"Between an Old Memory and Me" is a song written by Keith Stegall and Charlie Craig. It was originally recorded by American country music artist Keith Whitley for his 1989 album, I Wonder Do You Think of Me.
Jackie Keith Whitley (July 1, 1954 – May 9, 1989) was an American country music singer and songwriter. During his career, Whitley recorded only two albums but charted 12 singles on the Billboard country charts, and 7 more after his death.
Born in Ashland, Kentucky, Whitley grew up in nearby Sandy Hook, Kentucky. Whitley began his career there in 1970, performing in Ralph Stanley's band. Establishing himself as a lead singer in bluegrass music, Whitley moved to Nashville in 1983 and began his recording career there. His first Top 20 Country Hit single, "Miami, My Amy", was released in 1986. In 1988, his first three singles from his studio album Don't Close Your Eyes, the title song, "When You Say Nothing at All" and "I'm No Stranger to the Rain" were number one hits. Years of alcoholism severely compromised his health and he died of alcohol intoxication in 1989 at his Goodlettsville home at the age of 34. His later singles, "I Wonder Do You Think of Me", "It Ain't Nothin'", and "I'm Over You", were released after his death.
In 2022, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

@bevb He was such a young guy to have had that much trouble with alcohol. He wasn't with us that long but, he left us with a treasure trove of his music. Glad you enjoyed my rendition of one of his hit songs. Have a wonderful evening....:-)

@starlyterThanks for the pic and the info, Brad. It was so sad to lose him at such an early age. My workout partner used to run a gym in Goodlettsville, TN. Keith Whitley had a home there and that is sadly where he passed away. Appreciate the listen and the props a lot! Glad two Air Force vets can have some fun sharing music with each other, Have a terrific weekend...
