In addition, the song secured a position on the Canadian chart. The song will bring you back to the past as the story is all about a man who perfectly recalls the night he went to his homecoming with the woman he loves. “Homecoming ‘63” is a nostalgic love story of two people in love and remembering one of the best nights they had in their life. It is a perfect love story that will definitely bring you back to your own homecoming night. The Billboard included this song to be one of Keith Whitley’s Best Songs.
The Music Video
A music video was made where Keith played the lead character in the song and his lovely girlfriend was his wife, Lorrie Morgan. They went back to the place where their homecoming was held and they remember that night together. Even in the video, you can see how Keith and Lorrie are so much in love with each other. They look perfect together.
