YMMV / Keith Whitley

• Covered Up: All over the place:
  • His second album included "Nobody in His Right Mind Would've Left Her", which was later a #1 hit for George Strait (although Dean Dillon had a hit with it first), and "On the Other Hand", later a #1 for Randy Travis.
  • Justified with Alison Krauss's version of "When You Say Nothing at All", which was on a tribute album and just happened to build enough momentum to become a hit.
  • I Wonder Do You Think of Me includes "Between and Old Memory and Me" and "Brother Jukebox", later singles for Travis Tritt and Mark Chesnutt, respectively (Don Everly first recorded "Brother Jukebox" in 1977).
  • "'Til a Tear Becomes a Rose", a posthumous duet with Lorrie Morgan, was originally recorded by Leon Everette.
  • Kentucky Bluebird includes the single "Brotherly Love" (a duet with Earl Thomas Conley), which was originally a single for Moe Bandy. It also has tracks that were also recorded by Kenny Chesney, Wade Hayes, and Glen Campbell, to name a few.
  • He also recorded a version of George Strait's hit "Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind" as a demo right around the time Strait's version was on the charts. While it didn't get much airplay, the few who actually heard it actually thought Keith was George.
• Harsher in Hindsight: In "Hard Livin'", he sings "I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy to me", while in "I'm Over You", he sings "You heard I'm drinkin' more than I should / That I ain't been lookin' all that good…"
