Don't Close Your Eyes {Cover Song}Of Keith Whitleys Sang By: Shawn Downs

This Is One Of My All Time Favorite Keith Whitley Songs. This Is A Song That Really Put Keith Whitley On The Map! When Keith First Came To Nashville They Said He Was"Too Country" Etc. Well, When Its All Said And Done He Stayed True To His Country Roots & Got Everyones Attention. He Became Very Popular As A Singer, Songwriter ,& Musician But, Sadly Keith Died At Age 33 From Alcohol Poisoning. Keith Had Long Had A Drinking Problem, And He Had Many "Demons " That He Fought Sadly In The End They Got The Best Of Him. Keith Influenced A Lot Of Singers, Musicians,Writers With His Music. Its Fair To Say If Keith Were Still Alive Today He'd Be A Tough Act To Follow! He Had Grew Such A Fanbase Before His Death That Everyone Was So Shocked At The News Of His Death. Nashville Stunned As Well As Keiths Fans. Keith Died May 9, 1989 His Music Still Lives On In The Hearts Of His Listeners And A While Back Keiths Producer Said In An Interview His Greatest Hits Cd Goes Platinum Every Year Even After His Death. I Think Keith Deserves To Be In The Country Music Hall Of Fame For His Contribution To Country Music. Country Music Sure Lost Big When It Lost Keith May His Music Live On. So, I Do This Song To Honor My Hero, And Inspiration, The Man ,The Legend Mr KEITH WHITLEY DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES " LEGENDS NEVER DIE"
NO MONEYS BEING MADE FROM THIS SONG OR VIDEO.ITS DONE TO HONOR THE ARTIST WHOS MUSIC SINGING,SONGWRITING ETC HAS INFLUENCED ME AS A SINGER SONGWRITER AND MUSICIAN.
