Keith Whitley's widow, singer Lorrie Morgan, said she was struggling for the right words to include during her acceptance of his Country Music Hall of Fame medallion. She knew one thing however.
"He would feel so undeserving," Morgan shares, reinforcing a notion suggested earlier that his self-doubt was part of what led him to drink. Whitley died at age 33 in 1989. His membership into the Country Music Hall of Fame is a reminder of his long influence during such a short career.
"That was the wonderful thing about Keith," Morgan continues. "He was so one of us. He loved all these Hall of Fame members. He was such fans of everybody. The musicians - he loved the musicians, the songwriters."

Keith Whitley should have been accepted years ago. He one of the greatest singers who ever lived.
Don't Close Your Eyes was my favorite. Congrats to Keith and family.
Keith will never be forgotten, hugs Lorrie
I am so thankful CZcams keeps his songs alive.
Loved Keith's voice. His death saved my brother's life. He was a big fan Keith Whitley fan. My brother is an alcoholic. Keith was the same age and when he died from alcohol poisoning it woke my brother up. He went into rehab and hasn't had a drop since.
Excellent. Thank God
Praise the Lord!! I wish his family knew this!!
But sadly he picked up a heroin habit in rehab. So he got off the drink, but fell victim to the smack. Tragic... RIP
I wish my stepson had did that He was gone at 40
What a legend! Very deserving! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🤠
Keith Whitley was and Forever Will be my most fave Country Musician ever.. awesome Job Lorrie..
There will never be a voice like Keiths ❤
❤🎉 we all miss here now mr Keith Whitney
What an amazing honor even though he is not here physically to receive it. Keith Whitley will always be one of the greats in my eyes! So happy for his family!
Keith was Lorries true soul mate.
If he hadn't passed, they'd still be together. She did everything she could to try and save him from the terrible disease of alcoholism.
By her emotional speech it's obvious she has never gotten over his loss.
The pain is still there & it's heartbreaking.
Her name is beside Keith's on the same headstone. He was her forever here.
@@debroahisaacs2452 Yes I saw that and I hope her children will lay her to rest there. 🙏
Bless her heart. She needed to express this for decades.
Yes she sure did.
She HAS been expressing it for decades, bless her heart 🙄
Love you Lorrie prayers for you and your family, God bless you all
Lorie Morgan keith Whitley will always be remembered Keith will always be in my heart
I bought Keith Whitley's tapes back then. Truely one of a kind. As a now recovered Alcoholic when you know you know a kindred soul. It's not Good Bye ...it's we'll see you later .❤

Keith Whitley is a really great singer
Lorrie,sending you love and your whole family too.
Love you so much Lorrie!!! Love Your music is well!!! I listen to you and your music on SiriusXM prime country with your host: Mike Terry
Oh finally, I love it. He is hands down my favorite male country singer ever & so deserved this honor. And, I love Lori. She sang a song that I deciated to my late husband, a picture of me without you. I had to look up Miami, My Amy just to hear what she heard that special day.
I've always loved Keith Whitley, he was such a beautiful talent 💞
I know her pain 💔 we lost our oldest daughter in 2019
I'm so sorry no words can ever express my condolences God Bless
Beautiful tribute!🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️
Keith had a one of a kind voice. I would have loved to have heard what he would’ve saying in the last 30 something years if he had not have passed. I bet he would’ve gone on to be as big as Garth brooks. He was already a huge huge superstar by the time he died. Glad he’s in the Hall of Fame. Also, got a congratulate Jerry Lee! Jerry Lee is one of the finest of our time, since the day that he had the chance to begin his musical career!l😊
I Miss That Keith Whitley Music Every Gone Away To Soon But Not Forgotten
Rest In Peace Keith Whitley
It’s about time. Keith Whitley is country music. The hall of fame would not be a hall of fame without him.
Keith was and still is my all time favorite country music singer and he really deserves to be in the country music hall of fame. I instantly became a big fan of his when I heard the news that he died of alcohol poisoning on May 9, 1989. Well, keith you're finally home!
Don't close your eyes was one of my favorites if his.
I still play Keith Whitley CDs in the car. I usually play them through twice. He's not forgotten by his fans. Til A Tear Becomes a Rose, the duet with Lorrie, is one of my special favorites.
I love his music. It brings my to tears to hear it. Tell Lori I love her is one of my favorites. So happy he’s being remember for just how great he was and is.
I loved these 2. Such a beautiful couple.
He was a great singer and gone way to soon!!! R.I.P. Keith.
May the Lord have mercy on his soul!! So sorry for the loss!! 😞
I lost my husband of 45yrs. on 2-2-22...only dale could go to heaven on such a date.
I always love these 2. Lost my soulmate and three stepchildren.
