate 8 years on January 21st.
I can relate to his struggles with addiction. Through my time of self discovery and going through the physical/ Emotional sobriety,
I have to say that there's very few artists that helped me through the hard times .. but Keith's story and his music inspired me to continue to "keep fighting the good fight."
All is not lost, Your Victory is just beginning."
I still take it one day at a time ❤ & I'm so grateful to have a 2nd chance at life again 💯❤️
😢
Keith passed way too soon. I loved his voice when he first came out. What a tragedy such a treasure was lost.
Agreed
one of the best vocalists in ANY genera of music ever!!!
Be hard to argue probably the best
Always and forever. A masterpiece.
What a beautiful song !!
I think EVERYONE can relate to this kind of sorrow.❤️
One of the greatest country singers gone too soon.
Yes your right my god what a lovely singer gone not for gotten
Cecil C. Hearndon amen brother!!
Cecil C. Hearndon yes
Cecil C. Hearndon absolutely I agree 💯 percent! I just love this song .👍
Cecil C. Hearndon true very true we lost Keith Whitley to soon to alcohol poisoning at the age of 34 years old when he passed
He always asked me not to close my eyes or wear sunglasses for the simple reason he loved seeing his reflection in them. He's gone now but one day I will see him again ❤
Kieth Whitley wil always one the greatest.His gift o a voice to move you. lost too soon but never forgotten
There will never be another voice like Keith Whitley's voice. His voice had a richness and feeling that has never been heard before or since. There have been great singers and great voices that have graced country music, but nobody ever sang like Keith Whitley. RIP
Hello dear
You sir are exactly right. Keith Whitley had a true gift from God and was taken way too soon from us. He had so much more to give us but it was cut way too short. RIP Keith Whitley.
@@frankmaxfield7025 kindly drop your gmail so that we can chat more better on hangout..... 36rosariomendez@gmail.com
His and Lori Morgan's son sounds a lot like his Daddy. His voice is just a little bit rougher than Keith's but other than that they sound a lot alike. Especially when he sings the song his Dad wrote "Tell Lori I Love Her"
My mom and I loved his music back in the day, I wish they were both still here!
That voice! So gifted. RIP Keith.
Beautiful voice Keith , and a tear in my eyes for the lyrics and memoirs of what cauld have been for many .
The saying' better to have loved and lost ..than not to have loved at all . x
Such is life my dear friends x
So sad if you truly have love in your heart for someone.....it's still there for the rest of your life no matter what.
Hello friend 🌹
Keith Whitley would have been a superstar if it wasn’t for his demons. But he will always be remembered for the amazing music he made in his short life. This song may have been his best.
❤️
Love this song!
He was a superstar!!!
I love this song
I agree
I just discovered this artist, man singing with so much emotion, heart ake, such a class act. R.I.P. Keith
I always enjoy what you share here on UA-cam but we're not friends yet, I will love to be friends with you.. so how are you feeling today..?
I had the honor and privilege of standing on that very stage exactly where the Stars stand I am so blessed
I lived through the 90s singing these words to many beautiful women as we danced the nights away. Thank you Keith, my friend... for the memories. My friends have died one by one, alcohol takes some, drugs take some, bad health and carelessness. None of us are immortal. I guess I'm no stranger to the rain.
We lost the one and only Keith Whitley 33 years ago today 9, May 1989 😢🙏🏼🕯️✝️🕯️🙏🏼
He absolutely had a one in a million singing voice 🎤🎶🎸 that his fans will never forget.
He died in 1989. Making it 33 years in May 2022.

It’s not acceptable for an adult to randomly contact kids, asking about them. ITS DISGUSTING! Stop it now!
His voice is what made this song perfect
The Voice brought me here. Now I want to learn everything about this man and his music.

Semi Country Living Have you heard Jake Worthington cover it on The Voice? He’s amazing!
The Official Andy Saenz Absolutely Andy, Jake’s version is my favorite besides the original.
Semi Country Living so do i... and, From Brazil! We love The Voice!!
Listen to a song by Vince Gill, Allison Krauss and Ricky Skaggs that was sang for him after his death called “go rest high on that mountain”. If you live this, you’ll love that!!
This is country. Not the bs on the radio now. Don’t even get me started.
Relax
I agree the pop is so overated
Jacob McCoy honestly tho
Today artist are better then these trash y'all call classic
Keith could have been among the greatest country artists ever. It just wasn't meant to be. Thank God for the sample we got. A great talent. RIP Mr. Whitley...
Wish that he didn't cut his life so short he had everything going for him lost him to soon to alcohol poisoning at the age of 33 years old when he passed away his music will always lives on forever
The pain was overwhelming for him. I. Can feel and relate to that heart ache. 😭
@@cnc90210 i can too lost him to soon to alcohol addiction at the age of 33 years old when he passed away his music will always lives on forever my favorite COUNTRY music singer and always will be
@@cnc90210 thanks for the nice comment about Keith Whitley
34, actually. His record label and his gravestone got his birth year wrong. He was born in 1954 according to his birth certificate and passport.
I wished someone loved me like this
Sad to say the music they play today will be called "Classic Country" 20 years from now. I'm so glad I grew up to 80's and 90's Country... I'd give anything to go back to those days.
Amen brother.
I was born in88 and still listen to the real country music not this new crap
I was born early 2000's but I grew up with real country. If people forget this beautiful music- it's their own loss 🤷♀️ sad to say that preservation isnt exactly easy with my generation... stubborn (and pretty hateful)
I'd say I'm one of the only kids I know that has a listens to this: much less maintains a traditional mindset
Joe Dirt one the best songs describing my era is Mark Wills, 19 something. It’s probably not one I think about when I think about my favorite songs/artists (I can never decide between Conway Twitty and The King of Country, George Strait, and of corse, Reba!) but whenever I see or hear someone talking about how they miss the music they grew up, that one always comes to mind.
@Chris Russell I can understand that
Im sure we all think about someone we miss when this song is on. Hands down one of my favorite country artists of all time, RIP Keith Whitley 🙏
The best

Another really talented man that we lost far too soon--alcohol and drugs have taken so many of our finest musicians, at such a young age. RIP, Keith.
I love this song n know i got to let this girl go that means the wourldto me
Make the right choice with your brain and not your heart as tough as it is bro.
Very sad to hear that. He has the look of innocence. I had no idea her passed or how he passed. I adore this song.
Sings effortless like elvis
amazinggrace926 he died from alcohol poisoning at the age of 34 years old when he died
No one else can sing this song with this emotion. And I'm not that much into country but I love this song.
I can't believe some of the beautiful music that this man wrote. What a talented man he was. RIP Keith...we still have your music but I wish you were still here writing these beautiful songs for us.

Melissa Franklin i look like him and live near where hes from.i have my hair growing out lookin jus like his
Shame he died so young. I think he would have been crowned the king if he lived longer. We can keep his memory alive at least, as long as people remember him.
I agree
