I went to his Vail Lake California concert back in 1973 with my best friend....him and Rita were awesome together I was 20 years old I’m 66 years old now
What a naturally beautiful couple!! Super talented and classy!! TherebwillbNEVER EVER BE ENTERTAINERS AND SINGERS LIKE THESE AGAIN!! NEVER EVER!! 🙏 🤲 ❤
I think Kris Kristofferson is one of the best examples of an artist that got better with time. The more years in that voice and heart, the more he can share with us.
@@sheilamcconnell8042 Really? Think about that for a moment. I can think of at least 50 single days from my past that I would love to re-live and yes I can pick one in particular. But to give the rest of my life for that one moment? I'm not so sure.
They had a home together in Malibu during the early '70's. I worked at The Country Store on Pacific Coast Highway and would delivery liquor and groceries to their house. She was incredibly beautiful and friendly. The were tines when their house full of musicians-Roger McQuinn; Graham Nash; and others just playing music right in the living room. Tons of equipment.
Absolutely the best song writer of all time AND for me - his voice is suited to his songs. I have been a Kris Kristofferson fan since the late 1960's; which I guess is pretty much when he started.
Yes, such a difference, so real. Today, they are so fake in every way and seem to strive to distance themselves from nature. So many female performers today feel the need to voluntarily become sex objects in order to hawk their art, which is often subpar or worse. I like what George Michael wrote about the subject in his song, "John and Elvis Are Dead," when he asks if young women know what their foremothers went through to change women's roles from being sex objects. Of course, we can't let the men off of the hook either as they have become more fake as well almost as if both genders have become caricatures of themselves. Authenticity, as well as true, lasting art, is in short supply these days.
@@dunbarmichael406gmail7she might want be nice a not say it. This generation is absolutely horrible. They think they have to be dex symbols to make it in this business. They are fake. They have ruined their chances to become number one for the right reason which is because of their talent not because of their bodies. It is really sad
I can see why Kristofferson was seen as a songwriter and not a singer in those days. He improved a lot with age and there's a great version of him singing this song out there. Rita, on the other hand, was luscious and a fantastic singer. Check out We're All Alone if you have any doubts. Kristofferson was gifted as a songwriter but even more gifted to have a relationship with Rita.
They still look like a couple to me, each with their unique wonderful singing voices. And of course singing Kris's timeless classic "me and bobby mc gee".
Every time I hear this song I am reminded of hitch-hiking across Nicaragua in the early 90's. Got a great ride from a truck driver in the rain. Thanks, man, wherever you are.
He was a Cpt in the Army. I dated a girl whose father had been his commander. She'd tell stories about him bringing his guitar to parties and singing. Also flew some oil field workers that had flown with him. They told stories of him flying along, getting an idea for a song, landing on a platform to jot some notes and flying on.

I think they'd have stayed the course if he wasn't a serial womanizer. I can see why the women couldn't keep away of course. They met on a plane. Which oddly is how she met her current husband.
Now this is one of my favourite song Have always loved all his songs He sings from the heart With a beautiful voice, what's your favorite song by kris?
Man, in the beginning of their relationship the chemistry was so super hot I felt like I was intruding watching their videos!! It's so sad to see it slipping away. They really loved each other and man, what a team! Rita's voice is out of this world and Kris's song writing skills are unmatched to this day IMO. Such a shame alcohol ruined it.... 😞
Now this is one of my favourite song Have always loved all his songs He sings from the heart With a beautiful voice, what's your favorite song by kris?
@@jahno7154 he's still good looking, in his 80s, and not too many people can pull that off. The thing is, he hasn't really changed, THAT MUCH; clearly he's a lot older, but he still looks the way I always imagine him looking, just more grey.
@@lisapagliei7363 Yes your right he is still good looking amazing the grey hair really suits him . He was very handsome young especially when clean shaven I wish he was clean shaven in the film A Star Is Born.
K K has a unusual singing voice. But he is the greatest song writer of all time. A master of words a genius at putting those words where they mean something.
The best singing duo of all time. As if they were born on the stage. Such ease, grace and beauty. Just can't be beat. Love my native counterpart Rita C.
K & R made a Beautiful couple. Tragedy that it didn't last. KK IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGWRITERS OF ALL TIME..AND A GREAT PHILOSPHICAL POETS!! Two of the most honest lines ever written.."freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" & "I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday" ... WOW..doesn't get any truer than that!! GOD BLESS YOU KK!!
@@chuckm6769 I always thought that as a kid, watching her But then as I got older and learned about her, she's had quite a happy life, for lack of a better word
@@chuckm6769 On this video they were together and she loved him so much, maybe it's not on this video that she felt all that bad, even if 1978 was the year when they parted. It broke because of his adventures, not because of her

