I'm surprised at how many Keith Whitley fans I've met. That are totally unaware of the full extent of his career in music. Prior to breaking into main stream country. He'd been performing since he was just a child. His bluegrass band was so good. Ralph Stanley came to see them. It was history from then on.
My Mama dearly loved Keith Whitley when he was a 90's Country Sensation. He was Awesome as a Country Star. I wish I could have shown her this video when he was in Bluegrass. She passed away in '97.
