keith whitley legacy

[longfilly]

Keith Whitley had the most amazing voice and it was so tragic how he died, but he was human, and humans make mistakes...God rest his soul. I so loved the country music of the mid 80/s thru the 90's,,,I really dont like to listen to what they call country today..........that is sad too.

[Stone469]

he drunk himself to death..........the saddiest song you will ever hear is his last recording of TELL LORI I LOVE HER..........you can her him sluring his words........he was trashed...........but damn..............talk about a man who died way to young...........

[kathy2010spears]

He was the best,there is no doubt about it

[4theluvofpete]

Obviously, too many on here haven't a clue what talent Keith Whitley had, nor do you know anything about alcoholism. It knows no class, doesn't care who you are. Keith was not a low life, just rose to fame to fast and like the many that fell victim to drugs and alcohol, Elvis, John Belushie, Janice Joplin, Michael Jackson, and on and on and on, it got Keith...he died. But damn he could sing and will forever be remembered as one of the best in country music.

A legacy artist right up there with Steve Wariner in terms of talent and style.

That is a stupid comment. This guy had the most severe kind of alcoholism. He drank shampoo and perfume to get drunk. He was a small time guy who I think wasnt cut out for the spotlight. He is the best ever

[CarlthebigT1]

Fully did not appreciate the comment saying this idiot killed himself with booze. No sympathy. What's up with a comment like that, everyone faces trials and troubles in this lifetime. The only thing I can say and the only thing I feel the person who wrote that hurtful comment should think and say is: But for the grace of God go I.

[dbyrd812]

They dont and never will know the truth, I have held this for yrs but you SOB you should have just called..The mems...man they are hard..I regret the times I should have said something, now it haunts me...Hope your listening, and I know it wasnt meant to be, but damn...you should have said hello and called..Miss you Brother

[roosterbullet]

[pattywolford]

I think he was an extremely talented, sensitive, and passionate man, and thet Lori Morgan had more to do with his death than we will ever know.

[joaheb82]

[WDQNRadio]

Chilling statement at 2:37, looking back on the clip 20 years later. Yet, Keith's influence still lives on.
