I still stop whatever I'm doing when I hear "I'm No Stranger To The Rain" to take it in. He was THE voice of country music. Drinking may have been the death of Keith but hear's to you

He was poised to take over the country music world. Had both the musicianship and vocal talent that others wish they could have just one of. What a tragic unnecessary loss.

P. S Plus he was bangin' Lorrie Morgan

I get chills when I hear "I'm over You."


Had a chance to be one of the greatest but his life was cut way too short.

Seriously? Bluegrass/country singer who died in 1989 at age 33 of alcohol poisoning. First charted in 1984/1985 and was getting better and bigger with each subsequent album.

ETA: Miami, My Amy
Ten Feet Away
Homecoming '63
Don't Close You Eyes
and I'm No Stranger To The Rain (mentioned by OP)

Could have been so much bigger than he was. 'Brotherly Love' was a great duet with ETC.

Same here. It's a top 5 all-time county song as far as I'm concerned.
