    No one ever accused Kris of being a great singer, but they could definitely accuse him of being one of the best songwriters to put pen to paper. He's in my top 10. Sunday Morning Coming Down is one of the best songs ever written IMO. And I actually preferred Kris singing it. Thanks for analyzing him!

    Yep, Kris personified Persistence! (He was also a Rhodes Scholar.) What got me most about his songwriting was how effortlessly sexy it was: " Take the ribbon from your hair, shake it loose and let it fall..." from Help Me Make It Through the Night and "See, she said, I've put on new stockings just to please you..." from Casey's Last Ride were not blatant at all, but oh, my! Thanks for featuring one of my favorites and telling his amazing story so excellently.

    You could call KK a triple threat. Besides singing/playing, and song writing, he was also an actor. A few years before this video he was in a few movies, one where he played the Rubber Duck in a movie named Convoy. But the other movie in the 70's that comes to mind is a little movie called " A Star is Born " that he co stared with Barbara Streisand. Some of the younger viewers may only remember him from his parts on the Blade series of movies. Either way he lived a truly amazing life.
    Not that it matters, but I wrote the above before watching any of the video :)
    The first person to char the song Me and Bobby McGee was Roger Miller.

    To all the wonderful comments: for those who haven't listened to much Kris, but know him from films, you gotta listen to his first album; it will blow you away; he is a songwriter's songwriter; he is also the poet laureate of country music (I don't like much country; I like Hank Sr., Hank Snow, Buck Owens, Johnny and Willie, Dolly, but....) Kris was an epiphany for Nashville and brought it out of the past and into the future.

    I saw him live about 10 years ago at a folk festival in Ottawa. He was 71 then and his voice -- unaided by autotune or anything -- sounded exactly the same as it always has. Seriously. Some artists' voices age obviously... his has not. He told engaging stories before every song... some of which involved Bob Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot... and I grinned because half a year before, I had heard Gordon Lightfoot in concert and he had told the same story. Yeah... Kris is a songwriter's dream. Sunday Morning Coming Down is one of the most powerful story songs I have ever heard... Bobby McGee as well and so many more...

    I became a Kris Kristofferson fan in college where I was supposed to major in psychology, but more majored in his songwriting career, and the wide constellation of musicians influencing abd supporting him. And he always showcased his band members ' writing, performing as enthusiastically as you do, Fil. Hence Donnie Fritts if Muscle Shoals, Stephen Bruton, John Prine, John Beland, Glen Clarke, and with Rita expanded my whole listening experience and desire to write.

We have an English Troubadour who like Mickey, has that special something and his name is Harvey Andrews. He is in his seventies now and does'nt tour much but I was lucky to catch one of his small intimate concerts a few years ago and he sang beautiful songs like a young man in his 20's.

    Absolutely brilliant analysis of Kris Kristofferson! As a young hippie in the early seventies, I was considered weird among my peers for my eclectic taste in music. My record collection pretty much ran the gamut from A to Z-America to Zappa. I had no problem grooving to an album by Savoy Brown, T-Rex or Slade and then follow up with Kristofferson, Dylan or Townes Van Zandt. As a constantly love struck teenager, I found Kris’ lyrics to express so eloquently, everything I felt in my heart but lacked the ability to put into words. When I first heard the album “The Silver Tounged Devil and I”, it was like an epiphany of sorts for me. Thank you, young man for your masterfully in-depth videos across the entire spectrum of musical genres and styles. Not only are you a gifted musician yourself, but you possess the unique ability to be both student and professor simultaneously regarding your subjects! Keep up the fine work as yours are among the most entertaining, insightful and informative videos out there. Well done!

    Great as usual Fil. I hope you will gain immense recognition and win awards for your excellent presentations. Very informative and enthusiastic. I think you are in a class by yourself. The only thing I know of that is similar was the "Mixed Bag" radio program hosted by Pete Fornatale in the US. You might like to do an analysis of that show.

