Some people have all the luck. Kris Kristofferson is one of them. Not only can he sing, but his remarkable repertoire puts him among the best and most prolific songwriters of the past 100 years

His songs ‘Me and Bobby McGee’, ‘Help Me Make It Through the Night’, ‘Sunday Morning Coming Down’, and ‘For the Good Times’, all chart-topping hits from the 1970s on, helped redefine and redeem country music songwriting.
