Thank You, The man won a Rhode Scholarship to Oxford, was a Captain & helicopter pilot, was disowned by family but went on to become one of the best songwriters ever, an a actor, and for me he sang songs that reminded of where I'd been the good and the bad. I admire this man greatly! Thank again, Peace and Love Kelly
Well said..
All true. Plus much more. One of my favorite country song writers and performers.
Kris wrote this song and gave it to Johnny. Johnny brought Kris to his TV show so he could see him sing it. The producer said Johnny couldn't use the word Stoned on TV. He said change it or leave it out. When he sang it Johnny looked right at Kris when he sang Stoned.😂
think Johnny told Kris sing it like you wrote it kid ... HAKAD
@@dansigurdson Johnny sang it himself. Kris was in the audience.
Kris 2rote a song,"Why me Lord",you might have heard it.Maybe in church.You need to l8sten to it! Tyvm
Facts!
The poetry of "Sunday Morning Comin' Down" is more than music. It is imagery. I feel every part of his aches, pains, depression. I have loved this since I was in junior high. The man is a legend. He has shared the beauty in his soul with all of us. Sometime watch a concert video of the Highwaymen. Kris and Johnny sing this masterpiece together, backed up by Willie and Waylon.
One needs to have ever watched/heard The Highwaymen in life, or regret that they didn’t.
Yep - when I first heard it he was describing experience and feelings I knew.
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose - up there with / it’s all about expression and you can’t buy time, but you can sell your soul as life lesson lyrics.
Kristofferson's songwriting credits include "Me and Bobby McGee", "For the Good Times", "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", and "Help Me Make It Through the Night", all of which were hits for other artists. The second half of his professional life was spent pretty much as an actor. He appeared in dozens of movies. He was married in the '70s to Rita Coolidge (who counted among her intimate friends such musical luminaries as Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash though she only married Kristofferson). Thanks BK and Harri.
She also wrote the piano coda to “Layla”, although Jim Gordon, whom she was dating at the time, claimed it.
@@lathedauphinot6820 Gordon is a really disturbed character. Still in prison serving a life sentence for killing his mother. He also physically abused Rita during their brief liaison. Give the devil his due, Gordon was a musical savant...that's him playing the coda to "Layla," another reason for Bobby Whitlock to hate his bandmates. Whitlock must be the only person to think Duane Allman sucked on guitar.
@@John_Chu HaHa! He didn’t think Duane sucked. He still has the glass slide he gave him and ties his guitar strings the way he showed him, but there is some jealousy there when he says, “We didn’t need him. We had the best band in the world.” Which might be true, but they were even better with Duane Allman. He’d known Duane & Gregg since Delaney and Bonnie days, so it’s kind of funny Clapton didn’t know Duane or JJ Cale, who was also around, until later. Duane called Whitlock “Little Brother” when he and Gregg weren’t getting along, and he’s godfather to one of Gregg’s children. Whitlock also said “Jim Gordon was the best drummer in the whole damn world, but that wasn’t enough for him. He wanted to be a rock star too, the crazy so & so.”
It echoed through the canyon, like the disappearing dreams of yesterday…. Nobody writes songs like that anymore.
Kris was a Rhodes Scholar. A wonderful poet and next to Townes Van Zandt, the greatest songwriter to ever do it. It didn't matter that Kris couldn't sing a lick because his voice was 100% truth. Me and Bobby McGee, Help Me Make it Through The Night, Jesus Was A Capricorn, If You Don't Like Hank Williams, Here Comes That Rainbow Again, Love Don't Live Here Anymore, Living Her Was Easier...just to name a few. Kris was that whole Bakersfield scene
I love "Loving Her Was Easier Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again". SO BEAUTIFUL.. I think a lot of people forget he was a Rhodes Scholar!
@kay armstrong Help Me Make It Through The Night is one of my all time favorite songs from Kris. But Loving Her Was Easier is up there too.
@@adamdunbar8260 He studied the Great English Poet William Blake in Oxford. I guess he was attracted to poetic Genius. Like he is.
@Adam Dunbar, that is a pretty nice eulogy you are giving Kris, but he might take exception to the fact that you are referring to him in the past tense.
@Renee Eiier jeez. I can't believe I did that. Hopefully he won't fly a helicopter and land on my lawn. Lol
He writes with such intelligence, beautiful songs for pondering when you want to tap into a deep root of melancholy.
This man and his songs . . . I have to say that if I had nothing else at all in my life, the musicians and their music that I've had the privilege of listening to all of these years is priceless.
