It's amazing that even though he achieved a lot of success and fame he still has a shyness about him. You can tell he gets nervous when the focus is totally on him. He's clearly a very humble man.

I have loved and respected Kris for many years. He is one of the best, he:s a great musician song writer and a great man.

To me, after 40 years, He's still one of the best looking men I've ever seen! I know back in the 60's til today, the man could put those Ol boots under my bed any day! I don't care how old he is, He's like a fine wine, he looks better as he ages! The first movie I ever saw with him in it was A STAR IS BORN with Barbara Streisand! The first movie that I ever cried! I've seen that version at least 50 times, it never gets old to me! One of my all time favorite movies ever!!!

I met Kris in the 80's. He took the wrong seat on a flight from Salt Lake to Seattle. My daughter and I introduced ourselves as he was easily recognizable and I was a huge fan. He moved to his correct seat when we compared boarding passes. He was extremely humble in this situation and seemed like a regular guy. I had seen him twice on stage in the late 70's. Both times he was opening for a Willie Nelson Concert. One of my favorites for sure.

This is how a genuine country singer with a guitar should sound and so original. He’s an honest very intelligent man. I didn’t get into classic country that far back when he was in Nashville. Hank Williams is his hero. A true country music legend. Kris you’re a great country music legend and a movie star.

He’s such a legend. One of the most interesting characters to come out of country music.

Pure class. Unlike most of today’s so called “ leading artists “.

What a genuine nice handsome guy!! Sunday morning coming down is my absolute favorite song! This was a very entertaining interview!

This is "Master Class" material and a template for how an artist interview should be done. Just plain fabulous!

You can't help loving that man.

I love this man he is still so beautiful

Kris Kristofferson is awesome. Greatest singer, songwriter, actor, and poet. Love this man.

Since 1969 hes been my first choice in songs. Lovethe man and his songs.

Two legends. A great interview. Kris has so much humility and forthrightness.

I Love you Kris. Damn your so Awesome.

KRIS IS the GREATEST SONG WRITER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.HE EARNED IT THE HARD WAY AND WILL ALWAYS BE RRMEMBERED AS HE CONTINUES TO WRITE MEMORABLE N MEANINGFUL SONGS

REALLY enjoyed this interview! Amazing, humble, seriously talented man, that Kris!

Still handsome as ever ! Love his songs ❤️

i loved this up close and personal with Kris Kristofferson...He makes me smile each time I hear him talk of the older days...Some of the songs are dear to my heart..A Star is Born is a favorite of mine..thank you for sharing

Watching this in 2021 in Mexico. I've loved Kris since I saw him perform at the Troubadour around 1970-ish.

In this day and age, I love the innocence and simplicity of not putting a song title called 'I hate your ugly face' on an album.

Kris is and has been my favorite songwriter since I heard the pilgrim chapter 33 in the early 70's.I told myself this song is my favorite song in the world ever.my whole life is layed out in the words of that song.i'm glad he came along, for his songwriting and his acting.he's the best. sincerely, Monte Shockley

I never feel like singing but ill sing for you anytime should say it all

This is the greatest thing to listen to. It's nice to listen to his coming up the hard way. I never new he was a helicopter pilot, and the military, being a captain is just grest. I wish I could meet him. That would be great.

Happy birthday my gorgeous man

Kris Kristofferson is a legend!

I loved every minute of this interview. Kris is perfection. Thank you Tina for giving us the opportunity to see it.

He is so awesome Been listening to his songs since I was little .... more talent than most... loveeeee him

What a great interview of a very pious man who learned to love GOD and afterwards his life changed dramatically for the good.

Incredible talent....definitely a national treasure. Fantastic interview, thanks, Tina!

Chris and I are the same age --old---. He has been my favorite forever. I was lucky enough to see him in person 4 times. At the Kennedy Center, club on M St. in Washington, D.C., 6th St. synagogue in Washington, DC. and the Warner Theater in DC 8years ago. My dream would be to hear him once again but I don't think so. Sherry Starr Silver Spring, Md 20903

Kris is and always be my hero. His music influenced me to learn to play the guitar...Sunday morning coming down is the first and only song I've learned the words. My favorite song to play and listen to, to this day. Thank you Kris...

