When You Say Nothing At All - Keith Whitley

I’ve seen others recommend the Alison Krause version for you to watch, however, Keith was the original artist to perform this beautiful ballad. His voice has a twang that encompasses the love expressed in the lyrics. Whitley was underrated as a country singer when he was alive (1954-1989) , he recorded his version in 1988 and it was a number one hit on Billboard that year. Whitley’s version is included on CMT’s 100 Greatest
Love Songs. There is a live version of his performance that hits me in the feels every time I hear it.
