How is jesse keith whitley?
Things may have been going smoothly on the surface for Keith Whitley, but behind the scenes he was being torn apart by alcoholism. On May 9, 1989, he suffered from a fatal case of alcohol poisoning; he was 34 at the time of his demise. Just before his death, he completed his fourth album, I Wonder Do You Think of Me. The record was released shortly after his death and its first single, which was the title track, reached number one, as did its follow-up, “It Ain’t Nothin”; another single from the album, “I’m Over You,” reached number three in 1990. During the ’90s, RCA repackaged and re-released many of Whitley’s recordings — including several unreleased songs — in various compilations. Lorrie Morgan recorded an electronic duet, “‘Til a Tear Becomes a Rose,” with her late husband in 1990; it peaked at number 13. In 1994, a tribute album to Whitley was released.