I was and still am a Huge fan I still remember the day and what I was doing when i heard on the radio kieth had died
So tragic! Heartache, being heartbroken, I know that feeling and its horrible. My heart goes out to her, as well as my prayers.
I lost my best friend on April 15 2021 R.I.p Keith and my bestfriend brianna ratliff
He died way too young! I lost my soulmate way too young too! He deserves this honor!
Keith was a true legend. Gone way too soon. We all loved him.
Both having talents💯💕🙌🏻🎶
He had such a great voice and suffered an horrible addiction
Her one true love❤❤
I hate the fact that he’s no longer with Lorrie and his family. Thank God for his song’s and singing. He has been missed.
Great Achievement!
I have her CDs, great singer!
WHEN will the HOF EVER induct Johnny Rodriguez?! He is as deserving as anyone and more deserving than many.
I hope he does Soon!!!
Totally agree!
He deserves it he was a great guy and a great singer we went to school together at Sandy Hook High , Sandy Hook Kentucky his music lives on
Huge talent
so damn sad he went so young.
I’m a 37 yr old white male, and I grew up in country music. And I’ve always thought if you want to love a woman how a man should then you should listen to Keith Whitley songs.
When you say nothing at all
Don’t close your eyes
Etc.
I'm sorry for your loss I also lost my husband of alcohol in 2016 he was 44 so I do understand how your feeling.
Lorrie obviously loved Keith very much.
What is so sad, Keith belonged in there many years ago.
I lost a beloved husband of cancer of the spleen and comforted that we are eternal beings having a human experience, origins are consciousness part of divine consciousness, immortality of the soul.
But for the grace of God, there go I.
The best died young.... #HankPatsyAndKeith
Kieth , Randy , Merle, Lefty 4 Best
And I also loved my Miami my amy.
Thank Williams daughter died in a car crash that was sad also.
As a guy who truly followed Keith's career, I always felt Lorry going out of town when he was at his weakest, was partially why he drank himself to death that day. That's why my skin crawls everytime I hear lorry sing "when you say nothing at all". She should feel ashamed for accepting this award.
I understand I lost my wife we were together for 35 years
When you say nothing at all…
KW very worthy.......as for Lorrie.....can't take much of her. She has been through at least 3 husband's........hellcat??????hell catch???????
RIP
6 I believe. 🤷
@Shelly Terral crazy. Comes a time to just give up lol
You mean “Miz Boobs”? She’s milked being KW’s wife for years,
I'm sorry .
L made him drink. They had a very rocky marriage that no one cares to mention. He loved her beyond words. How she treated him was a disgrace.
Wow!! Such made up garbage!!! Listen to his own mum talk about his alcoholism starting when he was drinking as a very young teenage musical prodigy touring away from home& overseas with much older adult men in bands & overexposed to things too young!!
He was using alcohol to cope very early and with death of a brother etc etc. . He said himself he grew up with everyone drinking & how he always had terrible stage fright and poor self esteem . For chrissakes get the actual facts. Misogynistic to blaming wives & women etc for a guy messing up!! Imagine living with a real alcoholic . That would never have been easy or stable or calm or restful!! . Trying to have a normal life and family with that destabilising any event or occasion & disappointments & disillusion when he relapsed ! .. it ‘d ruin the best marriages and families .
He had love support and means to address his addiction. He had to own it like every other addict. She or family couldn’t have saved him any more than they all tried !!
It's sad that after all these years, the foolish and slanderous remarks about Lori is somehow still a thing
"Keith Whitley's widow" you mean Lorrie Morgan? 🙄🙄🙄
Lorrie Morgan and her father saw an opportunity and took it...
Please go back to singing Please
Whats sad is people are still dying of this disease
Lorrie Morgan caused his death. She was cheating on him. Keith drank himself to death because of her. This truth came from his parents. Keith told them she wasn't showing up to meet him.
Where did you read this?
It's sad that you're so miserable and pathetic that you choose to slander Lori Morgan
Morgan has milked being KW’s wife for years, too bad she wasn’t there when he needed her.
Met Keith, in Hamilton, Ontario, when he was playing with JD Crowe, and New South Bluegrass Group in 70s and he had a voice, that was one of the best around.
My wife of ten years has passed away we where together for twelve years married for ten years when I met her she was for years clean and sober the last three years of marriage she got back into meth and heroin and cheated on me several times and she was arrested several times one of these times she brought two men to rob me and beat on me because I quit inabiling her and her children we were raising was taken by D.C.F.S and placed in foster care I'm a truck driver so I'm home for a day and a half a week she had open heart surgery do to the drugs she started having strokes and heart attacks she divorced me to go live with her drug addict boyfriend homeless and we weren't divorced two years when she passed away on 27th of December 2021 we were married January 15th 2010 and divorced March 5th 2020 ....
