Remember... THIS is the song a then unknown Kris landed his helicopter on Johnny's lawn to give him a tape of in a desperate attempt to get his music known. Johnny recorded it, and Kris "never had to work again". Thanks, Johnny. For everything, but especially for helping this unknown kid get the start we are all grateful for. Legend to legend...
"The Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken" takes me immediately back to any Sunday morning in my home in the 60s. Off to Sunday school, then to church service, and home to mom fryin' chicken. Sometimes she would invite the pastor to dinner and that meant the whole spread, chicken, mashed taters, corn and homemade biscuits. Ahh, sweet memories.
How hard must it have been for this man to sing that song. He sang it because of his love and strong friendship with Johnny Cash. I have nothing but the upmost respect and admiration for this great songwriter and what he has given to the world. Why in the name of god has he not been honoured by the Kennedy Centre.

Poor Kris you can tell he is tearing up the whole time he is singing the song. He's having a hard time singing the song. I can't believe it's almost been 5 years since Johnny Cash died. He's one of my favorite Classic Country singers, and I listen too him as much as I can.
Kris KRISTOPHER wrote this song,,, but you notice he never mentioned it,,, This in his eyes Was Johnny's Song,,, but Kris KRISTOPHER gave all the credit to the ♦♦♦ MAN ♦♦♦IN♦♦♦ BLACK♦♦♦
You can feel how moved he is when he talks about JCash and mentions that he was the North Star...I love his lyrics, his way of singing and his being so humble. This song is a real masterpiece!Keep it up, Kris. Lots of people love you.xx
Kris Kristofferson you nevermet me and had you... I could have told you how your song prevented me from suicide... I've listened to you since I was twelve and then nothing until I was 50y years old. Dont you dare leave me I need you xxxx
Kris is indeed the North Star. I once went to the Alameda County Fair in Pleasanton, CA and found out that Kris was the featured performer that night. I was so thrilled I teared-up! He did not disappoint as he's a consummate showman. He was a brilliant star in very humble surroundings that night. If you ever have a chance to see him play DO NOT miss it!
One of the best written songs ever. So many classic lines in the song but my favorite is "And it echoed through the canyon Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday." Powerful words, the genius of Kris Kristofferson!
Soooooo magnificent never ever be words Soooooo poinient a true master piece and also a genius but all his lyrics are soooooo heartwarming and only Kriss could write them❤❤❤❤❤
Front pew of the Salvation Army mission...snow's falling out side and it's 26 degrees. The smell of stale beer, urine and sweat permeates the air to the accompaniment of the hacking coughs heard from every corner in the room....and then silence as this grizzled man steps to the podium and sings Amazing Grace...and the place just falls apart. Thanks Kris, we'll never forget your gift to us on that cold winter day long ago.
Kris Kristofferson was a Rhodes Scholar. Which means he was some sort of genius. He could have gone on to become the Prez.of the U.S of A. but he chose the hard struggle to make his name in music. Good choice.
There is something about hearing a song sung by the person who wrote it. It makes u intune w their thought. Then remember hey I dug in the closet for "cleanest dirty shirt" . That blew me away. Tks for inviting me back to an emotional time.
I got sober 16 years ago and this song meant so much to me at that time when I was struggling to find my way. I don't know if Mr Kristoffersen had a problem with drink but this song is just so insightful . . . what a powerful, powerful song. 10 thumbs up for this one!
Yes Kris had a very bad problem with booze and at one time a problem with drugs but, be over came both greatest song writter ever to me! What made him start the booze and drug he had stage fright!
I was going to say, anyone been there , I,ve been there . There is so much insight in this song . When he,s singing it flashes me back . It really reminds me where I never want to be again . I have 14 years alcohol free , and I still have to fight urges ,seldom but they sneak up . Last summer it was hot and I got done sawing logs into firewood , I thought wow what a cold crisp Budwiser would do to wash down the grit . I could taste it . I stopped and prayed and thanked the Lord that I was clean.
Thankfully and by God's grace I've never been there. I see many on the streets of Orlando who are struggling with substance addiction. I don't know how I missed that curse as alcoholism was in my family. So very thankful.
Kris' words brought tears to my eyes. Johnny Cash was the North Star. You could find your way by following him. What great men--Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard. Ain't nothin short of dying half as lonely as no sound of Johnny Cash, Kris, Merle, Waylon, or Willie.

