Toby Keith Honors Friend, Bares Emotions

Toby Keith admits that the death of his friend Wayman Tisdale was, quote, "very difficult for me." Keith is paying tribute to the late basketball star and jazz musician with his current single, "Cryin' For Me (Wayman's Song)." The singer-songwriter notes he penned the track shortly after Tisdale's passing back in May to sing at the funeral, but he, quote, "could not get through it." Instead he chose to perform Willie Nelson's "Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground," quote, "because I wasn't attached to that." Keith adds, quote, "It was weeks before I could make it all the way through" a performance of "Cryin' For Me."
Keith continues his tribute to Tisdale with the video for "Cryin' For Me," Watch below.

What others are saying
- Wow.......Toby that my friend, is what friendship is all about. What a beautiful tribute to a great person and a talent in most ways in his life. I love jazz and he used to take the rough edges off my day everytime he picked up that sax and played his spirit for the rest of us. I remember when he was a Cowboy in Oklahoma playing bass and a pro with that big grin and happy all the time. There was nothing short of great in everything he did. This is the first time I got to see his family, and they wear his spirit and his smile. What a tribute Toby that you could love another person regardless of his skin color or his walk. Well done, I wish I had a friend like you. Waymon will be long remembered by many for years to come, but sadness won;t be an emotion because I will always remember that great smile. He wouldn;t want us to be sad, but happy because that is the way he lived his life.
