| 4 | Kristoffer Kristofferson (born June 22, 1936 in Brownsville, Texas) is an American singer-songwriter and actor who has written and released a minor buttload of songs as a solo artist, in collaborations with other musicians, and with the supergroup The Highwaymen. Kristofferson's only major hit as a singer is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzVycgM8XHQ Why Me]]", which topped the Hot Country Songs charts in 1973. As a composer, however, he has frequently written songs that became hits for other musicians, including "Me And Bobby [=McGee=]" (Music/JanisJoplin), "Help Me Make It Through The Night" (Sammi Smith) and "Sunday Morning Comin' Down" (Music/JohnnyCash). |
