My year of birth and I was so honored beeing at a gig of his in 2017 in Hannover / Germany and when he entered the stage he touched my hand and the organizer of the concert asked me to help out in security after the gig and go a nice signed picture from Kris for that!
An amazing American song. Kris Krisofferson always said almost anyone sang his songs better than he did. Not so. One of my favorites., sung by an enormously talented singer/songwriter. RIP, Kris.
Yes, he was. Also, was to go to West Point to teach English. Instead, he went to Nashville to write songs. Kris put his heart into every song he wrote. I wish I had at least one chance to have met him. He's also a sexy man who played in a lot of movies.
Lyrics: Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains, Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained, Took us all the way to New Orleans. Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues, With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up every song That driver knew. Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose, And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free, Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues, And buddy, that was good enough for me, Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee. From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul, Standin' right beside me through everythin' I done, And every night she kept me from the cold. Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away, She was lookin' for the love I hope she'll find, Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday, Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine.

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
Say goodbye to the man with that twinkle in his eyes, the smile, that voice that gave Janis her Bobby McGee, the one who sang 'Help me make it Through the Night & Sunday morning coming Down'. Admired by Cash & Dylan, stalked by Janis & Babs, but never snared. The Highwaymen drop another Golden leaf from their tree. 🍂 Farewell Kris, we'll still hear your voice, long after your sun went down. 🌅🕊️🌞
I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday morning, than to listen to the music of man that has given God's people so much joy. Kris, you and Waylon, Willie, Tom Petty, and other, fine American song writers and artists, are maybe one of the only reasons for anyone to claim America, today. I read that you took some grief from your family, for not staying in the military and making it a career. The reality though, is that music is the thing that has a lasting impact on people. It doesn't cost millions of lives, and it inspires, in an HONEST way. God Bless brother....
Yes... And this year, 2024, his words are terrifyingly accurate. BUT ....we are about to elect the first woman as the president of these United States ! And all of us will keep our freedom 💙
Rest in peace Kris ❤ I remember in the 70's MPLS He, Rita Coolidge, Buffy St Marie, et. al., sang for a benefit concert and had us up on stage Heart of the Earth Survival School student's, those were the days. RIP...
4:15 R.I.P. Kris Kristofferson you will be sadly missed and greatly worshipped for your excellent talents and I know Willie Nelson will miss you very deeply you were one of his very special friends now Willie Nelson is the only highway man band group member left now in Jesus name I pray that your with all your family and friends that have passed on before you AMEN ps- Kris I love you and willie in mine and mom 's favorite movie " Songwriter"❣️🫶✌️👍🏻😿😪😇😵💫😢

I had never heard this song until about 15 years ago and was unfamiliar with Kris Kristofferson. I was a child of the '50s and 60's though I was born in 1946. I am sorry to hear of Kris's passing. He was very talented, and I love hearing his music through UA-cam. It led me to listen to the Highwaymen. Though I have been a Johnny Cash fan since the early 1960's. Rest Easy😢💔❤
Not many words left that hasn't already been said. But in my words he's one of the greatest songwriters there is. Plus the voice is unmistakably great. Still grateful he still with us. Love him and his great career.
No dubious professions. Just talking about life experiences in general. If you don't get it hearing him sing, you may find it somewhere else. Music has always been a big part of my life, and I just really love Kris and his songs, those he sang, and those he wrote for others.
Gosh, he was so handsome...so rugged and manly and a kind, gentle spirit. ❤❤❤ Loving all the tributes to this talented man who left us his beautiful songs.
I dated a guy who lived on a sailboat that was a dead ringer for Kris Kristofferson, wild romance that was very short lived but for a few months, I never felt more free and alive.

