Keith Whitley ~ Wherever You Are Tonight

[@Whitleythe13th]

when this was a new song, I'd play it on a small radio station that I worked at back then and other song's as it were... we had a list program to go by but could put in rotation what we wanted to, as long as the commercial spots were on time... good memories...freedom of radio back then...

[@lanarichardson1112]

KEITH Whitley, I miss your face, voice, love you give us all.

[@dannyrussell5179]

THE MAN, the true definition of what real country sounds like. All these boys today, try to take some notes, just pure, raw talent. GONE BUT CERTAINLY NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!

[@BentleyLewisMusic]

the man never cut a bad song. But, this - this is his best piece of work in my opinion. To boot - he wrote it.

[@k.benjamanficf6938]

Songs are in number just like the stars in the sky. This song is still my favorites and Keith Whitley is in every one of my days.

[@RawskoFPS]

This album needs to be put on to spotify. I miss this song!

[@rogerbarrett3718]

You can say that again!

[@KyleReese26]

Roger Barrett This album needs to be put on to spotify. I miss this song!

[@1nonlybrady]

And iTunes

[@randomguy1882]

Yes, I am upset this isn't on Spotify! I made a playlist on Spotify of Keith Whitely's best songs, specifically for the purpose to have burned onto a CD by a company on Etsy. This song was one of the songs I wanted on my CD. But I did a search at Spotify for the song and they didn't have it! Why do they not have it??? I see you pointed this out in your post you made 6 years ago, but how can it be that it is now 6 YEARS LATER since you made your post and Spotify STILL does not have this song?? Anyways, I went ahead had the rest of my playlist burned onto a CD. But it unfortunately didn't have this great song on it because, for some unknown reason, Spotify still refuses to put this song into their system.

[@lizobyrne7359]

Absolutely the most beautiful song that I've ever heard. After hearing his name a few times, I looked him up about 2 months ago. Absolutely blown away by this man.His music goes clear to the core of your soul. He completely draws you into his songs through his emotional delivery!! I truly can't get enough of his music. Researched as much as I could on him. How does a man die of accidental alcohol poisoning, with no evidence of liquor bottles around and the house is neat and clean? Randy Hayes you need to get your old friends music out there for people like me who never new Keith Whitley. I am a year older then him. This man has influence so many singers to get into the music business! Why has the Country Music Hall Of Fame, snub such a brilliant singer/ songwriter of his caliber?

[@michaelcriner1628]

He drank 22 double shots of liquor in under two hours.

[@spking4149]

Unfortunately his body of work wasn’t big enough, his life was cut short by alcoholism and sadness. He lived these songs. I grew up around him and his family/friends. Wonderful man...but troubled soul...

[@margaritadominguez5757]

Keith Whitney is in the country music hall of fame I googled it

[@shereeford2909]

He had the most beautiful voice. I can honestly say I heard him many yrs ago live and he was fabulous. Its true...the good die young.

[@lanceobrien]

He really was one of the best...

[@conniewilliams6072]

My husband was a DJ in the 1990s on 93.7 the Dawg in Huntington wv. His call name was the ling haired country boy. We met by me calling requests on the radio. Married year later. He died but this song was like you would think made for us! Will always Love and miss you Van.

[@willwilliams291]

I live in Ashland, still remember the tri state area country stations of the 90s well. Blessings to you.

[@JASONMC-gd2pg]

A country love story if I ever heard one

[@rogerbarrett355]

This song is probably one of the most captivating songs anyone has ever recorded. From the second half of the second verse on, it becomes more captivating in a way I can't describe. And I like the hold in the tag of this song and its outro, not because it ends the song, but because it's so goddamn powerful! God bless you, Keith. You're forever in our hearts.

