Thanks so much Harri. I was so sad when I heard Kris passed recently, I loved him in a Star is Born. He was talented, brilliant (a Rhodes Scholar) and a real humanitarian. I took my mom to see a Barbra Streisand concert back in 2006 here in Phoenix, AZ and Kris just happened to be performing down the road at another venue. You can only imagine how thrilled we in the audience were when Barbra announced there was an "old friend" who wanted to say "hi". Kris came on stage and locked hands with Barbra and we just went crazy cheering. It was the first time they has been together since they filmed a Star is Born in AZ 30 years before. It was one of my happiest memories and Rita Coolidge was one of my grandmother's favorite singers. She always thought she had one of the most beautiful soulful voices. 😍👏👏
There was a "Saturday Night Live" skit of this song. Rita was singing it, but Chevy Chase was unable to remove the ribbon from her hair. Kris and Rita's marriage was not helped by Kris doing a "Playboy" spread with Sarah Miles (maybe the marriage was already over by then.) Rita Coolidge has had a successful singing career, but I think that she is under-rated, perhaps because her singing style is on the cool side, although it is also incredibly sultry.
Made ME blush..and I'm no prude. Looks like love to me. Even if only for a little while and painful as it may be...we should all experience this...AT LEAST ONCE.
One of my favorite love songs…tender, beautiful, and yes, very steamy! There was smoke coming off of the screen 😶🌫️ Fantastic duet by Kris & Rita, and perhaps now my favorite version. RIP Kris Kristopherson…one amazing artist/songwriter. Thanks very much for this sublime five star request 🌟Belen! And thank you, Harri, for your enthusiastic reaction 🥵
She's great! And Mike Utley on organ behind them became the Musical Director for Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band. He and the drummer Sammy Creason came from Rita Coolidge's 1970 band the Dixie Flyers. ❤
By the way, I might have been at this concert. They were about to be married in 1973, and I attended lots of their concerts from Dec, 1972 on. That's the performance I saw MANY times, and I idolized them both! ❤
1972. Love this live performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test. Perfection ❤. Check out Kris singing "Loving Her Was Easier . BBC 4 " He was brilliant and he is missed. Rest In Peace, Kris . Check out the movie "A Star Is Born with with Barbra Streisand". Old Grey Whistle Test was a BBC Music Show that began 1971 thru 1987. ❤ Also , The group The Highwaymen Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. 🔥
Boomer here. Is it hot in here, or is it just me 🥵 ❤️🔥?!? Thanks, Harri, for turning the heat up, it's chilly outside, but I ain't feeling it at all 🤣!
Ooh! I was in the right place at the right time. You will enjoy this. I know there's a story behind this song, of course, but I'm not sure what may be true or fiction. Apologies. But the two were and are fantastic musicians, and I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Kris and Rita were married in the early 70s-80s. They certainly had some obvious chemistry going on in this song. Loved this song.
Great choice, Harri. It was years after this performance when Kris first tried acting. Keep up the good work.

Kris & Rita recorded I think 3 albums of duets together. Really good stuff. Thanks for sharing this one.

Glad you enjoyed it Ian! 😄👍

I don't think I've ever heard RC sing. I like the breathy quality to her voice here.

I have a record album by Kris and Rita and it is wonderful.

I love these two together. I believe Kris' battle with alcoholism got in the way 💚🎵🎶
actually Kris had already starred in Cisco Pike and had a small part in Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia by the time this was filmed
Kris was so soulful. Our loss. ☮️ Rita rocks!
Beautiful reaction! Saw Rita and Kris in Concert many years ago in N.Y.
RIP Kris 🙏
Very steamy and a fantastic song. I guess being married helped with the steam. Thank you Belen and Harri.
The entire Kris and Rita album is awesome.
Wow! That was smoking hot! What a beautiful performance. Great request and commentary! Thanks Harri and Belena 🌸💐✌️
Thank you Harri I forgot how great Rita was in thise days.
Met the lovely couple at a party in the '70s. She could not have been more charming and lovely. He could have...puking off the porch. Drink bad.
Not acting. Kris and Rita were married for a number of years beginning around this time.
They were married from 1973 to 1980.
TY ❣️ he wrote songs too
I actually watched them do it live, in Luchenbach, Texas when I was fifteen years old.
Boomer here. Is it hot in here, or is it just me 🥵 ❤️🔥?!? Thanks, Harri, for turning the heat up, it's chilly outside, but I ain't feeling it at all 🤣!
Now THIS is MUSIC! Back in the day, this was almost soft porn! Thank you Harri for one of my fave songs and clips…so sensual…sexy…hot. And in love.❤❤❤
They were married and got a bit cozy but he wrote it and may have been with her in mind!!!
I’ll be your baby tonight by Rita
Kris & Rita “Full Moon” LP. Check it out, it’s great.
My eyes are leaking.

They were still married at this time. Google all the songs he has written and who sang them. He was amazing.
What a good looking man
I agree, what an attractive couple. They were both definitely in their prime. 🥰😍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You should react to Kris Kristofferson’s “Jesus was a Capricorn
“
Ray Stevens did a great hilarious version of the song.
Rita was a Cree Native American.
Rita is actually Cherokee; she is so beautiful. ❤
Harri you got a haircut..W O W.....Looks nice, but it does make you look like 10 years older.
I thought he looked 20 years younger. lol
It was like watching a baby being made.
