I wish I had been in your shoes. I would have loved to know him as a person. I grew up on country music, and Toby was one of my favorite artists. I joined the Army 2 years out of high school and they played Courtesy Of The Red White And Blue during my graduation from basic. I had never in my life felt more awesome than at that moment, marching onto the field with smoke bombs going off. I felt like a hero.

As a Marine Veteran, his music got so many of us through some very difficult days and times. I saw him with the USO, and 5 times in concert back here at home. He was such a great man and Patriot. He will be so greatly missed by his fans. Hard to believe that I'll never get to attend another one of his concerts. May he Rest In Peace.

When Tobby died, it broke my heart. His music was always about the average guy, the struggles, the disappointment, the victories.

Toby Keith Military Service was Singing to Us who Served Overseas, I was one of the soldiers in the Crowd of Thousands, Yes he was Over 6 Feet Big hearted ❤ I see him in Iraq . and Yes Mam was one of many Hits .... He was my Heavenly STAR bringing a little US home When I was at my Loneliness over Seas . A national Treasure.

As a veteran, I salute Toby. 11 USO tours serving our troops. His song the Angry American (courtesy of the red white and blue), American Soldier, and others shows his love for our country.

Great reaction. Oklahoman here and love Toby. He is a true patriot and fantastic writer/performer. RIP Toby.

❤ I met Toby in 2010 at a concert i had a special pass he was so sweet a legend gone too soon fly high with the angels ❤❤❤

He was very patriotic and always took time to perform for the troops

Toby Keith father was in the military,and would always encourage him to go over and play for our troops. He kept putting it off,and after his father passed away,he made a decision to dedicate himself to performing for the troops from moment on. He actually has a song called "Red Solo Cup",you need to check out... Rest in Peace Toby Keith,your work here on earth is done...Your music will live on in all of us...

He was 6'3 and larger than life! Good man gone to soon...RIP Toby

"Who's that Man". Has always been a go to for me. "Beer for my horses" was a comfort song for a bit. Got to see him with Trace Adkins soooooooo many years ago. Stay safe Cowboys and Cowgirls. The weeks will be heavy.

Toby was 6’3”. I can’t believe there’s still not a red solo cup emoji!

Toby Keith is a great loss to myself and my family. I lost my brother Sam in Afghanistan and one of the last pictures I have of him was from a USO event with him standing next to Toby. Toby Keith gave his heart and soul to our troops. Rest in Peace Toby 🇺🇸❤️ You will be truly missed. My brother Sam will be waiting for you on the other side with a big hug ✝️❤️

He respected and gave back to our military like no other civilian. He was an extremely talented and kind man with a terrific sense of humor. I lost my own mother to cancer when she was just 62 as well. Too young.

He served our Country doing what you see. GOD BLESS YOU TOBY KEITH. Our troops will miss him more than anyone, such a great soul😢❤

I love the fact that he went to see the troops, he was an honorable man.

The most patriotic star ever. Wasn't afraid to speak his mind. Supported the troops more than any artist.

Toby's daddy was a marine and what Toby sang about him was true. He was raised to respect our veterans and troops and he loves the USA 🇺🇸 A true patriot. He did much in service of the armed forces. This was the first song I remember. I didn't grow up on country either , my in laws introduced me and Toby was just getting started . This is so sad/ heartbreaking. Thank you for making it easier with your positive thoughts if you see this Miss Brit. 🙏🏻 RIP Toby Keith 🙏🏻

His song "crying for me" He wrote about his friend who was OU basketball legend when he passed away. I really hope you will thank you so much. I always enjoy your reactions.

He was an American Hero for all he done

A serious man, who didn't take himself too seriously. RIP Cowboy...

Cry for Me is a beautiful song about his friend who left this world way to soon

From what I know, he wasn’t in the service, but he did 11 USO tours, to Iraq. Afganistan and many other places. He served his country, bring home to everyone serving away from home. 🇺🇸👍👍

We've all lost loved ones and it hurts like hell . may God comfort his family

I saw Toby Keith in concert five times in concert. He never disappointed and always put everything he had into his shows. He'll be missed. RIP and thanks for the memories. My favorite memory was seeing him in Lake Tahoe and he just started belting out Ted Nugent's Stranglehold. It was amazing. He has quite the catalog. Beer For My Horses with Willie Nelson, I Love This Bar, As Good As I Once Was, How Do You Like Me Now, A Little Too Late, and many, many, more.

