LORRIE MORGAN - DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES

[@vendanges3]

Lorrie Morgan is one of the best female Country music singers in the whole USA!

[@MrHusker1967]

I was there, that night, she will always have a special place in my heart, after all these years!

[@TheEd1957]

I can't say enough good things about Lorrie Morgan. She's had a great career and continues today. I love her music.

[@MrLobster1010]

You can feel the love in her voice and mannerisms. It is all so poignant and heartfelt.

[@tuneweaver2]

This is one of the greatest country ballads of all time and Lorrie does a beautiful job on it. It means even more considering Keith's iconic version.

[@AzFreebird1]

I never heard Lorrie sing this before. I think it's a great tribute to Keith. He was a magnificent talent with a big problem. Small minds will blame Lorrie for him drinking but seriously... you can't force someone to drink! Lorrie really does have a great voice. Thanks for posting this

[@augieforever2004]

Lorrie Morgan is one of my favorite singers. She can sing any song and make it awesome. I love this song.

[@musickluvrr]

One of the most beautiful women in the world, & a fantastic voice. Thanks for posting!

[@garyanderson1020]

Lorrie is so pretty on this video, and such a wondeful singer.

[@innis52carra]

She's A country music legend

[@oxuco]

I don't know how anybody can put down this video, Lorrie is beautiful and she sings preciously. Don't take offense bro', let the poor dawgs bark and you keep just on galloping....., whomever doesn't like this video is either tone deaf or blind or both. Thank you for posting it.

[@tantjies]

Somebody will always have something negative to say. Just because they can't be as good as her or the band.... So sad that people have to leave negative comments. But you can't please all the people all the time. I love it. I have listened to this song a million times. I should practically own the song by now. I have downloaded so many times to listen to. Lol. Awesome. Brilliant. Sensational. Wowzers. Thank you for sharing this video. Lots of love from the uk. Ex south african.

[@TexasDoodleBug3]

Thank you very much your Tania, I greatly appreciate it a lot! You are awesome! :)

[@ralphhross]

Beautiful song and of course it was her husbands song too. Wonderful, THANKS

[@slyng2000]

She has the most beautiful voice!! Just love her.

[@Huntinbear]

I don't know how she had the power to do it! ... God Bless Her!!! I'm still crying from my sister's death and it's been over 8 months.

[@743Elizabeth]

Lorrie You sang that song beautiful brings tears to my eyes

[@natava1]

What a beautiful lady and singer. I remember her videos she made in the early 1980's and while looking for it, I'm finding many other awesome ones.

[@nicole5of7]

Thank you for sharing this video of Lorrie Morgan singing her husband's song, TexasDoodleBug3. She did a beautiful job honoring him. I wonder if it was as healing for her to sing his song as I'm sure it was painful. I love Lorrie Morgan and I have a lot of her cd's and her autobiography. It's so sad that Keith Whitley died so young. He had so much talent and could sing beautifully. With their singing careers, both Keith and Lorrie were destined for greatness, especially together. I believe Keith was her soulmate and she'll be with him again someday and they'll sing together for eternity.

[@yvonneseewald6459]

What a beautiful lady Lorrie is with an amazing voice. What a gift she has,sings like an angel..

[@gailcoleman2156]

Love her!!! She is awesome!!

[@bobbyhoneycutt4191]

amazing voice an talent truly one of the best

[@TexasDoodleBug3]

I will not be approving any comments that are disrespectful in nature to Lorrie Morgan, If you feel you have a make such a comment like that you can take it elsewhere. I'm a fan of Lorrie's, and Keith's as well I will always be a fan!

[@Humankind70]

Lovely song, I've not heard of this lady but she's got a lovely clear voice... Sharing. Thank you😀

[@princessofhesse]

it was a great loss to so many of us who loved him, and moreso to his family. His demons just overtook him.

[@PetPoison]

Keith Whitley was just an awesome guy... Lorie loved him with all of her heart... I sing his music in karaoke... This is one of the songs I sing... He will always live in me...

[@trapchocan]

Me and the wife saw them this past weekend in Calgary she sang this in the middle of their set. Brings chill to my spine but could do without her 'Fro-Let!