God l remember so well when they hit the Air Waves,l really loved there sound,I’d jump in my truck and turn my music on,the louder the better,love loved them together,But actually Sunday Morning spoke right to me!

Yep, I still have a rather large black & white poster of them singing together, standing closely together. A very great "duet couple" and loved the "them." And was able to love them separately, as well. Both, really good. Kris is the one I've had more to listen to from him though. Thanks!
Now this is one of my favourite song Have always loved all his songs He sings from the heart With a beautiful voice, what's your favorite song by kris?
I attended their concert at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Nov, 1974. They and the entire band was great, but then, Billy Swan sang his mega-hit song "I Can Help." Brought the house down. BUT, Kris will always be the best.
That song will go down in history as one of Kristofferson's best works. What an extremely gifted human being!
Great songwriter. Shite singer.
I went to his Vail Lake California concert back in 1973 with my best friend....him and Rita were awesome together I was 20 years old I’m 66 years old now
Easily one of the greatest songs of all time . Doesn't matter if someone's version is better that the other they're all good
Cool memory Dale & true fact Matt
man how time flies, isn't it? must be good old times
Fortunate one...lol
I never met them, but I remember them well! Kris was an actor too. I also love Rita's voice.
What a naturally beautiful couple!! Super talented and classy!! TherebwillbNEVER EVER BE ENTERTAINERS AND SINGERS LIKE THESE AGAIN!! NEVER EVER!! 🙏 🤲 ❤
My lord they're so young and let's not ever forget Janis made it a hit but Kris wrote it
Rita Coolidge is a Goddess. Kris Kristopherson is a genius. Musically, there has been no progress.
You will never hear music like this again
Sure you can, just hit play again.
Unreal!!!
Everyone gets their shot at being young and vibrant, then it eventually fades into an old memory.
…And some of us get to be old and vibrant. 😊
@@janetownley Are you one of those people?
Kris is doing okay for someone in his 80s. He still plays around on his tractor and stands straight..
Very good to be reminded of the almost ethereal beauty of Rita's voice, and the rough gravel honesty of Kris's.
Yes
Well said.
"I heard an angel singing in the Philharmonic Hall" - Willie Nelson
I think Kris Kristofferson is one of the best examples of an artist that got better with time. The more years in that voice and heart, the more he can share with us.
Agreed
She was so beautiful.
yes you so very right.
Kris could write the songs. Rita had a golden voice.
One of my favorite lines of all time: Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. One of the most catchy songs ever.
Especially these days with covid and lockdown.
It's pretty much the basic tenant of Buddhism -- find peace of mind by abandoning your desire to have things you don't need anyway.
And I'ld trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday............. (Yes!)
@@sheilamcconnell8042 Really? Think about that for a moment. I can think of at least 50 single days from my past that I would love to re-live and yes I can pick one in particular. But to give the rest of my life for that one moment? I'm not so sure.
Rita’s voice is such an old soul. I have my Pandora on and whenever I really stop and think, “who is this”……it’s Rita.
Woooweee ! What a couple...Love the harmony of Rita's voice...whoohoo ! Doesn't get much better !!!! 👍👍👏👏🤗
Hi Joan hope you're okay?
Love their voices together - hers soulful, smooth as butter; his raspy, real. He's such a great songwriter.
Her talent and beauty... breathtaking!
Thank you Delta Lady for your amazing musical pleasure you gave us!