Ali Algan you must like Bob Seger too! I love Kris and Bob Seger too. Great vocal and lyrics, I saw Kris in concert a few years ago. absolutely brilliant. fair play to him!
Same to me, I was working in forest and Don William's Lousiana Saturday nigh played in radio and I did sit on log and had my lunch,,,,next day Don Died...
I feel...........sooooo hard for Kris, he obviously, since Johnny's death has suffered a pain never he has ever felt in his life. Johnny gave him life and with him, he took part of him. He will never be the same Kris. I will Kris forever. He still rules in my book, no matter hoe old. He still "says it", and he's still hot. Yup, don't care how old he is. He's still hot. Kisses Kris! From a 45 year old. Rock on baby.

A little background on Kris Kristofferson who I have followed since the 1960s. He was a Rhodes Scholar and an Army officer, a helicopter pilot. One of his first attempts at song writing was a song about an officer on his way to Vietnam who encountered war protesters and saw them as a dirty group of undesirables. Later he resigned his commission and became anti-Vietnam War. I also served in Vietnam and while there learned what a farce it was and that is one of the reasons that I have loved his music so much.
Kris landed a helicopter on Johnny Cash's yard to give him a tape of his songs when he was trying to break into country music. His lyrics are pure poetry
That's partly truth and partly fiction. Now that John is gone, Kris told Ralph Emery, (video is on YT somewhere) that that story was enhanced by John, And he never felt it was his place to reel John in and ruin his story. So he just let him run with it. JC was not even home at the time. Neither was June who also started claiming she was there and saw it too. And the part about a beer in his hand is pure fiction. As Kris said to Ralph, it takes both hands and feet to fly a helicopter. - Not only is there no time to be drinking a beer. It would be absolutely insane to attempt to do so.
I sure can relate to this song - spent far too many Sunday mornings like this after loosing everyone and everything who and that meant the world and all to me. Due to my alcoholism, and other substance abuse, those terrible conquences became my life . But, somewhere along the way I found a God who had the incredible mercy to deliver me from that 34 years of living hell. That was nearly 14 years ago -- The consequences of my addictions and the bad choices that went along with them can make still make the line "and there's nothin' short of dying, quite as lonesome as the sound, of a sleeping city sidewalk... and Sunday morning coming down" all too painful to remember, but I thank God that for a very long time I haven't had had to live that way. If any of you out there reading this can relate all too well to the words of this incrediblly truthful song, due to whatever reason -- have hope -- there is a higher power -- the Highest power -- who can change you and your life no marrer how hopeless to may seem. Hold on and keep saying 1 more prayer - you CAN become a walking miracle... just like me. God bless you all - and especially you Mr. Kristopherson. Your song makes me remember where I never want to go again. Somedays I still need that reminder pretty badly and because of you it's there.
i lived near the cash family and john was a different person in front of public but at home he was not a happy fella. nobody hated john more than john. just fyi
Thanks so much for posting these wonderful live videos. Almost breaks your heart to see him fight back his tears. One of the great ones we are fortunate to still have with us and what an honor it must have been to see him
Happy Birthday Kris Kristofferson and May The Peace Be With U. From Harlingen Texas. Him, Brownsville Texas June 22, 1936 June 22, 2019 - June 22, 3019
Hi, I was at one of Kris's concerts on June 17th and it was such an honour for me to be there. Just 5 days before his 83rd birthday and he was amazing. It is a night I will never forget.