So sad to learn of his passing - his life touched all of us beyond his talents. Also to note, Norton Buffalo (1951-2009), another amazing artist is featured on harmonica and background vocals in this video.
The man can do.what ever he sets his mind to. Highly intelligent, good looking, flies helicopters , a veteran, Rhodes Scholar, Graduates university. The list goes on. He is a giant amongst Men. ☮️☮️☮️
Happy Birthday Kris Kristoffersonxx...Kris Kristofferson's birthday is the 22nd June the same as mine...so sadly there was fake news wishing Kris a Happy Birthday on an incorrect date all over the internet. 3 months ago.....hence the belayed Happy Birthday but I am glad I did it in retrospect as the summer of 2024 was his last ...so sad.....
The first time I heard this song I was 16 and it was Janis Joplin who sung. Only many years after that I discovered Kris singing it...what can I say? Two completely different styles but both with the amazing lyrics of Kris...I wish they would sing it together! Crazy!
Believe it or not, the first time I heard this song that has become my anthem, it was by Gordon Lightfoot! Great song! Best version, obviously, Kris!!!
Singer-songwriter and actor Kris Kristofferson passed away on September 28, 2024 at the age of 88. Over a career that spanned five decades, the Grammy-winning country music artist wrote several classics, including “Help Me Make it Through the Night,” “Me and Bobby McGee” and “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down.”

Between him and Willie Nelson, they were and STILL are the most prolific and greatest writers of USA Country music who ever lived in my humble opinion. THANK GOD WE STILL HAVE BOTH OF THEM!! ANNND that's in no way detracting from all of our other great writers of USA Country music either for example the wonderful Carter Family. I just hope they both go on to write another few songs and they'll go STRAIGHT TO NUMBER 1 on the Country music charts too.
There is no one like Kris Kristofferson. He has that unique voice, the sound and the look. He was also great in the 1976 version of A Star is Born - the best one!

schöne Erinnerung, Waldemar. Kris is gone ...
Kris went to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar to study poetry. He remains to this day the Poet Laureate of American music.
An amazing American song. Kris Krisofferson always said almost anyone sang his songs better than he did. Not so. One of my favorites., sung by an enormously talented singer/songwriter. RIP, Kris.
Sorry to hear of his passing; 88 was still a good age. Lots of nice memories of Kris and his songs.

Kris is One Of The Best All-Time performers........... and remember he was an Army Officer & and a Rhodes Scholar too !
Maybe that’s WHY he was able to write and conduct his business so well??!!
Hogwash
Absolutely the Best!
Kris a Rhodes Scholar, served in the Navy!
Yes, he was. Also, was to go to West Point to teach English. Instead, he went to Nashville to write songs. Kris put his heart into every song he wrote. I wish I had at least one chance to have met him. He's also a sexy man who played in a lot of movies.
I heard he was Evac pilot and was in helicopter hauling people out and wrote this song while active duty..
Lyrics:
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains,
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
Took us all the way to New Orleans.
Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues,
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and
Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up every song
That driver knew.
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose,
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free,
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues,
And buddy, that was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul,
Standin' right beside me through everythin' I done,
And every night she kept me from the cold.
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,
She was lookin' for the love I hope she'll find,
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine.
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose,
And nothin' left was all she left to me,
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues,
And buddy, that was good enough for me.
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
RIP🙏KRIS🕯️💐✝️ you will be missed, your music 🎵🎶 will live forever 💐
2024, and I'm also still listening to it. It's great!
Me too
RIP Kris, you absolute legend. You did it your way. I salute you, Sir.
I just watched a country music documentary by Ken Burns, and just found out how much this man influenced country music. Wow.
Where have you been Heather?
With Johnny Cash!
That was a great documentary. I'm a country boy from Bakersfield!
R.I.P. kind sir
Say goodbye to the man with that twinkle in his eyes, the smile, that voice that gave Janis her Bobby McGee, the one who sang 'Help me make it Through the Night & Sunday morning coming Down'.

There are too many....my favourites are "Why me,Lord"..."Sunday morning coming down"...
God he wrote some of the best songs!! So deep and so emotional!!
Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, Rhodes Scholar -- the guy's got a lot on the ball
Funny to think that this old country song was inspired by Fellini’s La Strada. Talk about emotional. That movie’s too hard to watch
Kris did that because he honest and wrote and played with his heart,
but pearl sang it better