[@rubyhall3074]

I think she's amazing....Just love her songs

[@robertwright2852]

Love all things Lorrie. Thanks for the upload. Keep 'em comin'.

[@janayelawson3481]

I think she is beautiful, Love her voice and Keiths, very sad...wish she would record some more, thanks for posting, never saw her sing this...

[@Doniedaff]

This must have been really difficult and emotional for her to sing. Respect.

[@theresabollman8061]

Twerry Garrett, yes you are right. Glad she did it as he did. Beautiful.

[@Mopar21277]

wow, didn't know that the amazing Lorrie ever sang this song (1 of the Top 5 of all time IMO) by her late, great husband, amazing!

[@ericstanley9867]

keith whitley greatest all time ,,,,I listen to him everyday

[@TexasDoodleBug3]

I'm really really really tired of all the negative comments for this video and about Lorrie if you can not have some respect for my channel and the video's I post I will disable all comments for this video. I hope I have made myself perfectly clear!

[@sivlenora100]

I just read the comments and didn't find any derogatory comments about Lorrie. I'm a huge fan of hers and Keith for that matter. I know people write a lot of ignorant things about her on other videos I have seen. I dare say the majority of the comments are from women who are green with envy at posts regarding her phenomenal beauty and talent. Granted, most women aren't as well versed with the marriage routine as Lorrie is but life's not perfect nor are people. I for one thank you for putting this video on and would advise you to ignore the minority of small minds who for one reason or another can't appreciate Lorrie's talent.

[@TexasDoodleBug3]

sivlenora100 I know that you don't see any derogatory comments about Lorrie on my this video or any of my video's because I have them marked where I have to approve them first because there are a lot of ppl in the world that have made very derogatory comments about Lorrie and I have been huge fan of both Lorrie and Keith from day one. I thank you very much for very kind comment you welcome to comment anytime! :)

how beautiful thank you for sharing

[@DEBBIESAYSYES]

how beautiful thnak you for sharing

[@lewhite99]

Keith's death made us all loose. We lost without a doubt years of the best music that could have ever been recorded by along with George Jones the best male vocals, and with Lorrie a duet team that could easily matched George and Tammy. I just read Lorrie's book and like most, wondered if she was the cause of Keith's drinking. Always a fan of hers but now I know the truth.She told the truth the good and the bad but you could feel her love for Keith and she wrote with class! Lorrie is a classy woman with awsome vocals. I put her as far as talent with the Tammys, Dollys, and Lorrettas. Seen a couple of her families reality show then it was off. TV please put it back on. Love You Lorrie

[@Dragonflyy826]

Great tribute to her husband. He'd love this!

[@brithetie89]

Brian liverpool uk beautiful version all my country colleagues love laurie a and fellow musos x

[@bazthehandyman]

Stunning.

[@soloplaner6978]

Love this.

[@graham1527]

Would like to have heard Keith and Lorrie singing this live.

[@113presto]

She was a young mother with two children that needed a working parent. He was an alcoholic-- whom she never left-- because she said "he was good to me"-- yet she gets no credit for staying with a depressed, alcoholic that let her down many times. That doesn't make him a bad person-- he was in pain-- but that started long before her. But, she was good to him too. No one ever mentions how he was on the road as she gave birth to their first child. She wasn't Keith's sitter-- she was his wife. She had two young children to support-- and she was 30 years old with a record label pressuring her to perform-he should have understood that more than anyone. They lived in a small house with two little children- he was JUST making it-- I'm positive they needed the money. Give her a break-- no one put that bottle to his mouth but him. I'm sure that there is nothing that she regrets more than not being there- and people can blame anybody they like-- she can even blame herself. But in the end, we are all responsible for our choices-- he choose to booze, snort, and take pills. She didn't do that to him-- he did. there are no "lies"-she was working- like mothers that love their kids and their husbands do. What was he doing? Was he doing what fathers that love their kids and their wives do? She did the best she could at the time. That is the human condition--no one knows what is around the corner. God bless her and her babies.

