Now Playing

Singer, songwriter and actor Kris Kristofferson died peacefully September 28th at his home in Maui, Hawaii at the age of 88. Kris was a Rhodes Scholar and entered the military at the urging of his father who was a Major General in the Air Force. After an honorable discharge, he moved to Nashville and worked as a janitor at a recording studio while he pursued a songwriting career. Kris' big break came when Johnny Cash recorded his song, "Sunday Morning Coming Down." Many of the songs he wrote, including "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Lovin' Her Was Easier" became classics. He began his own recording career in the 1970's and won four Grammy Awards, including two for his work with his then-wife Rita Coolidge. Between 1985 and 1995, Kris recorded three albums as a member of The Highwaymen with Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2004. Kris also had a very successful movie career, appearing in more than 90 movies, including A Star is Born with Barbara Streisand, for which he won a Golden Globe for Best Actor. He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Lisa, eight children and seven grandchildren.