[@allenquintana1437]

In college at NMSU, I was a disc jockey for KRWG FM, as part of my Journalism degree. I so enjoyed this. I did not know that we were looked upon as "Heroes of the Night".....because we responded to songs the dorm girls requested. It was important to them. They did not know my face, as Whitley sings, nor did they know much about us personally. But for those evening moments in time,..... and for them, we come through. No one of us DJ's really realized this at the time,......we grew into the feelings they had. Do not forget, we could not "see her faces" either,.......but it's kind of like having light love on the phone,....for a few minutes. And maybe they will call again tomorrow night,....wherever they are. Bless all of you for the past memories,....and now, .....in our later years, I bestow a tribute to some innocent, intimate moments for the both of us. Love you tonight,...........and always. Allen

[@christinerandenberg4076]

This is a GREAT CD. My go to sounds.

[@rogerbarrett3718]

My favorite country singer of the '80s will always be Keith Whitley. No doubt about it.

[@siranthony9292]

One of my all time favs … His wife did a version that’s good too .. but hard to beat this one !❤

[@rogerbarrett935]

I believe Keith Whitley was, and still is, a very influential performer. Mr. Whitley, this song goes out to you, wherever you are tonight.

[@dorisfilion4276]

I'm shure he's in heaven right now jamming with all the other greats & having a blast!🎸🎤

[@misslantana52]

Oh my, this is a beauty! Keith was amazing, sad he has passed on.

[@chesterwatkins2673]

A talent for the ages...

[@tinakeeling1354]

Great singer n nobody will ever be able to compete to this man's great voice and stand tall as Keith Whitley 😎 love his music 🎶 and wished he was still alive today ❣️🕊️

[@billyvotaw431]

It’s so hard to pick a favorite Whitley song. Every one of them is a jewel.

[@lizobyrne7359]

I just discovered Keith Whitley about 3 months ago. Amazing artist who could sing the encyclopedia and we would fall in love with it. Not only is he mega talented, but very handsome. I have read everything that, I could get my hands on about this man. Am I the only one that questions things in his life. I would love to pose them to his good friend Randy Hayes, if I could post them privately. Any who, why aren't people burning up the airwaves with request to hear his songs, this keeping his memory front and center . I request his songs constantly on here and on Alexa. We need to get him in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Start buying up his music again. This song is so beautiful! Talented beyond belief.

[@annieaston2726]

What in his life are you refering to his privite life i assume

[@donnasmith8301]

His life may be gone but his voice will never be.

[@billieunderwood8328]

This is the best song he has recorded. very emotional and beautiful..love it!

[@glennmorris371]

I agree.. This should have been massive.

[@garyparsons5611]

Folks,,just think of the songs he could have now it would blow are minds.We miss you Mr voice!!

[@rogerbarrett5422]

Keith Whitley has sung some great songs in his life, but I believe that Wherever You Are Tonight, to me, is his very finest!

[@Kepi_Kei]

I think he would have been a legend had he lived. Great songwriter, wonderful voice. So sad. Keith, we hardly knew you.

[@JohnnyEla]

Yeah he’s easily the best ever!!! No1 can match his talent.

[@bensmith6321]

The man will live forever. We miss you Keith

[@kimaddysmom5124]

This song and that beautiful one of a kind voice. A true legend. Wow

[@rogerbarrett504]

During the second verse I feel the magic of this song. From the second verse to the song's outro! Mighty fine tune!

[@Acelachaser1965]

I love this song for three reasons… 1) it’s Keith Whitley 2) I was an overnight DJ at a country radio station back when Keith still had songs on the radio. A sad day to see the news wire when he died. 3) I did meet the girl who used to call at 2 AM requesting love songs. We would talk all night. Things didn’t work out, but we’re still friends and chat on Facebook.

[@nancycoulter8829]

Beautiful Still Waiting On That Call♥️

[@KarenKayAuthor]

I love this song, too. There was a demo of this song, that I liked even better than this version, but I can't find it on the internet anymore. Beautiful. The waltz, Leave Well Enough Alone, is also one of my favorites. Am so glad that some of his demos were put into an album. Like others here, I sure do wish he were still with us.

[@AheadTAMADrummer]

This is powerful.

[@brandonhudson9952]

I just heard this song a few days ago for the first time! I’m almost 40 and can’t believe I’ve never heard this!

