Around 1984, Kris and his band were doing a bunch of USO shows. They flew to our ship, in the middle of the Indian Ocean, via helicopter from the carrier. Very down to earth and nice guy. He, and his band were invited to have lunch with the officers in their private mess. They declined and sat with the rest of the crew on the mess deck. Love this guy. He's the real deal!
We saw Kris in a small concert in San Diego in the mid 90's. It was a once in a life time memory. He shook are hand and thanked us for coming. Humble man.
I’m a recovering alcoholic and there’s more love for this man than he'll ever know. 'One Day At A Time Sweet Jesus' is much more than a song, it’s a way of life.
He has numerous song we can relate to in our struggles with heartaches and disappointment. The silver tongue devil. Jody and the kid just rips my heart out. Don't we all wish we would have been a better more loving person?
As a 30 year old swede introduced to country music by my father at an early age. I will always cherish that I have had the opportunity to watch both Willie and Kris live . As well as how, contrary, my heart will always break at knowing I never got the chance to see Johnny or Waylon.
He is a great guy. He flew out to the jungles of the Philippines in 1984 and put on a concert on a makeshift stage for a bunch of us soldiers. After the songs, he hung around and talked with us for an hour or two. We took some great photos and made some memories.
I love this man. I think the Holy Spirit prompted him, and with risk, lotsa loss, he had the courage to do what God’s plan for his life. He was like most great souls, he was a sinner and a saint. He really was a lover, not an evil man. I believe Kris loved zJesus . Sold out for Jes. I am guessing so I have to do my research. Just a gut feelin’. I hope I am not disappointed.🧔♀️🫶😇🐕🥰. I will forever more pray for him and ask him to pray for me, the worst of all sinners. Because, I know Jesus is the way and the truth and the life, yet I am that prodigal son 😢. I am Canadian but this man intrigues me. I listened to his hits album laying in the sun in my backyard after high school. And I feel I am a Republican even though I am Canadian. I really love the Govenor(sp?) of Florida, Ron DeSantis. Anyway, I feel I mueh this man, Kris 😳🫶🥸🤔🫡🤗🧐🥰. Can’t wait. I guess The aHoly Spirit move and molded me to search the life of Kris on Palm Sunday. Holy Spirit come. I really need you.
Born in Brownsville Texas, and as he would say raised by a Mexican Nanny ( Juanita ) he called Mama. His father was always gone and his real mother was busy doing other things so they hired a Mexican girl only 14 years old at the time to babysit. She was even invited out to California to take care of Kris and his siblings when his father was transferred there. Kris stayed in touch with her until she died in 2018 at 93 years old.
I love him as a artist. I love him even more as a songwriter. Him singing his own songs is the most honest thing I’ve ever heard . He is on the same plane as John Prine, Guy Clark and yes Bob Dylan. I love Kris Kristofferson.
I wouldn't say underrated. He's richer than heck with a shelf full of awards to include an Academy Award for music and a bunch of Grammy Awards and many, many more.
Meeting Kris Kristofferson in the Montréal coffee house nights was a life changing experience. It resulted in an unforgettable friendship of the highest integrity.Thank you for the warmest of times of my late teenager years.Truly "an officer and a gentleman" who captured my heart so many years ago.Blessings forever.
Does kristofferson have a fan club I need this tell this beautiful legend how much joy and happiness he has given to millions all over the world and thank you very much for posting this for all of his devoted followers
I love the interview he had with Ralph Emery and shared the process of him coming to put his trust and faith in Jesus. He had been invited to go to a church one Sunday and it was there that he gave his heart to Jesus. If I remember it was Jeanie Frickee who invited him.
Convoy is a very great movie and so is A Star Is born!! He has made many very great movies besides the songs he has wrote.And making many songs he did do for other artists bless the man!!Kris and Willie have a special bond for each other and live on the same Island in Hawaii now that right there s special for both of them!!
Heavens Gate is also a great movie, it suffered the same fate as so many other movies like Blade Runner and The Thing, once a big name critic bashes a movie all the smaller critics try to out bash each other reviewing the movie as a way of sucking up to the big name critic that starts the snowball rolling down the hill in the first place. After all, Rolling Stone magazine bashed every single Led Zeppelin album one at a time as they came out, I learned a long time ago to ignore critics, they're always trying to convince the general public that they know so much more than the general public does.
Fyi I watched the 3.5 hr 2013 director's cut of heaven's gate last week and I think it is a misunderstood masterpiece. Kristofferson is excellent in it. He carries the whole film. I recommend that people save it to watch during a rainy Sunday afternoon. It's beautiful and moving and also extremely violent. It's based on a series of true events-a little known part of American history-the Johnson County war.
I completely agree with you. It was filmed here in NW Montana and my uncle's transportation company was contracted to charter all of the cast and crew from hotel to different locations for filming. At twelve years of age, I was lucky enough to watch a large portion of Kris's scenes and actually meet him. I still remember what a kind and generous man he was to give the time of day to a little twerp like me. I watched the final product later in life and was thoroughly impressed; I thought it was an excellent movie and Kristofferson's performance was the highlight.
Most of us hate anything that we don't understand..... Jesus was a Capricorn He ate organic food. He believed in love and peace and never wore no shoes... He wrote this song about John prine... I think