Hi Britt. Toby was a great guy and a great entertainer. I am going to give you a few answers to some questions you sort of asked and some you didn't ask lol. Toby did not serve, but his Dad did. In fact his Dad lost an eye during his service. Toby never stopped traveling and performing for the troops. All over the world. He didn't really get his break in the music biz until well into his 30s I believe. He was playing in bars etc and working hard at other things to support his family. He was indeed a big guy. He played high school and then semi pro football. He also worked in the oil fields. He actually went to college at (I believe) Villanova. Not sure for how long. Oh and the red solo cups were a staple at Toby's shows. He had a huge hit song called red solo cup. An ultimate party song for BBQs, frat parties and tailgating. If you decide to check it out do yourself a favor and watch the actual video. It's a riot. Oh and a couple quick references from the song we just watched that might have gone over your head because they were before your time. There was a TV western that was on the air for many years called Gunsmoke. 2 of the main characters were the Marshall Matt Dillon and the saloon operator Miss Kitty. He also mentioned Gene and Roy. They were both movie and TV singing cowboys. R.I.P. Toby Keith

Gone too soon. What a lover of America.

This absolutely broke my heart yesterday 💔 I have loved Toby for 25 years. I named my big dog after him when I got him in 2008. R.I.P. my friend.

One of the most beautiful songs he ever wrote was for his friend " Wayman Tisdale" Wayman song "Crying for Me" who died of cancer also in 2009

His music is always fun. He was my favorite, to be sure. RIP Toby, may your memory be eternal!

A true Country GREAT

The song has strong ties to Dodge City. The story, as told by Keith numerous times to the ‘Los Angeles Daily News’ and on country music radio, begins with Keith and a few buddies hunting for pheasant and quail in Dodge City in 1993. One night, the boys decided to go out to the Longhorn Saloon downtown for a steak dinner. Lyne Johnson, the Executive Director of the Boot Hill Museum, picks up the story from there. “One of the guys in their group kept asking a girl sitting near their table to dance, and she kept shooting him down. It wasn’t very long until one of the local cowboys in town came up and asked her to dance, and she said ‘Absolutely!’ and got up and danced. So, all the guys started hollering. One of them looked at the guy and said, ‘You should’ve been a cowboy, and then she’d have danced with you’,” said Johnson. “She guns him down and everyone makes fun of the poor guy and he comes back to the table and a young guy, about half his age, swoops in and takes her to the floor,” Keith told the ‘Los Angeles Daily News’. “One of them turned and said, ‘John, you should’ve been a cowboy.’ I thought, well, I have to write that.” The line stuck with Keith. The young songwriter went back to his room at the Dodge House Hotel. He went into the bathroom and closed the door so as to not wake up his roommate, sat on the edge of the bathtub, and wrote the song in 20 minutes.

He wrote a song about Willie Nelson. It's called, Never gonna smoke with Willie again. They were friends

I was shocked yesterday when I found out that one of my favorite Country Artist passed away, I'm so glad I got to see him 3 times. Once with Mongomery Gentry when they played for 4 hours of amazing music. He will be missed! Just goes to show you can be rich, but without the health the money doesn't matter, Toby was listed as the 5th richest Country Artist,,

Have you ever paid attention to how many great country artists are from Oklahoma? We love Toby here and will sorely miss him.

A hell of a man. He worked the oilfields and played semi pro football before becoming famous for this song. Quite patriotic, he traveled the world to entertain the military any and every time they asked. He signed Taylor Swift to his record label when she was 15. Big Machine Records. Yep, a hell of a man, i miss him already.

RIP TOBY The only concert I ever went to was Toby Keith when I was 20 in West Palm Beach Florida...everyone is your brother at his concerts. If you haven't been to a country concert GO at least once and pick a good one! everyone if family and there to party lol sit on the lawns down south and just relax its something you have to see in person 🥰 and he was always very handsom and funny and kind...this one hits me a lil bit...he was 6 foot tall just lots of charisma for sure !

RIP Toby You’re so missed. You had great humor, so very Patriotic. You Loved your wife family and friends. You loved this country and our military. Britt he was 6’3

Toby was home in Oklahoma for this concert. Those were his people singing along to everything he sang and loving every minute of it.

Should Have Been a Cowboy, his first hit, was the most played Country song in the 90s. Listen to Does That Blue Moon Every Shine on You. He did 15 tours in combat zones performing over 200 shows for the troops. His Dad was in the military & modeled patriotism for Toby.