[@3GreeneBJ]

Just come across this lady. What a singer; what a looker. If she's attracted trouble as seems to be the case, well I'm not surprised a bit! For this kind of show anything is OK by me. All those lucky lucky guys eh!

[@AlainCourville]

Is a very nice song :-)

[@TexasDoodleBug3]

@builder200381 It was after Keith passed, sorry I don't recall the air date of this Austin City Limits program..Thanks 4 your comment!

[@fish1648]

I like how lorrie sings this song but the duet with keith and Alison just kicks my butt

[@GrooveDoctor77Musician]

Just got to love Lorrie , ,

[@snicker9400]

this had to be after- i can feel her pain on his song- she was done-turned around and i bet she was crying at the end- the one man she truly loved - keep the faith lori- love will find away-- a .g.e.

[@opelpia]

Tar and feathers for those 13 who dislike this video ! Lorrie sings this classic song just as well as Keith did, they both are among my favourite artists.

[@coffeeman1126]

Looks like she had a bit of a hard time getting through the last lines. Guess the emotion was still pretty raw. Beautiful lady, wonderful voice. Thanks Lorrie.

[@Dreamscapessss]

I guess the only cover i would enjoy listening to, for this song of keith

[@billmilne2889]

Wish the present day females could sing like this.

[@laburks]

Love this video! Is Lorrie playing Keith's guitar? I'm wondering because it looks a lot like the guitar he's playing in the video of the same song: Keith Whitley-"Don't Close Your Eyes" (Live-1989)

[@johnwarren1174]

Lorrie is playing a Takamine. The guitar company has been around a while but Keith was a Fender Fan for electric guitars and for acustic guitars he leaned toward Martins and Gibsons. Keith, has a nearly life long frindship with Ricky Scaggs and they both played together in Ralph Stanly's Bluegrass band. Im pretty sure the Takamine guitar was not a popular item in the USA when Keith was alive. During the 80's, Takamine guitars looked and sounded so much like Martin Guitars, the Martin Corp. wrote a letter to Takamine, although no lawsuit was filed, Takamine changed the look of their acustic guitars to what is thier signature look today. I am 100% positive the guitar Lorrie is playing in the vidio did not exist when Keith died. On another note, I know Lorrie has some of Keith's guitars still.

[@starr522]

Lorrie was on the road when he passed. I ran into him out on Dickerson Rd the last night of his life. He was fine. Stone cold sober and alone. We waved and that was that. I was shocked but really not surprised when I heard the news on WSM later the following day. I really hate it when people comment that Lorrie and her ways killed Keith. Sorry folks, Keith' s ways killed Keith. What people don t know is that Keith' s agents had signed a list of show dates. Failure to appear clauses , pay back.

[@JDavid5040]

Excellent

[@theresabollman8061]

great song...but shouldn't she be saying..I know you loved HER? Keith sand I know you loved HIM? No matter, its still great,

[@newworldlubbock]

Lorrie and Keith were married. He died. She is giving honor to her late husband. Why change HIS song? Semantics aside...she does an awesome tribute.

[@amalone76]

breath taking

[@TexasDoodleBug3]

@nothinghumanlovesfor it was alcohol poisoning an alcohol overdose...Ty for your comment

[@unclenelvis]

do you know when this was recorded? after keith died I mean? she looks awfully sad but that could just be the song

[@TexasDoodleBug3]

Yes, It was just a little while after Keith's death. I'm sorry I'm not sure of the date though.

[@nothinghumanlovesfor]

@TexasDoodleBug3 what did he die of?

[@starr522]

Forgive me, this may take 2 or 3 post. For those that don t know, Alcohol addiction is as bad as crack addiction. I know because I walk in the shoes of alcohol addiction. Have for the past 30 years. But, on stage you would have never known it. I also ran across the alley on a few Saturday nights to have a few at Tootsies before or between shows. Yes, I was a singer with a couple of hits. Big damn deal in the grand scheme of things. I knew Keith. Not well, but to say hello when we saw each other.

[@princessofhesse]

she's been around a long while, Chuck.

[@rickpetzoldt1280]

IMO Lorrie does a very nice job with this song but I really believe it was meant to be sang by a guy with a deep voice. Maybe that is because I first heard it by Keith.
