Such a talent.

I actually knew him as an actor first with Convoy, Songwriter, Amerika and Blade.

Later I discovered his 70's albums, which I still love playing, especially the Quadraphonic ones.

R.I.P. Kris

R.I.P. Kris. Admired you as both a singer/songwriter and as an actor

I didn’t know he was married to Rita Coolidge. Overall, married three times and had eight children. Now, that’s a baby making machine!

 

[Matt Wilson]

Loved him. And that quad box shown above is a must-have.

A FINAL farewell to The Sailor Who Fell from Grace With The Sea one of Kris’ many memorable film roles

Sail on SAILOR!

Great actor, musician and... helicopter pilot!

I'm going to pull out my DVD copy of "Cisco Pike" and maybe listen to "Border Lord" after that!

Kris and Rita are name checked in the song Lonesome LA Cowboy. The early 70s must have been a fun time to be a young adult in Los Angeles. Seems like he had a great run. RIP.

I just watched the 4k Criterion blu ray of "Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid" yesterday, with Kris playing Billy The Kid!

I had a brief girlfriend back when I was graduating law school in 1978 who told me she had a thing for Kris Kristofferson and that I looked like him (I don't think so at all, and I'm a lot younger). But she never told me I could sing or was smart like him!

Kris was a musical genius!

Still looking for the quad 45 of 'Why Me'/'Jesse Younger'. With this news, anyone who has one for sale will boost the price. That's life, I suppose.
