RIP Kris Kristofferson

[80sChav]

Kris who was a American Country Singer legend passed on yesterday aged

I never liked all of Kris' Songs but Help Me Make it Through the Night was an awesome amazingly sad but also a brilliant tear-jerker of a Song about a Man worrying his wife wont survive living through the night. Also Kris' rendition of Tie A Yellow Ribbon (Around The Old Oak Tree) will never ever be beaten by any singer doing any rendition of it ever in my book

RIP Kris Kristofferson

[George 1978]

I didn't know that he was married to Rita Coolidge - I found that out when I heard Johnnie Walker's Radio 2 show on Sunday. Amazing how different acts the two were.

By the way, going slightly off topic: speaking of Johnnie Walker, I was so sorry to hear about his terminal illness and that he was retiring from BBC Radio at the end of the month. I knew from his voice that he was quite ill based on listening to his show for the past couple of months. I hope that he will live for as long as possible, but when the time comes I might start a thread on here.
