Kristofferson was a poet who just happened to have music in his soul, too. I was 16 in 1972, the height of my angsty years, and remember listening to this over and over and over in the cocoon of my bedroom. (I def didn't have a hangover, just resonated with the plaintive sounds and emotions with which he imbued this song.) I wasn't a country music fan, per se, back then (or now, really) - at least not the classical country. But back then all the designations and labels of music were melding, and mixing, and merging to offer up a LOT of new sounds and choices. Kristofferson and his music were among the best of them.
How many of you know that was originally written by Kris, Johnny recorded the song which made Kris famous qnd launched his career and introduced the world to our greatest living poet.
Kris was part of the Highwaymen which included Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson (which is why he was choked up thru the song, they were all good friends). My favorite song of theirs is Ghost Riders in the Sky. It’s considered a country/western song, but is more western than country in my opinion, lol. Check it out if you get the chance! 😊
Geo, I literally just found you. Watched my first video watch which was Vincent by Don McLean and now I see Kris K. Sunday Morning and and I knew I wanted to Subscribe. Ok buddy let's do this!! 😊

Kris has been my idol for years! He writes very well! 😊❤
Kristofferson has written many amazing songs for many amazing artists. He could also act on screen with aplomb. Kris is worthy of admiration indeed.