Amazing talent: an American country music singer, songwriter, musician, and film actor. He is known for such hits as "Me and Bobby McGee", "For the Good Times", "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", "Why Me Lord", "Come Sundown", "Loving Her Was Easier", and "Help Me Make It Through the Night". Just to name a few. Thank you for sharing...
WHAT A GREAT TALENT THIS MAN IS.....AND HIS LIFETIME INVOLVEMENT WITH ALL THE OTHER GREAT STARS WHO STILL SHINE AFTER MOVING UP TO THE '''BIG STAGE'' LIKE WAYLON JENINGS JOHNNY CASH JANIS JOPLIN JUST TO NAME A FEW
I remember when Sunday Mornings were special. Family and friends gathering for a morning and a kick-ass early supper at Grandma's. Life was easy and living was easier.
Always reminds of my dad,,big big drinker,,wasted 30 yaers of his life looking into a glass,,but then found soberiety & for the last 20 yrs has been my top man,,,God bless you P.... love this song...kristofferson nails it..Beautiful.
.....at Lake Tahoe, 1987, ''for the good times''... and all the memories of an era long gone,...those memories to keep of the GOOD TIMES for sure.,Thank you, Kris for some great memories..
My Fab4 are Johnny, Kris, Waylon and Willie. God bless em all. We know Johnny and Waylon are with God now and one day the Highway Men will ride together again up in the sky! I plan to make every concert!!!!!!
This is a song that makes sense in so many ways . I've been here a few times my self and it always makes me think of good old days. I've changed now , but them days was still some of the best ....

I saw Johnny Cash perform live twice in my life when I was young & busy with life. Learned to appreciate his genius & his wonderful music as I got older!
You can hear the sadness in Kris Kristofferson voice at the Lost of his dear friend Johnny Cash and the song he sang was the song he wrote himself but Johnny Cash had the biggest hit with these two along with Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson became The Highwaymen and they respected each other's talents and they loved each other like brothers Chris was the greatest he still the greatest songwriter ever in America
at least he knew that he needed help for the creator when he was having trouble. If you listen to the rest of his songs you realize that he had a hard time with the devil
Maybe not or then again? See Kathys song cover Albert Croak on youtube .. Shake my tree AlBert Croak .. Finding my way home .. For The Good times cover Albert Croak.
And me .. which worries me a bit because I am a full blooded bloke .. see Kathys song cover Albert Croak on youtube .. For the Good times cover Albert Croak .. Shake my tree . Finding my way home Albert Croak
I feel completely at home with this song and I will always love Kris and Johnny ...but let's not forget Jimmy Morrison saying "Well I woke up this morning and I got myself a berr" Same thing ...Same guys
Remember... THIS is the song a then unknown Kris landed his helicopter on Johnny's lawn to give him a tape of in a desperate attempt to get his music known. Johnny recorded it, and Kris "never had to work again".
Thanks, Johnny. For everything, but especially for helping this unknown kid get the start we are all grateful for. Legend to legend...
There will never be another generation of singers like Cash, Kristofferson, Haggard the music they are putting out today cant hold a candle to this.
Ray Oliver Totally agree. Sad isn't it?
Ray Oliver it sure is.is.aussie is no better
So very true. I'm not even sure that some of the songs they call sing today can even be described as music, yet alone called country music
There will be no sentence written that I agree with more👍👍
Don't forget Willie
"The Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken" takes me immediately back to any Sunday morning in my home in the 60s. Off to Sunday school, then to church service, and home to mom fryin' chicken. Sometimes she would invite the pastor to dinner and that meant the whole spread, chicken, mashed taters, corn and homemade biscuits. Ahh, sweet memories.
Same for me, but with hush puppies and iced tea.
If Kris Kristofferson had never done one single other thing, his writing this song would have made him a towering figure in country and folk music.
Are you forgetting Bobbie magi?
Awesome song. carried me thru some bad times.
They are almost all gone now...and my world is almost empty! Thank the Lord for utube!
sad, but true
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Let's celebrate the two that are left.
Kay Ferris Which two?

Kris was fighting back his deep emotions during his speech. John R CASH and Kris had a great friendship that leads back to this song . / CD
Kris Kristofferson you nevermet me and had you... I could have told you how your song prevented me from suicide... I've listened to you since I was twelve and then nothing until I was 50y years old. Dont you dare leave me I need you xxxx
Your not alone! Your safe
That is amazing.
Music and the human voice are the greatest gifts God could have given us.
Amen.
Paula so glad you,have stayed with us !!! Hang in there baby girl !!!