I met Mr. Kristofferson in the early 70s in my hometown of Nipigon, Ontario. He stopped in to the Husky Restaurant for dinner. I recognized him immediately. I do believe, he was in our local newspaper, the Gazette. I followed some of his career throughout the years.
I love Kris Kristofferson. Not alone is he such a Brilliant Songwriter and singer. I'm very happy he's married and settled down yet my opinion I feel if thing's were not so complicated I would love if his marriage to Rita Coolidge had remained. They were an ideal couple and sang so Beautifully together. Yet live goes on and I'm thrilled he found a wife he's still married to... to this day. Love Kris Kristofferson always have and always will. He's a Legend. I'm sending this from my Beautiful Country Ireland 🇮🇪☘️☘️☘️ to all Kris Kristofferson fans the world over. Legend Kris 🎤🎸🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎼🎼🎼📀📀📀🎧👏 Cheer's ❤️
I really enjoyed him in the movie, Dance with Me along with Vanessa Williams. LoVE hearing info on iconic country crooners ... YoU once again hit it out of the park, thanks !!!
I saw him in 1971 in Denver at a little hole in the wall bar called Marvelous Marv's. He climbed up on stage beside me and looked me in the eyes and said "excuse me". He sang "Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again", and looked at me as he sang. Sexiest man alive!
No1 fan of Kristofferson and Cash for years I had every album made when i was in UK I saw Kris in the Sunderland Empire and Càsh in South Shields in in late 80s also Newcastle City Hall all were fabulous
Heck just hearing him on the radio, seeing pictures of him, and hearing him on records melted my heart several years before I first saw him in concert, in '75 or '76. Seeing him in movies later, and 3 more concerts, just sealed the deal. And seeing him try so hard while performing at Willie's 90th Birthday, both melted and broke my heart, simultaneously. He will always be my favorite singer/songwriter though, for his musical talent. That he was wonderful to look at was just icing on the cake!
Kris is probably the coolest human being on earth I feel like he could have played "the dude" in Big Lebowski but of course Jeff Bridges is already perfect in that role, I just feel so much of his vibe in that character
Yes, though he originally loved what Joplin did with the song, I gathered from that line, that one too many people had told him it sounded "too country" when he did it. And that was his way of telling them to bug off. It was his song and he was going to do it the way he thought it should be, when he wrote it. And for those of us who first heard Roger Miller's version, we knew what Kris meant! 😊
Never seen Kris performing, let alone meeting the guy in person. And yet, I can't share the feeling we've always hung out together. I know the feeling is not true, but believe you me, I love, enjoy and cherish it.
Fun fact: Kris Kristofferson went to Pomona College, CA, from which he won a scholarship to Oxford University in England. Twenty years earlier a movie called 'A Yank at Oxford' starred Robert Taylor on a similar path. Taylor had graduated from Pomona.
Wow! The re-enactment of the meeting between Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash is so professional and elaborate! This totally realistic looking helicopter model and these very convincing actors portraying Kristofferson, Cash and June Carter! Just like doppelgangers! This resemblance is downright eerie! I am deeply impressed!
I was 15 when it came out and all I knew about it for all these years is that it was supposed to be this huge flop that caused the bankruptcy of a movie studio, last year I was up late one night and it came on a dish movie channel, I figured "What the heck, I'll give it a try, critics don't always know what they're talking about, I mean look at Blade Runner, I've never understood why that was a flop I've always thought it was fantastic". So I sat up and watched it and the next time it was on I recorded it on the DVR so I'd be able to watch it any time I want, more proof that critics don't know shit.
Saw Kris Rita and David Alan Coe in the 70s They played at our high school in ohio Had alot of good tunes and that was 50 years ago Rita had the voice of an angel
He has such a beautiful face a face that makes you feel good too icon legend wonderful human being long may he live to enjoy with his beautiful wife and family thank you mr kristofferson for the beauiful music
Very interesting! I attended San Mateo High School from 1956-1959 and Kris was 2 years ahead of me, so I never actually knew him (he was playing football the ). However, I did know his future wife, who also attended San. Mateo High.
I liked Kris in a quirky, or so I believed at the time, film titled ‘the sailor who fell from grace from the sea’ in which he starred with Sarah Miles. Saw it at the Times theater in Milwaukee ( where I also saw ‘In the Shadow of the Moon’ years later) a few blocks from where I was living with my ex wife. She couldn’t join me that evening but we quite often walked over to the ‘Times’ for a movie date.
I can't believe his wife and family actually treated him like that. It's heartbreaking to hear that we wouldn't have had this amazing legend in the world 😢 💔
No one ever mentions the movie Kris was in called "The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea". Any woman who likes Kris will love the movie. Would love to see Amerika again -- know where I can find it?
Kris kristofferson was a famous golden treasure of country music legends i still wonder does he still wright songs Kris if you ever read people comment right a song for chris Stapleton his voice has the good country music becuse he can sing.stay healthy and your family from covit19 takecare.dont even here you on county raido becuse it's no good anymore everone says it's true 2020
What's your favorite role of his?
Blade
The Highwaymen (I know it's not a movie but GOD HES GOOD)
No convoy? ...a massive classic movie, then and today.

