Very low key and under appreciated man. He did so many things. Singer, songwriter, actor. I'll miss him. Sunday Mornin' Coming Down

[AJBert]

I didn't know he wrote so many of the songs that I have loved over the years but started to find out over the last 15-20 years. My wife never liked him for some reason I've never understood, even now. My favorite song he wrote is Sunday Morning Coming Down, hands down. All time great classic.

I did hear a few years ago that he was basically a vegetable for a number of years now, though. He sure enjoyed life, in his way, back in the sixties and the seventies. Can't say I blame him if I were in his shoes during that time. At least he lived a long and hopefully happy life. He will be missed by many, including myself.

Damn, that's sad. Toby Keith and now Kris.

RIP Kris!

Sunday morning coming down was a GREAT song, when sung by Ray Stevens, who I think first
released it* Johnny Cash just ruined it! And great songwriter that he was, I couldn't stand Kristoffersons
singing! Damn!

Sammi Smith made every Kristofferson song she sang a hit. Kris's singing made me feel better while trying to sing myself in my much younger years. I never liked listening to him but he was one heck of a writer/composer.

I believe Kris wrote that song.