Thanks. I am so happy to have enjoyed his great song at a concert in Gothenburg, Sweden. We gave him standing ovations.
One of the best written songs ever. So many classic lines in the song but my favorite is "And it echoed through the canyon
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday."
Powerful words, the genius of Kris Kristofferson!
love it
Genius
Kris Kristofferson lived more lives than a cat.
His lyrics suitcase was larger than most.
He's a poet, for sure. One of the best singer/songwriters ever., and very under-appreciated.
Soooooo magnificent never ever be words Soooooo poinient a true master piece and also a genius but all his lyrics are soooooo heartwarming and only Kriss could write them❤❤❤❤❤

So cool, and brilliant! Beauty TRUE beauty, just comes from the most unlikely of places...
Did you actually get to hear Kris then? If so I believe you were truly blessed. I hope he touched your heart.
steven hewitt that is extremely moving and says a lot of KK. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to know more about this.

Kris Kristofferson was a Rhodes Scholar. Which means he was some sort of genius. He could have gone on to become the Prez.of the U.S of A. but he chose the hard struggle to make his name in music.
Good choice.
He and his ideology would be good for this country. Would be awesome as our leader. He chose to be an advocate for vets instead.
I concur.
Brian Vittachi .Also a helicopter pilot in the US Army.
Joseph Mellen - so true. Also an army ranger.
dude signed up for NAM as an Army Ranger Helicopter Pilot... his family disowned him... he was OUTLAW country
You can't just write a song like this, you have to have lived it!
Hey, Doc! Kris is one of the greatest songwriters ever (as you well know)/.
Yes Sir.
There is something about hearing a song sung by the person who wrote it. It makes u intune w their thought. Then remember hey I dug in the closet for "cleanest dirty shirt" . That blew me away. Tks for inviting me back to an emotional time.
Michael McNaughton liar
If you didn't cry when that man talk about Johnny Cash at his funeral and there is absolutely something wrong with 👑👍☀️🇺🇸😘
If Mr. Kristofferson only wrote this one song he would still be a genius.
I got sober 16 years ago and this song meant so much to me at that time when I was struggling to find my way.
I don't know if Mr Kristoffersen had a problem with drink but this song is just so insightful . . . what a powerful, powerful song.
10 thumbs up for this one!
Yes he did, drink and other things. for decades he said he never performed sober
Yes Kris had a very bad problem with booze and at one time a problem with drugs but, be over came both greatest song writter ever to me! What made him start the booze and drug he had stage fright!
I'm trying.Kris is such an inspiration.
I was going to say, anyone been there , I,ve been there . There is so much insight in this song . When he,s singing it flashes me back . It really reminds me where I never want to be again .

You wrote this, what would we do without you...This was my favourite song when I was a little kid in the 1960's, how much better could it get...
Kris writes great songs. His style was perfect for Johnny Cash. Great tribute to the memory of a great country singer.
Thank you for this beautiful and sad tribute from Kris Kristofferson to his friend Johnny Cash whose music I loved also.

Weird coincidence that I would watch this on the day after Muhammad Ali died and he pretty much randomly mentioned Muhammad Ali.

Once again proof Kris is the poet laureate of country
I think I like this song so much as it described my own life, right down to drinking beer for breakfast, and picking out my cleanest dirty shirt.
A little background on Kris Kristofferson who I have followed since the 1960s. He was a Rhodes Scholar and an Army officer, a helicopter pilot. One of his first attempts at song writing was a song about an officer on his way to Vietnam who encountered war protesters and saw them as a dirty group of undesirables.

Nice story god bless you brother
Kris landed a helicopter on Johnny Cash's yard to give him a tape of his songs when he was trying to break into country music. His lyrics are pure poetry
He landed a helicopter in Johnny's yard, to give him songs,that he wrote.
+Nolan Pierce
With a beer in his hand. Can't leave that part out.
+Garrett Tacha Didn't know the beer part!
and Johnny being on the speed pills spooked quite easily in those days!
That's partly truth and partly fiction. Now that John is gone, Kris told Ralph Emery, (video is on YT somewhere) that that story was enhanced by John, And he never felt it was his place to reel John in and ruin his story.