I feel so lucky I got to see Kris in concert many years ago. He was amazing live and he is definitely one of our greatest song writers.
I saw him at a county fair, of all things. He must have been hurting financially at the time. It blew my mind that he was there. I was so lucky. When he walked onto that small outdoor stage, he owned it. Incredible presence, and a great performance.
The thing about this song and it's importantness to this occasion is Johnny made this song and made it a hit. He was still in the army when he wrote it. He had to land his helicopter in Johnny's yard to get the song to him. That's how he met Johnny.
One of the greatest songwriters and performers in my opinion . Love to hear him sing . And a very very good actor as well .
His voice is real, in the sense that he feels the words he writes and sings.
Kristofferson was a Rhodes scholar. He was also a great athlete. He flew helicopters in Vietnam. He worked as a janitor in Nashville in a recording studio to get his foot in the door. I think he handed a demo tape to Johnny Cash and his wife and heard nothing back, so he got one of his helicopter buddies to drop him off on Johnny Cash’s front lawn. He rang the doorbell and handed Cash the tape. This song was on that tape, and the next week Johnny Cash opened his show with it.
Everything you say is true except, Kristofferson never served in Vietnam. He VOLUNTEERED for Vietnam service but instead was assigned to West Point as an instructer but decided to leave the army and go to Nashville.
@@MrCnurse Thank you. My mistake. He worked flying oil rig workers to offshore platforms, and said it was good songwriting time. Where did he learn to fly helicopters?
@@lathedauphinot6820 He did go to flight school in the US Army and flew in Germany. Army flight school was at Fort Rucker Alabama. When I went to flight school it was at Ft Wolters, Texas and then either Ft Rucker or Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia. He did volunteer to go to Vietnam, but the army thought his talents could be better utilized as an instructor at West Point.
Kris Kristofferson is another one of those that I can listen to all the time. He was one of my mothers favorites, God rest her soul. Please react to a song called “why me, Lord“ by Kris Kristofferson.
Check out The Highway Men " Loving her was easier than anything i'll ever do again" the live version is awesome...you will see the 4 legends and the emotions of Kris as they performed his song.......(yes he wrote the song)
The entire Highwaymen concert in Nassau NY is fantastic. Willie, Waylon, Johnny and Kris, with a kick azz band. Enjoy.
@@jccook5353 Saw them in Birmingham UK.. stunning night, my late Sister and I... and yes I have the T shirt still to this day
Love listening to Johnny Cash sing this song when I was a young lad in the early 70s
Simply one of the greatest songwriters ever.
Kris kristoffersons song writing is amongst the very best and in todays age, He has become more under rated than I would ever have expected... There are so many of his songs that arre nothing short of classics.
I don't think Kris was a great singer, but he is an incredible songwriter (my opinion), and not a terrible actor. Peace, Love!!
You are not alone in your thinking (my husband agreed with you). If you're interested and really appreciate his song writing, listen to the album "Willie Sings Kristofferson", it's amazing.
He is a great natural actor.
Peace, Love
I love Kris. Even as he is older,and off key. He's always been on the edge of off key,but awesome and beautiful nonetheless.
He and Willie are the only two left of the Highwaymen. God bless them both and keep them safe.
Kris was also an actor in many movie genres. Here are 2 different but popular movies: A Star is Born with Barbara Streisand and Blade with Wesley Snipe.
You would really love him and Rita Coolidge singing Help Me Make it Through the Night.
Thanks my friend
He's one of the best song writers out there, my favorite one is called....Why Me Lord.... He wrote it and he sung it and there's also a video where he tells you where he had went to a church and got saved,you've got to check it out.
Thank you. Lord Amen 🙏🙏❤
I used to joke that I majored in Kris Kristofferson. Totally immersed in his lyrics and 1973 concerns attended countless!
Kris's ride to fame as a singer/songwriter is entwined with his relationship with Johnny Cash. You can see that their relationship was based on mutual respect and love. Those of us who are fortunate to live long lives pay a price by losing those who are the rocks that anchor our lives on. You can feel Kris's loss and pain and it touches your heart.
Experienced the joy of seeing him in concert (with Merle Haggard) in early 2000s. He’s such a talent.. as was Mr. Haggard. Thanks for posting this.. made me smile!
The most interesting man in the world.
Kriss was also educated at Oxford. He's a completely fascinating guy who remains one of the finest songwriters and storytellers in the world of music.