Fan since 73. Still love him a legend of a songwriter and singer.
He is a great guy. He flew out to the jungles of the Philippines in 1984 and put on a concert on a makeshift stage for a bunch of us soldiers. After the songs, he hung around and talked with us for an hour or two. We took some great photos and made some memories.
He did it for publicity and you just proved it but we knew about it long ago
What was going on in the Philippines in 84?
@@alicat7148 The two largest foreign American military bases were in the Philippines (Clark Air Force Base and Subic Bay Naval Base).

Been a fan since the early 70's. Amazing writer who wasn't afraid to push the boundaries of the country genre.
Pushing the boundaries of country isn't always a good thing as today's hacks have proven.
@@GarlandFarms Fair point, but in Kris's case he was brilliant.
I put a reference to The Highwaymen in the new Funeral for a Friend music therapy video on this b channel.
Born in Brownsville Texas, and as he would say raised by a Mexican Nanny ( Juanita ) he called Mama. His father was always gone and his real mother was busy doing other things so they hired a Mexican girl only 14 years old at the time to babysit. She was even invited out to California to take care of Kris and his siblings when his father was transferred there. Kris stayed in touch with her until she died in 2018 at 93 years old.
Not at all surprised as he's soooooo lovely and didn't forget his friends ever
Kris is a brilliant human being. I love his music and will always love everything about this wonderful human being.