Rita Coolidge's voice immediately stands out in this song.
Absolutely the best song writer of all time AND for me - his voice is suited to his songs. I have been a Kris Kristofferson fan since the late 1960's; which I guess is pretty much when he started.
She is so beautiful and her voice is perfect.
Hi Debbie hope you're okay?
What a beauty
My life story as a orphan
I love that nothing on my generation of women was fake and they didnt have to show all their body parts..cuz they had real talent...
And what do you have to say about this current generation Margaret?
Very true!!
Yes, such a difference, so real. Today, they are so fake in every way and seem to strive to distance themselves from nature. So many female performers today feel the need to voluntarily become sex objects in order to hawk their art, which is often subpar or worse.

I know right ✌, now days their hair , eyelashes, lips, boobs & fingernails. It's all fake, not even sure what gender they are

A song that paints pictures with its words! A masterpiece! Love it👍👍

Bird on a Wire....Had a local college radio station (only FM late night, in those days) had a DJ who was a huge Rita fan.
One of the most beautiful musical couples of all time.
They still look like a couple to me, each with their unique wonderful singing voices. And of course singing Kris's timeless classic "me and bobby mc gee".
I agree
Kris looks and sings very nice to me.
This is one of the best versions I have ever heard of this song.
They sound good
Well he did write the song after all. :)
La mejor version es la de janis
So true
Janice Joplin did a great job on this song. Singing it. I like her rendition of it best.
Every time I hear this song I am reminded of hitch-hiking across Nicaragua in the early 90's. Got a great ride from a truck driver in the rain. Thanks, man, wherever you are.
What a song! What a songwriter! As a Golden Gloves boxer and Rhodes Scholar, KK achieved so much at such an early age.
In my opinion Chris was one of the best songwriters/musicians of his day..or still! I have always loved hearing he & Rita singing together.
He was also a military officer, helicopter pilot and Army Ranger.
He was a Cpt in the Army. I dated a girl whose father had been his commander. She'd tell stories about him bringing his guitar to parties and singing. Also flew some oil field workers that had flown with him. They told stories of him flying along, getting an idea for a song, landing on a platform to jot some notes and flying on.

He has always been an inspiration to me. Blown away by his accomplishments.
Rita 's voice is unique so c KK, love them both!
What a great singing couple. True love, no doubt while it lasted! Love 'em both!
I think they'd have stayed the course if he wasn't a serial womanizer. I can see why the women couldn't keep away of course. They met on a plane. Which oddly is how she met her current husband.
She spoke highly of him in interviews later. True class and Love.
The man's a natural born poet.... Indeed he studied English literature.
You know times are real sad when you can’t even get through a two minute song without a commercial rudely interrupting and ruining it. Thanks CZcams!
Now this is one of my favourite song
Have always loved all his songs
He sings from the heart
With a beautiful voice, what's your favorite song by kris?
The Brave browser has a built-in ad blocker, I haven't watched a commercial in YEARS.
This is really special, they really sound really swell together. Very cool.
What a gorgeous, charismatic couple of people!
She sings so effortlessly........
These two were so sweet...Wish they had stayed together.She is so gorgeous and a lovely voice 😍
Man, in the beginning of their relationship the chemistry was so super hot I felt like I was intruding watching their videos!! It's so sad to see it slipping away. They really loved each other and man, what a team! Rita's voice is out of this world and Kris's song writing skills are unmatched to this day IMO. Such a shame alcohol ruined it.... 😞
And he couldn’t leave other women alone, broke her heart 🥲
@@kathleennelson8305 that's what they say. I, to this day keep hoping they'd get back together. 😞
Well oh well, hes happily married now and living in Hawaii and like he wrote and sang life goes on.
I saw them live so many times at carowinds amphitheater when they were they were married. Loved them both
Very good live
Hi Susan hope you're okay?
Gosh, looooved sweet Rita ! 💖 What a gorgeous lady !!! Loved her braids, smile, voice...🤗

