In this countdown, we're revealing 10 massive country hits that were originally intended for Keith Whitley to record. From Randy Travis's career-launching #1 "On the Other Hand," to George Strait's "Nobody in His Right Mind Would've Left Her," to Mark Chesnutt's debut smash "Brother Jukebox" — every one of these songs has a story RCA never wanted told. About label politics. Buried B-sides. And one voice that could have owned them all.
