Toby Keith plays Wayman Tisdale tribute

Toby Keith will perform Saturday (2/6) during the University of Oklahoma's tribute to late college basketball Hall of Famer Wayman Tisdale.

Keith will perform the song "Cryin' For Me (Wayman's Song)," during halftime of the Oklahoma Sooners men's basketball game, according to the Sooner Sports website. The song was written in memory of Tisdale, who died last May from cancer at the age of 44.

In addition to being OU's all-time leading scorer and rebounder, and later starring in the NBA, Tisdale was a contemporary jazz bassist. Several members of Tisdale's former band, and saxophonist Tom Braxton, will accompany Keith during the tribute.

Country-music star Keith collaborated with Tisdale on the athlete's final album, "Rebound," singing a remake of Barry White's "Never Gonna Give You Up."