A humble genius, met him in Juneau during filming of “Limbo”, a songwriter of my music soundtrack. Enjoy your reactions, thanks, a 76 year old kid,
Kris is my favourite singer songwriter of all time so glad to see you discover him
Mine, also!
I recommend you find the concert footage of Kris and Rita Coolidge singing his song "Help Me Make It Through The Night".
Someone else might've mentioned this, but I suspect that the reason Kris looks skyward and then chokes up when he sings the line "Wishing Lord that I was stoned" is because Johnny Cash defied the TV executives to sing that lyric as written on his national TV show. Cash promoting his music gave his career a significant boost in the months leading up to the release of Kristofferson's self-titled debut album.
He also was a Rhodes scholar!!
After he decided to follow his love of country music, his mother wouldn’t speak to him and remained distance for 20 years !!!
My all time FAVORITE, best song writer
He wrote Me and Bobby Magee which was a big hit for Janis Joplin.
He flew a helicopter and landed it in Johnny Cash's back yard ,to get his attention.
To ask him to sing this song.❤❤❤
And he also wrote Me and Bobby McGee!
He was flying guys working on oil rigs out to the rigs on a company copter. It was one of many jobs he worked before his career took off.
One of the greats and one of the greatest songs.
Love Kris! One of my all time favorites. ♥️🎶
You left out that he was a Rhodes Scholar. This song he wanted Johnny Cash to sing, it's a long story and funny, so look it up. Ah, my favorite line was I stumbled to the laundry, to find my "cleanest dirty shirt". That was quite a complement by Bob Dylan. AH that is the funny part with the helicopter and landing on Cash's lawn on the lake.
checkin in..
"Watching the news with Melody"....exactly. You are a poet yourself. Loved this. One of my favorite emotional songs. Something the way Chris sings this that brings a lonely tear to my heart.
Fabulous song, Kris never disappoints. Thanks you!
Didn't know all that. thanks for that.
Kristofferson taught English Literature at West Point.
My absolute favorite "star" is Kris. His life story..so inspiring..so human
I saw Kris at wolftrap in DC with Bob Dylan a night I will always remember
He also wrote Me and Bobby McGee.
He was also a pretty good dang actor!
Kris was also a "Rhodes Scholar"..Very accomplished man.
One of the Great Songwriters
Absolutely one of the best at what ever he's doing . Love him . Think about all the songs he's written.....Bobby McGee and Why me Lord ....Help me make it through the night and on and on .
I knew Kris was a Rhodes scholar at Oxfard.. very intellingent man .. and ... obviously an amazing song writer v
He's a man of many talents. Hes also a great actor he was in many westerns but my favorite movie he was in was blade.
Johnny Cash loved this song so much he sang it nearly every gig he played. God rest him.
My late older brothers favorite song... my fav .line fumbled throughmy closet and found my cleanest dirty shirt.... he was also a Rhodes scholar....
Kris is in a class all his own. ✌️💕 A true gentleman. 😊
jody and the kid !!! do it , its awesome he is one of my top 13 song writers
Kris Kristofferson also wrote "For the Good Times" really a song that can bring tears. He is really a good songwriter. He says things is a subtle way for the listener to figure out.
He was in a movie Cisco Pike which was pretty good from 1972, check it out when you get a chance,
Nostalgic. Sad to hear a great voice going south. But a genius song-writer. 'The Pilgrim' is my favorite. 'Silvertongue Devil's a top 10 album for me.
I’ve had nearly everyone of these songs in my collection. 👍🏻
You might check out "A Star Is Born" starring Kris and Barbara Streisand.
As the story is told, Kris landed a military helicopter on Johnny's property, as a member of the National Guard, to pitch his music to Johnny, but John wasn't home.
Wonderful song cannot wait to watch love it love you
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Another he wrote also, Me and Bobby McGee.
Love me some Kristofferson!
Love your reaction! "watching the news but with a melody" what a great way to describe country music story telling!! (I will be borrowing that comment) I recommend you listen to Don Williams (RIP). He was admired and influenced by many British artists. He was known as the Gentle Giant and upon his passing he was referred to by the media as the "Singer of Plain Spoken Songs!!! I love his song "I believe in Love". The lyrics are just as relevant today as then. Other songs are "Lord I Hope this day is Good" . Thank you for sharing. Love from Texas!!!