    Enjoy your videos very much. How about looking up the performance in 1972 of Gordon Lightfoot televised by the BBC? It's a complete concert, right here on UA-cam with Lightfoot, Rick Haynes on Bass, and Red Shea on lead acoustic guitar. Just the three of them with no reverb, no "bells and whistles" sounding like an entire ORCHESTRA. Superb rhythm by Lightfoot finger picking a Martin 6 string, and majestic rhythm on his trusty Gibson 12 string. Lightfoot's voice sounds like a priceless Cello. . . Superb, tasteful supporting lines by Red Shea, and possibly the greatest Bass playing in the world by Rick Haynes. Keep up the good work. I have yet to see one of your videos that I haven't gotten a great deal of pleasure from. P.S. I had the HONOR of having Rick play Bass on 4 cuts of my new CD. He has been playing with Lightfoot for over 50 years, and is the true foundation of the "Lightfoot Sound." Thanks, and all the best to you. . .. Buddy :-) PPS. Check our a cut called 'Your Love's Return" (a song he wrote in honor of Stephen Foster.) I promise you will be ASTOUNDED !

    Not bad for a movie star & song writer 😎🎸 kinda lost on this one Fil... but Kris had or is still having one hell of a long career(s)... WOW ! Thank-you for the endless variety of the music on this channel & I might not love all of it but it's still great to see and here all of this different music 😎🤘
    I'm still pushing my request for....The Band playing The Night They Drove Ole Dixie Down & The Weight(w/The Staples Sisters) from The Last Waltz concert ! This band really deserves a view... for a group of unbelievable talent they never get the respect and airtime they should ! Please give them a play when you can fit them in.... lots of young people need to discover The Band and older folk rediscover this awesome band.... take The Night They Drove Ole Dixie Down , how many songs can you think of that are about the civil war ! It's a great song and history lesson all in one 😉 & The Weight well that speaks for itself ☺ Thank you Fil for taking the time to read this and hope you can play their video (s) soon. 😎

    I screamed out loud when i saw Kris Kristoffersen, was next in line for an analysis, i love that man! He is not only a great singer, song writer, but a great actor, loved him in a 'Star Is Born' with Barbra Streisand, great movie! The story of Janis Joplin was so interesting, Janis was interesting, i met her and 'Big Brother And The Holding Company', and Grace Slick, 'The Jefferson Airplane', Stevie Nicks, 'Fleet Wood Mac', Jim Morrison and The Doors, whilst on tour with JH. I especially love his sexy singing voice, his voice period! He wrote many songs for many famous Artists.... I hope he stays with us for many years to come, so sad his parents disowned him for doing what he loved, 'Music'.. Look where it got him in life, i hope they got over it @ some point... Excellent Analysis, Filip.....

    I esp. would love to hear you analyse "Best of All Possible Worlds" for the lyrics/ humor/ and also arrangement. Everyone should enjoy John Denver's cover of Kris' "Casey's Last Ride;" I love hearing Kris sing it; so poignant. But hearing Denver's golden tenor sing it; opens up a new dimension as well.

    In 1975, I was a 16 yr girl going to the movies with a friend. We decided to see if we could get into an R rated movie. We were sold the tickets to a movie starring Kris .
    As we left after the movie, my friend said the R rated James Bond film she'd seen was nothing like what we'd just watched. A week later, the movie was rated X, and pulled from neighborhood theaters. So, I always think of him ,fondly, without any clothes.

Of course I knew he wrote Me and Bobby McGee and my favorite version of that track is Janis'! I haven't seen the original A Star is Born in years!....✌❤🤘

      Have you heard Elvis, with JD Sumner and The Stamps do, Why Me, Lord? Awesome! The sad thing with Krist, is. To be so full of talent, singer, a song writer, lyricyst, actor probably one of the most intelligent by far of most of the entertainers in the past century..... He never gained that pedestal of super stardom. It's kinda like, why not? The women loved him.... Smarts were there????? He was a Highwayman..... Super group! But look at the names he had to share a bill with? All MVPs!!