After “a Star is born” I I just fell in love with him and Barbra Streisand!!! can’t watch that movie without crying.
Tell me about it. I have that movie from Hollywood Suite , Crave etc.. I have it on my PVR and will continue to watch it
I love the interview he had with Ralph Emery and shared the process of him coming to put his trust and faith in Jesus. He had been invited to go to a church one Sunday and it was there that he gave his heart to Jesus. If I remember it was Jeanie Frickee who invited him.
A genius. The best country song writer ever.. and a gentljeman to boot.
Loved him in A SAILOR THAT FELL FROM GRACE WITH THE SEA. Sara MIles and Kris warmed the audience and myself.
"The beer l had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert." Brilliant songwriting!
Not even in the top 100 of his best lines.
Of course its still 1000 times better than anything from lesser writers.
Who the hell is Chris Trump Sherlock
The cleanest dirty shirt is one of my Kris favorites every morning
I knew all of this about Kris but loved reading everything this put in a great story about this wonderful talented man.
He certainly is a legend! Good at everything he ever did as well. Unbelievable songwriter
A complete and utter genius 👏 👌
I love Chris Kristoferson. My dear friend hung out with him back in the day. His voice is like sweet melted butter, and I love him in Dance With Me.
Kris Kristofferson*!!
I JUST LOVE KRIS KRISTOFFERSON SO MUCH🤗🤗🤗ALWAYS NEEN MY COUNTRY SINGER🤗🤗🤗
have always loved and admired this talented man.
This man is amazingly talented in many ways.
They totally forgot to mention one of Kris Kristofferson' s best roles when he played Ducky in Convoy!!!!
Convoy is a very great movie and so is A Star Is born!!

I’m gonna watch it…perhaps there was a political reason behind the canning.
Freedom is just another word for nothin left to loose. Best lyric
When you're running for the border Lord, you're bound to cross some lines
So many songs I find myself continually going back to were written by Kristofferson.
Most of us hate anything that we don't understand.....
Jesus was a Capricorn
He ate organic food. He believed in love and peace and never wore no shoes...
He wrote this song about John prine... I think
If a cheated man's a loser.
And cheaters never win.
And the old keep getting older.
The young must do the same
Who's to bless and who's to blame...
I always have loved Kris. I saw him in concert when he came to Florida. I was blown away with him.
Multi talented man ... what a LEGEND !!
His parents may have disowned him but his Aunt Helen spoke fondly of him.
I met Mr. Kristofferson in the early 70s in my hometown of Nipigon, Ontario. He stopped in to the Husky Restaurant for dinner. I recognized him immediately. I do believe, he was in our local newspaper, the Gazette.

And Blade
Streisand ;-)
I fell hard for him in a star is born... I was 10..
Love and follow a lot of his concerts🥰😍
Kris is probably the coolest human being on earth
I feel like he could have played "the dude" in Big Lebowski but of course Jeff Bridges is already perfect in that role, I just feel so much of his vibe in that character
very talented man can sing write music, and a bloody good actor, wish i had half of his talent.
Saw him live in Stockholm summer 2019. A lifetime memory!
loved him in the Highwaymen
I thought he was amazing in the movie “payback” with Mel Gibson!
@@efraing726 YES!! i loved Payback! both cuts of the movie
Yep
Me too.
I put a reference to The Highwaymen in the new Funeral for a Friend music therapy video on this b channel.
Fascinating. Thank you. A lot of mini-docs suffer from over dramatic narration and hyperbole. This was fine in quite the opposite. Nice one.
"If it sounds country man, that's what it is. It's a country song."
- Kris Kristofferson
I always loved that line from the live album
@@marcneyman3813 that was my introduction to Kris. Dad had a 16 greatest hits cd. First song was "Me and Bobby McGee" live
Yes, though he originally loved what Joplin did with the song, I gathered from that line, that one too many people had told him it sounded "too country" when he did it. And that was his way of telling them to bug off. It was his song and he was going to do it the way he thought it should be, when he wrote it. And for those of us who first heard Roger Miller's version, we knew what Kris meant! 😊
Thanks Grunge! I didn't even know about most of these things about Kris Kristofferson. He is truly a legend.
An amazing and humble human.
Who couldn’t love his voice.
Phenomenal legend!
It wasn't Janie Fricke, it was Connie Stevens(Mrs. MARTY Stewart).
Love Kristofferson, solo or with The Highwaymen!
He was just one cool dude
Never seen Kris performing, let alone meeting the guy in person.
And yet, I can't share the feeling we've always hung out together.
I know the feeling is not true, but believe you me, I love, enjoy and cherish it.
Amazing icon beautiful man

