Using obscene language will get your comment denied & removed. Don't use it. Show us that you're educated enough to communicate your thoughts without using it. Those of you who have, thank you so much for the heartfelt comments and sharing with us what Keith meant to you. I really feel that 2009 is going to be Keith's year. I just know he's going to find his home either in Nashville or in Renfro Valley (not necessarily in that order). Keith Whitley is not dead, he lives on in us, and we are his voice now. He left the legacy, and we created the legend.

Keith debuts "Don't Close Your Eyes" on stage at the Opry. He is introduced to the audience by the legendary Grandpa Jones.

My eternal gratitude to Troy (waylonhoss), one of my all-time favorite people, for setting me up with the clip... almost 17 years ago.

To those of you who got here from the link on wsmonline.com, http://wsmonline.com/extra/extra07.shtml , welcome! It's an honor to have you!

    Oh, dear...I remember the day he died...I as in Hartford, Connecticut...all the stations broke in with the news.

    He was on top then..A-list Country. Sure, he was just a singer, but he moved the country world. Thank you for posting this.

  • I can't understand ...

    I can't understand something, Rcbremen1969. You come on here trashing Keith, saying Garth is king, that he's the best. And yet you have just as many Keith vids on your favorites as you do Garth vids. And one of those Keith vids happens to be this one. Where do you get off?

  • Hey "rockyPants4000 ...

    Hey "rockyPants4000" a loss is a loss no matter how you look at it. To have you come on here and make light of people's well intended comments is a very "self-destructive" approach to take! If you feel the need to preach, do not do it at the expense of my good friend's video. Keith lived a good, though short and troubled life...were we robbed...was it a loss..On either count the answer is yes no matter what the definition of the words used may be! If you liked Keith, you feel the loss as well!

  • You are entitled to ...

    You are entitled to your opinion, but if you're in love with Garth Brooks so much, then why are you here, and not watching some Garth video for the billionth time? Even Garth said Keith was one of his influences. Who are you, a Garth fan, to argue to Garth?

  • Don't close your ...

    Don't close your eyes, is a beautiful song! Definitely a missed talent. I was only 10 when he passed on, but i was glad my sister showed me his music. 19 years later his music still strikes a chord with me.