My Marine Corps service was many years ago, but I have been a fan of Toby's from the beginning. He has gone way too soon. Tom Boyte GySgt. USMC, retired Vietnam 1965-66/1970-71

Listen to “Cryin’ For Me” (Wayman’s Song). He wrote right after Wayman Tisdale, an OU basketball player, NBA #1 pick, and musician died from cancer. It’s a beautifully written acoustic performance.

Met him while.inwas serving in Bosnia. He recorded Cortesy of the red white and blue while there. He spent the on base meeting everyone and played softball for a long time. Stayed after the concert for a handshake and picture with every person. He also sounded in person just like he did on tape

I was his tour video director he all ways treated me great and when most artists were not at gig all day he was always there because he cared about all aspects of the show

He also did surprise reunions between military personnel and their loved ones at EVERY One of his concerts

Toby wore his pride for America on one sleeve and pride for Oklahoma on the other sleeve. He was genuine.

So sad to hear of the passing of Toby Keith. Fun Fact. In March 1993 Mercury Nashville Had three budding stars that they set upon the public with their New Artist Triple Play Tour featuring live performances by John Brannen, Toby Keith & the unheard of Shania Twain. Toby Keith came out the favourite of that tour. RIP Toby :( Thanks for you fun music clips.

America lots a patriot and a good man! I feel like I lost a brother. RIP Big Dog ❤

If you're wondering, those are 2 famous singing cowboys, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. They both made singing cowboy western movies.

I saw this song in concert. It was amazing! He sounded so much better in person than on a cd or the radio! And i think he was like 6'4

As others have mentioned he actually has a song called Red Solo Cup. If you want to see his fun and silly side this song is a must. He truly was a Country legend.

this is from his debut album and was his first #1 song. my favorite song of his although all his songs are good. RIP Toby.

Thank you for honoring Toby. First time watching you. You're adorable and you did a great job.🙏❤

For any of the younger generation who don't know. The Gene and Roy that were mentioned were Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. Legendary cowboy singers/actors.

This was the most played country song on radio the decade of the 90s

He has some really good songs even noncountry people might like. This was my favorite as well as Beer for My Horses.

Gonna miss you Cowboy, you were one of the best to do it! Time to let the old man in...

I still remember when "Who's That Man" came out! Still my favorite by him. RIP

Seems like a good person, played a whole lot of shows for our troops. Has plenty of fun songs, definitely believed America was a great place and stood firm in those beliefs. This song is great, a tribute to classic Westerns. I remember "How Do You Like Me Now" as the first time I took notice of him. He was a roughneck before he made it in music - working in the oil fields helped give him a deep appreciation for regular folks.

I wish I could have seen one of his shows. He had so many songs that would have been fun to see live. that would be such a feel good show

Rest in peace Toby. Your music inspired many people. Especially those of us you came to visit in a combat zone. Another great person taken way to soon.

"Who's that man" was the one that introduced me to his music.

yeah britt, he was a big guy.... was a football player and , I think blew out his knee and went to music. Glad he did. Thanks Toby RIP.

I saw him at the Delaware state fair sing this song in Reggae and it was absolutely incredible ❤

He was a great kind and humble man love the country and the troops . He never let his success or fame go to his head.

You may have heard some of Gene Autry's songs. He recorded a song in the summer of 1949 and it became a #1 hit, it was called, "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer". He had others like, "Frosty the Snowman", "Peter Cottontail", "Here Comes Santa Claus", etc.

He was the Jimmy Buffet of country music. Sometimes serious, sometimes completely off the wall.

As a Veteran that served in Iraq twice, I'm truly saddened by this. I never saw his USO shows, but did catch him live in the States once. Good music. 😢😢😢😢

Britt you need to listen to red solo cup now!

This song was around since the early to mid nineties! My preferred era of country music btw!

Whiskey for my Men Beer for my Horses is another great Western song. Toby Keith with Willie Nelson.

Bless you for acknowledging a country legend gone to soon! RIP Toby! Served Country by entertaining Troops for a small amount of time in mostly unwelcoming environments!

The reference to Marshal Dillon and Miss Kitty is from the old western TV series "Gunsmoke". The reference to Gene and Roy is for Gene Autry and Roy Rogers; both known as singing cowboys in the 40's and 50's movies.