Try going that close and it seems childish
@@AA-sn9lz Sorry, I don´t get what you mean.
ha ha ha ha ha
Grew up in the 70's with a dad who preferred country music so I know this guy's music well.
I wouldn't really describe his music as strictly country. It went beyond that.
He was awesome as Whistler in Blade.
YES!!!!!!!!
He was awsome as whistler also voiced chief Hanlan in fallout new vages I went to his concert last year
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
He really was!
I was pleasantly shocked to see him when I first watched the movie "Blade."
Loved him in star is born with Barbara striesand great acting and great film❤❤❤❤
He was hired as a pilot where my dad was already working at the time, Petroleum Helicopters in Lafayette, Louisiana in 1969.
"Heavens gate" I thought that movie was "AWESOME"...i still think of that movie..i wish, I had it in my collection of westerns.
I was 15 when it came out and all I knew about it for all these years is that it was supposed to be this huge flop that caused the bankruptcy of a movie studio, last year I was up late one night and it came on a dish movie channel, I figured "What the heck, I'll give it a try, critics don't always know what they're talking about, I mean look at Blade Runner, I've never understood why that was a flop I've always thought it was fantastic".

Saw kris in new jersey in 2005 what a great concert..love is movies...favorite movie is. Dance. With me
I think his greatest strength was as a song writer
Best song from the 70s why me lord with Rita Coolage.
Kris was a legend.
Thanks!
There was a lot of this that I didn't know.
👏👏👏👏👏☺👍👍
He has such a beautiful face a face that makes you feel good too icon legend wonderful human being long may he live to enjoy with his beautiful wife and family thank you mr kristofferson for the beauiful music
I like "Why me Lord" the best.
I love it! And there is a message in that song.
I didn’t know this and now I am a fan. I always kinda liked him, but now it’s way past kinda.

Wow that's really cool!!
I have loved him since the 70s.
People like Kristofferson with real talent are generally very successful at anything that they choose to do.
He had a good start in life and made the best of it. Genius's will do that.
Convoy has and always will be my all time fav movie!!
He was devastatingly handsome! 😋
@Kevin O Me too. Must be the "K"'s or something.
OooohhhhhYa!!
STILL IS HANDSOME IN HIS 80’s♥️😘
Convoy still my all time favorite!!!!
Nothing untold here. Nothing I have not heard many times before.
I can’t understand how it is possible to sum up his career without mentioning Convoy. You need to redo this one!
Plus more and he did go to Veintain war and did many movies.He is very great writer and played some very great songs!!
That's, because you can spare the time and leave Convoy out, everybody knows this one. As you see.
An overwhelming talent 👊‼️

He flew Helicopters which means he is highly intelligent . He is an actor and singer song writer which means he is highly genius . 🎸☮️✨✨🎼
No shit sharlock
He was a Rhodes Scholar with a Master’s in English Lit from Oxford. I suppose he could have been a poet, but that is a penurious life.
Heaven's Gate is one of the greatest films of all time
he was also in cisco pike with gene hackman in 1971
Seen him once in cookstown nj at the satellite lounge, awesome show.
Kristofferson acted in 1998 in the movie Dance with me with Vanessa Williams and Chayanne.
Love that movie
@Jason Bouphasavanh Chayanne is a Puerto Rican singer/dancer very popular in Latinamerica
While normal upcoming stars wait tables Kris just flew helicopters and became a Ranger. Just for the hell of it
I don't know, but he did a lot more.
Yeah. He was and is bad ass and humble down to earth in spite of it.
What about "Convoy" ?!?!
