@@inkslingordiein all honesty Keith had already became the King of Country. Thing is he really didn't start receiving his flowers until the last 2 years of his life George hit the scene in 1981 Keith had been doing his thing since 1970 doing bluegrass and then joining JD Crowe and the new south. Don't get me wrong I love George to death he is the man.. but George can't hold a candle to Keith as far as singing there is no comparison in those 2 voices. Fun fact does Fort Worth ever cross your mind was a Keith Whitley song that was later given to George... if Keith had lived he would've held the title..
The Statue is an amazing tibute to Keith Whitley, I Love his voice, and I still Listen to his songs. Thank you for the songs Mr. Whitley..And Thank you for this video ♥
My favorite of his. You can still hear the emotion on that song. None better. Glad he was finally inducted into COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME . should have happened while he was alive
Absolutely I love Keith Whitley he is my favorite I played his CD in my car until it absolutely would not play no more I got to get another one I could never get tired of listening to him
No one can ever come close to Keith, man was and always will be a legend who blessed the earth and country music, proud to be born and raised in Kentucky not far from their
Keith Whitley had one of the most wonderful purest voices ever like Alan Jackson&George Straight. Don't Close Your Eyes&When You Say Nothing At All will always be my favorite songs of Keith's every time I listen to those songs it touches my heart&tears will come to my eyes because of his voice it's a shame he was taken too soon,RIP Keith Whitley 😢🙏🌹🕊
Forever and ever amen❤. My daddy was a musician in his younger years. He’d sit for hours strumming the guitar on the edge of the bed singing that song to me. It will always be my favorite.
One of my favorite country singers growing up. Loved his voice and style. Still listen to him today. Glad I found your music as well. I believe your star bound. Just stay grounded as you go.
I'm from Miami, FL and I was born in the Caribbean. I'm in my 50's and recognize as black. Keith Whitley made me love country music and I'm his biggest fan in Miami. I started listening to country music because of him. He was and still is the best. I blast his music whenever I'm listening to it in the car or at home.
Totally agree... Keith was an amazing fellow... One of the greatest performers in country music, and a life cut way to short. His music will live forever.
Don’t close your eyes is a beautiful song. Yes, his voice is great!! I had forgotten he was from my home state of Kentucky, but since my car accident I do forget a lot. Thanks for reminding me.
Keith WHITLEY was is and always will be the greatest country singer of all time they will never be another never has been there isn’t… Took Nashville way too long to put him in the Hall of Fame
Damn shame He couldn't beat the demons that haunted Him! He is missed by Those of Us Who will always remember the good He left behind! Rest in Peace at last!
You took the words out of my mouth, "he had the best voice, to grace this earth." Hey. Thank you kindly for sharing this memorial statue. I realize he passed in 1989.
I think he has a great voice too!! I remember the top 50 every week would play on Sunday mornings an$ I heard “don’t close your eyes” I said out load that song is going to be #1 and it did within two week and it stayed there either two or three weeks. I nearly cried when I head he passed on.
""KEITH WHITLEY NEVER-REALLY DIED, ""TO SAY-HISNAME AGAIN HE WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE AGAIN-WITH-IN THEONES THAT-LOVEDHIM AND THE-COUNTRY-MUSIC COMMUNITY""!!!!!!
Keith would of been the king of country music if he had of lived in my opinion. He can speak to your soul. Kentucky has the best. #easternky #606 #wolfecounty
I love Keith’s music, I sang “When You Say Nothing At All” to my wife on our wedding day so Keith Whitley’s music will always have a special place in my heart. “I’m Over You” is probably about my favorite but I’ve never heard one from Keith Whitley that I didn’t like.
