Only Keith Whitley can sing Keith Whitley. He is untouchable and will never be replaced but i guess for Chris Young's cover on this song probably gets 2rd place under Alan Jackson. Keith would still no doubt be smiling down on to this guy for what he did here. I can't believe that this was in 2011. Time sure flies even when the boss calls for a meeting.
Great job Chris, I used to work with Keith Whitleyand Lorrie Morgan when I work for TNN& Hee-Haw, back in the mid 80’s. Just wanted to say you did an AWESOME job and Keith would be very proud!!
I have NEVER heard a more BEAUTIFUL rendition of this song in my life. Chris Young, you truly have a God given gift. I wold LOVE to hear some more old school throw back country with your own personal touch on them… I personally think you'd set the bar so high, nobody would dare try them again.

Time to go to bed – everybody's starting to sound like Randy Travis.
That's a good voice . This is my favourite song .. every word's at this lyric, it's very touching and meaning full ..
Ever since Nashville Star, Chris young has been real country music. Good job Chris! You knocked it out of the park!
The T-Pain of country….So much freaking autotune
He's the best cover…but will never top Keith
+slimcavin Keith whitley died in a plane crash not alcoholism
that is really a lovely version and a great singer
Did Lorrie Morgan and Keith Whitley Date?

Chris Young is the most undervalued modern country artist by far. The man is sensational
What can I say love this song ….love a cowboy that can sing ………………..amazed seeing stars .let it be me xx
Chris Young has a great voice and performed this song great but can't beat the original. Kieth whitley was a to soon gone great.
I've always loved this song. I remember when Keith sang it back then….
I amshocked at this young mans voice, he sounds wonderful.I am now obsessed!!:)