Great version and excellent performance!
Kris had such beautiful eyes. Loved how good looking he was in A Star Is Born. Loved his voice too.
"Had"? "Was"? "Loved"? You talk as if he were dead.
@@WichitaGuy56 The person men't he's not good looking anymore.
@@jahno7154 he's still good looking, in his 80s, and not too many people can pull that off. The thing is, he hasn't really changed, THAT MUCH; clearly he's a lot older, but he still looks the way I always imagine him looking, just more grey.
@@lisapagliei7363 Yes your right he is still good looking amazing the grey hair really suits him . He was very handsome young especially when clean shaven I wish he was clean shaven in the film A Star Is Born.
Saw them at the national guard (long gone) building in Johnson City, Tn. 1966/67. Good old days. Beer and fist fights. What a night.
I keep coming back for this masterpiece.
Such a beautiful and talented woman, just wish they remained one.
WHY?
Kris's timeless song. With a beautiful Rita Collidge.
K K has a unusual singing voice. But he is the greatest song writer of all time. A master of words a genius at putting those words where they mean something.
One of the wisest songs ever
The best singing duo of all time. As if they were born on the stage. Such ease, grace and beauty. Just can't be beat. Love my native counterpart Rita C.
Rita is from Tennessee and we love her.
Not hardly. Rita had a GREAT Voice, Kris never could sing for $hit.
@@moms762 Kris has an average voice - Rita's voice is beautiful.
Rita Coolidge absolutely Beautiful!
N she could sing she's much more talented than kris sorry Mr kristofensen but her voice is heavenly
@@kathleengleason9805 but he can write the better songs. He definately is as talented as she is
She still is as an older woman, classy lady.
In this Moment I think about that where they both had the roots from.........WOW, what a story
Loved Kristofferson for years ,his Sunday Morning Coming Down he gave to Cash, superb man
Great memories, Kris and Rita in concert, St Petersburg Florida. Kris drinking, crowd calling for Rita, Kris was drunk and jealous
That must have been a blast. I'm from St.Pete, So many great venues in the downtown area now.
Love how raw music was!

Hi Rhonda hope you're okay?
My favorite part is “I’d trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday”.
Hi Sylvia hope you're okay?
Chris was not the best performer of the world but surely he could write songs! And he was such a good looking man!!!!!!
I know right ,So handsome!!♥️🥰
He hoped to leave country music for movie stardom but after Heaven's Gate, acting roles were so few he was forced to go back to his stage career.
It brings back good memories of my childhood in Tampa, Florida.
Like a blessing flowing down from heaven, here comes that rainbow again.
This is so sweet. And yes, a brilliantly written song. 2nd best lyric: “Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin, but it’s free…” 😊
Hello how are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
Isn't Rita the definition of beauty herself here?
She sure seems sad...
Together they were the best
And much more…

We need more hippies in country music. Hippies made the best Country Music 🗣✌
Rita and Kris weren't hippies, they were cowboy and Indian
Remember seeing these two when I was a teenager with my boyfriend 😁
Sounds fun to me did you get married to the same boyfriend?
Saw them. One of the best concerts I ever attended.
Great to see this,it's a gem
Remember drive down a highway with the cruise on 85 MPH, moon roof open, windows open with this playing on car stereo in the cool night.
This is as close to perfection as music gets!
Hello Catherine, how are you doing?
Now this is one of my favourite song
Have always loved all his songs

Rita is from an Indian tribe an original you might say. Great lady and vocalist .
Native American. Both her father and mother are mixed 50% Cherokee and 50% European, if I am correct.
Me encantan.. lo he visto muchas veces. Gracias
