Although Keith is one my personal favorite singers of all time, with something as subjective as music, there's no such thing as an absolute greatest. It's the same thing with any kind of art. There's no way to determine who the actual best painter is, or the actual best sculptor is. It may be possible to say someone is one of the best, but it's impossible to say anyone is the absolute best.

I came here from playing a FB game about country singers, called Dead or Alive. The game said that Keith died at age 33 and in 1989. I just wanted to know why he died so young. 3 of his songs I love but never knew who wrote and sang them. A couple months ago, I was on vacation in Virginia Beach, sitting in my car in a Harris Teeter (grocery store) parking lot. It was pouring rain and Keith's song, I'm no stranger to the rain, was playing on the radio. I love that song and enjoyed that peaceful moment. I took a video that I wish I could share here but...anyway, this video about him, his family, friends and fans, also his hometown, touched my heart. Thank you and may Keith and Courtney play on together💔💗

@joannherrman88955 жыл бұрын
Go Rest High on That Mountain" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Vince Gill. It was released in August 1995 as the sixth single from his album When Love Finds You. It is a eulogic ballad. Gill began writing the song following the death of country music superstar Keith Whitley, who died in 1989. Gill did not finish the song until a few years later following the death of his older brother Bob of a heart attack in 1993. Ricky Skaggs and Patty Loveless both sang background vocals on the record. @@ronniebishop2496

Today’s country sucks, honestly... there’s only so many songs you can write about tailgates, jacked up trucks, and beer drinking before it loses its fun... I pray country music writing goes back to the days of what Keith was singing about.. even though he didn’t write al of his songs, everything’s just become to cookie cutter these days cause it’ll get by.. when are we gonna get back to writing meaningful music people can actually relate to? It’s sad... Keith would be rolling over in his grave if he knew how Nashville is today...
