Kris Kristofferson

Army Veteran, Rhodes Scholar, Masters in English for Oxford, helicopter pilot. And probably the best damn songwriter to ever live. And a guy I got to call a friend. RIP KK. You left a legacy like no other.

@SW-User great songwriter. But, occasionally someone blows out the original with a cover

Sunday Morning Coming Down is excellently written - but nobody could touch Johnny Cash's version

No offense anywhere 🤗

This has been one of the most challenging weeks of my life so this is just the rotten cherry atop my dog crap sundae. :(

@JesseInTX you dealt with it for years and was without your home. :(

@Fungirlmmm I was worried about a few SW people like yourself who I know live around the area of the vast storm that came down. I hope that you are doing all right. 🤗😞

4 of the most influential men of country music. They should have their own genre because they are much more than simple country singers.

@Fungirlmmm there’s only one Highwaem left now❤

@JesseInTX :(

I listen to that song almost every day since I have been so sick. I think about souls a lot and what they can experience more deeply than we do.

I hadn't heard. I never got to meet him, but I've been admiring his talent since the 70's. Plus, he was one of the first and few of my "celebrity 'crushes'".

This is different, I know, than the loss of someone you knew and could call a friend. I'm sad to hear this news, and sorry for your loss. 😔

Sorry for your loss and he was a brilliant and gifted songwriter. I have a deep appreciation for the Highwaymen and you can see the gift of his writing within them.

I can remember my grandmother singing Help Me Make It Through the Night to me as a kid. She loved him.

I never got to meet Kris, but I did grow up with his son in elementary school.
RockerDad · M
@RockerDad His son looked exactly like him. There was no question who his dad was.
ReneeT · 61-69, F
He was such a talented writer, actor and scholar. I still love to play The Silver Tongued Devil and Me. RIP Kris

You knew him? Sorry for your loss.
JesseInTX · 51-55, M
@uncalled4 I met him around 88 and we maintained a good relationship. We didn’t see each other all the time, but whenever we were in the same area we made point to have sometime together. Then some texts and calls in between.

@JesseInTX I've never had that kind of luck. A friend of mine struck up a friendship with George Jones the last few years of his life. He seemed like such a genuine person.
