Sad to hear of his death, not realising his age.
A Star is Born, one of my favourite films, and enjoyed his music over the years, very easy on the eye also..( sorry for the objectifying, )
RIP 🌻

I went to see him at The Free Trade Hall in Manchester in the 70s
He was amazing and I was smitten. I do remember that he kept on bringing "this woman" on to sing with him. I was well miffed. Found out later it was the wonderful Rita Coolidge. Not sure if they were married at the time. He was brilliant as a song writer and performer. Loved his "Silver Tongued Devil". I was shocked to realise his age as he'll always be that age when I first saw him.

I have followed Kris ever since seeing him in A Star is Born when it first came out. After that I was lucky enough to see him perform at Birmingham Hippodrome with Rita Coolidge. Such a talented good looking man.

Just watched a lovely video of him and Sinead O’Connor singing together “Help me make it through the night”.

Thanks Bridie22 for this thread.
' The very best of Kris Kristofferson' CD lives within reach of my workroom seat and is played often. Sadly I no longer have anything to play the vinyl now which is a shame as it was a collaboration with Rita Coolidge. 2 amazing voices.
I'd have loved to have seen/heard him perform live.