The greatest songwriter of all time
Kris Kristofferson wrote this song and Johnny Cash recorded it and this is at Johnny memorial he just died
Wow, this has been one of my fav songs for many years. The recording on the LP from old is even better. In 1989 I had a very serious and painful surgery. I had to change the bandage every day and it was in the day when the doctors gave out really good pain pills. I would play this song during the bandage changes halfway falling asleep from the pills. I Think of that time every time I hear the song now. It just tears at my heart, I love it. A memory of my recovery!
Kris Krisofferson was a Rhodes Scholar and attended Oxford and studied literature. He was a captain in the army and taught literature at the U.S. Military Academy and resigned and got a job as a janitor at the top C&W western recording studio in Nashville and would pitch songs to guys and gals who came in. he is a genius and listen to the "lonely bell was ringing....in Sunday morning coming down...that phrase is pure genius, He wrote great lyrics
Kris and Johnny sang together in the Highwaymen along with Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. Some good music there as well. I know I'm probably alone in this, but my favourite movie of his was "The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea" and my favourite song was "Jodie and the Kid". Both a bit obscure, but well worth a look and listen.
Thanks so much for telling us more about Kris' life. He is a very good actor, too, as you know.
"There's something in a Sunday... makes a body feel alone."
Kris and Johnny were in The Highwaymen, with Waylon and Willie.
I must have been 12 when this came out. I had no life experience, but this song conveyed such a depth of emotion, I could picture this lost man walking through a town, that was not his home. Much later in my life I discussed the poetry with my father, and he said “I was that young man, alone and lonely quite a few times”. There is just a universal message in this song, it is quite elevated.
This song and a couple other done by Chris and Johnny, woke up a lot of addicts and changed their lives.
You know your stuff - Kris followed his love, his dream, not his Father’s dream.
Me and Bobby McGee is worth a listen too.
One of the truly fortunate things that have peppered my life, but I was there, at that tribute show at the Ryman. Magical night.
You need to find some Townes Van Zandt and Blaze Foley. Great story tellers and song writers
Another great songwriter is Tom T Hall. He sang mostly his own stories or takes told directly to him.
The Year Clayton Delaney Died
Ballas Of Forty Dollars
Old Dogs, Children And Watermelon Wine
A million more.
The Highwaymen!
You kind of had to be there in the 70s when the peace and love generation transitioned into harder drugs. Stumbling out of an all night party facing Sunday morning and all the values you left behind. Awesome song. Check out "Why Me Lord" ...another great song by Kris.
Thank-you! 🎼❤️🎼🙏
I started choking up before the music started.
Great reaction to a song that makes you almost cry
Kris Kristofferson and I have something in common, we were both US Army helicopter pilots.
Great talent.
His song “Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do Again)” is on my Top 10 all-time favorite love songs list. A true beauty.
Today would have been the 80th birthday of Janis Joplin. She and Kris were very friendly, he didn't know she recorded his song Me and Bobby McGee until after her death..., He has said she owned that song.
1. Kris came upon a fork in the road between an taking an offer of an English professorship at WEST POINT or pursuing his craft of songwriting. He turned down the professorship and headed to Nashville.
2. To make money, he was a part-time offshore helicopter pilot working in the Gulf of Mexico. Which meant he was oftentimes traveling through Baton Rouge, Louisiana to and from Nashville.
A. That's how he had access to a helicopter.
B. "Me and Bobby McGee" was written during this time. Hence, the first line of the song is "Busted flat in Baton Rouge waiting for a train"
Thank you. Johnny Cash's version was also a blast but you can't beat the writer.
Kris was almost a poet. Listen to Help Me Make It Through The Night, Hellacious Acres, Pilgrim, and Why Me, Lord.
Check out the story of how he found salvation and wrote "Why Me Lord".....
Love this song
Kris wrote this song Sunday after he'd been out all night drinky. It's all true. Beautiful and painful
Btw, those two songs you like “Help me make it through the night” & For the Good Times” are Covers.
The originals were both smash hits for “Sammi Smith & Ray Price.
Sammi Smith career got started because her hit and Ray Prices career was resurrected by For the Good Times.
Ray price was huge in the 50’s (and was a friend of Hank Williams sr.) but his star had faded out.
So he changed his style, dropped the western outfits of the 50’s for a Tuxedo and became a great singer of Country Romantic ballads.
And it all started with a Kris Kristipherson song.
You’d be surprise how many singers either saved their careers or started their careers with one of Kris’s songs.
After Hank sr. Kris us considered by many (including me) as the greatest Vountry Writer of all time.
I’m very glad I got to see him twice in concert. I know he won’t be with us much longer.
LOVE your reactions.
You need to listen to "Why Me" also by Kris