[@daviddeaton1575]

It's really amazing how great of a voice Keith had and to believe he is not in the hall of fame Just shows you who's running that place Its really sad

[@conniewinters9773]

What a meaningful nice song Lol!!

[@donnasmith8301]

Would have definitely had more number one hits than George strait could ever dream of. Even when he died he was giving George strait a run for his money and a damn good one. You know you're good when George strait turns your songs into number ones. Just like he did with nobody in his right mind and with does fort Worth ever cross your mind

[@lizobyrne7359]

Forgot that I already posted here. Just passionate about this man for some reason. Even though he had an alcohol problem, which I get, mainly because someone very close me did. Very lucky that my close " someone" went to rehab in Minneapolis, Minnesota like Keith did and is now a recovering alcoholic for 11 years now. Not basically judging but, but if the love of my life died tomorrow, I wouldn't be back out on the road singing 3 days after I buried him or singing a tribute song 3 months later without tears in my eyes. Let alone dating shortly there after. I've been married to the same man for 45 1/2 years. If someone's your soulmate or love of your life how does one move on so quickly? Just wondering.

[@donnasmith8301]

Either that means Keith Whitley never died which is highly unlikely or like you said with Lorrie Morgan messing around she was a heartless piece of crap. Keith was far too good for her but he felt he needed a woman and therefore he went with her. You absolutely have some great points.

[@MultiBooty18]

thanks for the music ur good!!

[@AndyOdell-rt2do]

Just liven in your song Keith

[@donnasmith8301]

Sadly one of my favorite songs of his is this demo he never released he should have released it though the song is on display at the country music Hall of Fame and museum in Nashville but unfortunately he isn't there to tell us all about it.

[@williammccloud5579]

We lost Keith whitley too soon as well as john lennon and elvis Presley gone to soon

[@rogerbarrett504]

Supposing that he had gotten treatment for his addiction problems, he would probably have more #1 hits than Conway Twitty, who had 55 #1 hits to his name!

[@donnasmith8301]

Hell yeah

[@hudsonwright6506]

Idk, might’ve beat George Strait, I think he has or had 60

[@charliemanning4296]

Marriage with out trust is a killer it self.

[@richgrimmett9993]

There is no doubt in my mind that mister Whitley would have owned the 90s decade. I also believe he would have had more number one songs then George Strait. Because a lot of those George number one songs would have been number two. It's also my opinion if Keith had not died so young he would have been the Undisputed king of country. Also if Hank Williams had not died so young he would have been a tough one to knock off the perch. I believe it would have been a three-way battle for the Crown involving Hank Williams, George Jones end Keith Whitley. With Merle Haggard George Strait Conway Twitty and Johnny Cash close behind. RIP Keith Whitley, sorry you didn't get the help you needed, us fans miss you but to see the hurt and pain in your families eyes still some 33 years later, they missed out on you as a husband and father.

[@MrJaa358]

Strait is wayyyy overrated.

[@leadfoot1879]

For my best friend Mike Snyder, and my beloved Carmen....

[@rogerbarrett504]

God, this song is so fucking uplifting!

[@rogerbarrett355]

If I could invent a time machine, I'd take some people with me, we'd give Keith Whitley a good ass-whuppin' and we'd force him into rehab, like they did with Mr. Mackey on South Park! It's called "tough love", people! Sometimes we gotta show love in that kind of way. And then maybe, JUST MAYBE, Keith would remain sober forever and we could hear his music for just as long!

Okay, I have a stupid-ass question, but I hope someone can give me a smart answer. With his alcoholism the way it was, do you think it's safe to say that Keith Whitley was a "troubled man"? No offense. I post this in peace!

[@shaneraleigh1498]

Roger Barrett Definitely troubled. I think some people are born with a troubled, passionate mind. Mix in alcohol and people you love leaving.. That's a whole 'nother storm.

[@rogerbarrett5422]

Thanks for the reply! In more ways than one, Keith Whitley was like Elvis. Didn't sound like nobody, had God-given talent, was a great performer, was "knowingly self-destructive", lived hard and died young and is sadly missed but fondly remembered. Again, thanks for the reply.

Yeah.