Great song, strong impact on anyone who can identify with this song. Glad he wrote it and that JC recorded it. RIP Buddy.
Thank you for posting this. This brings tears to my eyes. I've been looking for this for a long time. Kind regards from Denmark

So much respect for this man
He is a genius. An incredible mind.
U Know I Look Back In the years and remenber these songs and think how good it was back then
John was a North Star, and you could guide your ship by it. ..........So sweet .Great Job Kris! RIP Johnny. See ya on the other side of Jordan.
Kris, John, Waylon, Willie, Merle. In no specific order.
Johnny Cash is rocking out in heaven .........................
i lived near the cash family and john was a different person in front of public but at home he was not a happy fella. nobody hated john more than john. just fyi
Kris is such a brilliant songsmith. For the genre he is very original yet authentic.
If you can get that mix you've nailed it.
Poetry set to music. Kinda' reminds me of folk music too.
The one and only Kris Kristofferson and the greatest country song ever written
Hope Easter
So much emotion. My all time favourite. So rare... So beautiful.

To listen Kris make me happy. Simple and original !
Thanks so much for posting these wonderful live videos. Almost breaks your heart to see him fight back his tears. One of the great ones we are fortunate to still have with us and what an honor it must have been to see him

Kris I have converted 120 ELVIS SONGS into GOSPEL SONGS.. From the Juke Box to the CHURCH HOUSE!!!!!
I remember when Sunday Mornings were special. Family and friends gathering for a morning and a kick-ass early supper at Grandma's. Life was easy and living was easier.
When country was _country._
Always reminds of my dad,,big big drinker,,wasted 30 yaers of his life looking into a glass,,but then found soberiety & for the last 20 yrs has been my top man,,,God bless you P.... love this song...kristofferson nails it..Beautiful.
Wow, I have never heard it that way before ...... "looking into a glass". That is a phrase for the writers!
how do you dislike this? hmm :(
Kris, Johnny, and this song are a blessing from God.
Kris a singer and a poet. He knows exactly how to express something that touches your heart.
If you don't hear The Truth in these lyrics, you haven't lived enough.

Beautiful voice, sad lyrics, great artist. Poetry in music!!
Of all of the Rhodes Scholar country music singers, Kris Kristofferson is my absolute favorite !!
This is a song that makes sense in so many ways . I've been here a few times my self and it always makes me think of good old days. I've changed now , but them days was still some of the best ....

YEASH!!! I have a ticket to Kris's upcoming concert!!!
Me too in Tacoma with Brandi Carlile, should be quite a night
I saw Johnny Cash perform live twice in my life when I was young & busy with life. Learned to appreciate his genius & his wonderful music as I got older!
這首歌超輕鬆、超好聽、超懷念當時年輕的種種情景。

You can hear the sadness in Kris Kristofferson voice at the Lost of his dear friend Johnny Cash and the song he sang was the song he wrote himself but Johnny Cash had the biggest hit with these two along with Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson became The Highwaymen and they respected each other's talents and they loved each other like brothers Chris was the greatest he still the greatest songwriter ever in America
Johny Cash said of this song "It felt like I wrote it"
Who else is here because of the show "drunk history"?
at least he knew that he needed help for the creator when he was having trouble. If you listen to the rest of his songs you realize that he had a hard time with the devil
Great song. Great rendition/
One of my all time favorite songs
Love Kris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
heb gelukkig deze mooie tyd meegemaakt
ik dank onze lieve god en you tube☺😢☺😢☺😢☺😢

As a singer,Kristofferson was a pretty good songwriter.
We are t it
SpeedyNeutrino172 He was more than pretty good, he was a genius!
And a Rhodes Scholar!
He is a genius!!!

I feel completely at home with this song and I will always love Kris and Johnny ...but let's not forget Jimmy Morrison saying "Well I woke up this morning and I got myself a berr" Same thing ...Same guys
Certain songs can tell part of a person's life.
Agree .. see Kathys song cover Albert Croak on youtube and Finding my way home Albert Croak

A genius lyricist
