Kris Kristofferson - Why me lord

[countrygirl2397]

Beautiful. Makes me cry everytime I hear it. Love you Kris! Thanks for all the music you give the world.

[saabman93aero]

Not everyone remember s Kris was married to Rita Coolidge for 7 years. He is thanking GOD for helping him beat the demon drink.

[faithmairee]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It's so spiritual. I love it's depth and how it moves me emotionally each and everytime I hear it.

[Sekralways1]

Frank have you ever seen him in a Star is Born he played opposite Barbra Striesand.  Kinda makes him an actor although the quality of his work may be debated :)

[JuanMacready]

He was no Fredric March or James Mason.

[dogpooplady]

[charlieohms]

nuff fucking said Joe

[TheLove4Christ]

He knows what he am...

[Sekralways]

He was also a Rhodes Scholar in the company of Bill Clinton so he wasn't just an actor but a scholar also.

[FrankClanton]

He never was an actor.

[oysterjoe]

He wrote this magnificent song.

He boffed barbara Streisand.

He starred in a dope movie with Gene Hackman.

He piloted a helicopter for the U.S. Army.

What the fuck is left to do?

[isaacallin]

Go to the moon. Go fishing in japan. hike the Rockie mountains, Midget kicking, i can think of a lot of things

[peppersdog]

He sure tells a story with this! So expressive and with great feeling.

[123gojanie]

I loved it. Kris the best as I see it. Hes pure country. God Bless Him

[123gojanie]

totaly awsome. I Love ui Kris for who you are. Thanks for all you done for the usa.

[Johi2410]

His hair is quite grey here, within two years it has turned snow-white ;-) But this voice, even though it's maybe not the best, is like GRANITE!

[dog1dog2]

Probably dyed for/from some movie role here.

[Johi2410]

Well yeah - could be!

[VeldigdeiligfraNorge]

hvordan har du det?

[BigJohn752]

he wrote this for Rita's father--I think he was a preacher

[jballard459]

this rendition of THIS tune moves me to tears...esp considering his history. What a poet. Thanks so much for sharing.

[jballard459]

wonderful song by a great composer...thanks for sharing.

[miehaga]

Yes, if you have the whole show on tape, please....I'm waiting hopefully. In Oslo I asked Kris to sing The Circle,and he did,so I feel that one is special to me. But I love them all.Great, great. Love Kris indeed.

[unified2006]

This is great!!

As you said you got the whole show on tape, could you please upload a few more songs from that evening??

Would be nice!!!!

Thanks very much!

[stevenslava]

That's true he did but Elvis' gift was interpretation - and Kris never had the depth of voice - listen to Elvis' live version

[JACKMCCARTY64]

I love Elvis, but you have to be kidding!!!! Yes Elvis did a fantastic cover,so did quite a few others, but No ONE could do it the way & with the pure raw felling that Kris did.

[stevenslava]

Elvis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wwwbaroydotno]

good cover version by Elvis, but Kris still wrote it:)

[hotbod38]

i could listen to Kris sing this song every single day and not get tired of it. awesome words. gives me chills.

[stevenslava]

Great song - best sang by Elvis

[slydelvecio]

what a great song by a legend!
