Kris Kristofferson @ 75
Today is Kris Kristofferson's 75 Birthday. A couple videos to make the occasion.
"Me and Bobby McGee", a song that Kristofferson wrote. You can see Janis Jopin's version at this previous post.
"Sunday Morning Coming Down", another song Kristofferson wrote.
An old clip of Kristofferson, and his one time wife, Rita Coolidge performing "Help Me Make It Through the Night", yet another song that Kristofferson wrote.
The Highwaymen—Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson & Waylon Jennings—performing "Highwayman"
In addition to being a singer and songwriter, Kristofferson has been a Rhodes Scholar, a captain in the U.S. Army and an actor. Here is a clip with Barbra Steisand from the film A Star Is Born, for which he won a Golden Globe.
