As good a singer as Whitley was, the correct answer if Vern, all day long.

Vern seems to a special “sad” steel guitar playing in his songs that makes them sadder than most.
That just about does it

Keith

When he passed, country music lost a great one.

Love Verne, but Keith's voice....My God it was perfect. Too soon he left us, and like someone mentioned below he would of been the GOAT.

I love Verne, but Keith had a more lonesome sound.

The singer’s blood alcohol level was reported to be .47, or almost five times the amount to be declared intoxicated in Tennessee. Police had found 23 empty cans of Budweiser at his house, an empty bottle of Scope, and four half consumed bottles of hair spray.

They played this honor and montage video of Keith Whitley during the CMA awards right after he died - shed a tear that night remembering the many songs I sang along with back then...