Kris is one of my HEROES! He’s written so many great songs. He’s not a good player. Not a great singer. But he just has the it factor of words and his voice working. He’s just a damn legend. Also, Ralph Emery was a damn legend as well. Such a great interviewer. He just makes it feel like sitting in a living room. I miss seeing him everywhere, which he was in my younger years. May he rest in peace.

An amazing person , artist , and legend who is as talented as any singer songwriter I’ve heard …. Yes and truly humble and compassionate …. I’ve carried.his songs in my head for 50 years ….. like John Prine he captures the human condition in a true light …….

Kristofferson is the greatest songwriter.

Kris is a highly intelligent man. He was a Rhodes Scholar, there aren't many people in this world, that are smart enough to attend a Rhodes school.

Kris and Donnie Fritts (rip) two of my heros! I remember feeling down one night, when I got a surprise phone call from my friend who was invited to play guitar at Donnie's 75th birthday party in muscle shoals. All he said was listen to this.. it was Kris doing a sound check with his band, and played "me and Bobbie Magee" start to finish. What a great pick me up and suprise, I'll never forget that. What a gift Kris was blessed with!

I love Kris Kristofferson...

Love this!!! Thanks for posting it.

I LOVE THIS MAN I LOVE HIS MIND AND HEART! ❤️! My dream was to sing a duo with him! Still dreaming! Lol

The best song writer of my lifetime, I’m 60. Funny thing though, I never liked “Sunday morning coming down“ until I heard the Upbeat version by Waylon Jennings, then I fell in love with this song.

We are so lucky to have these interviews. Before they are gone.

This is a great interview by the greatest interviewer God ever created. Nashville lost an icon when Ralph died.

I love you Chris!! I love your funny truth & spit-n-vinegar Truth Be Told! ♥️✌️😊💋😘✨

Love Kris' music. I dragged my brother along to see him in London 2004 and couple of days before gig a group of men tried to rob me of money I'd saved up to see Kris but I fought them off and got a lovely black eye for my trouble anyway at bar at Apollo Kris wife and kids were there. I went toilet and came out and my brother was telling his wife and family about me n how much Kris' music meant to me and about my black eye. They loved my story when suddenly his wife took my t shirt I had brought and told me to wait. She had only got Kris to sign it for me and he was late on stage doing it for me. How kind of them. So so kind.

I am watching his from Canada. I love Kris.

Great songwriter. Loved him and Willie along with Rip Torn in the movie Songwriter. Wish I could find a cd of soundtrack for this movie. Really enjoyed Kris in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid and in Flashpoint. He and Johnny Cash played in The Last Days of Frank and Jesse James. Great movies. I guess I could go on and on about Kris Kristofferson but I won't. I really like this guy. As he mentioned his heroes I thought, you are a hero too. Mike Pardue ✌

Great actor and music men , i love this guy :-) Thank you very much BKK Fan💖💫

One of my all time favorite songs.

❤ sweetest, hottest and smartest singer ever

I have loved him for decades!❤️🤗 I also loved The Highway Men! They were incredible!

Thanks for posting.

Thanks so much for this Tina. It’s lovely to watch Kris in a relatively recent interview. He’s so relaxed with his old friend Ralph!

What a great interview . Very interesting history on him and the people he met

Thank you, I liked it a lot!

Biggest KK fan, thank you for uploading this. And thank you for all the other excellent uploads you've given us. The time, effort and heart that goes into it is much appreciated.

Love Kris .changed country music for the good

...love your skills, talents and honesty. You stood up for what you believed in. You have made an incredible and indelible mark in Nashville and the world... thanks Kris.

Two Legends!

Living with his family in spectacularly beautiful, Hana, Maui . Willie lives nearby in little beach-side country town of Paia, near Jaws, where some of the biggest waves in the world, break.

I've been a musician for nearly 50 years and of all of the songwriters in my repertoire I know and play more Kris Kristofferson songs than any other songwriter. Kris is my musical hero and I personally think he's a much better songwriter than Bob Dylan.

This guy is a legend. I hope I meet him face to face one of these days.

I remember seeing Kris and Rita at Willie Nelson’s 1st Fourth of July Picnic. I worked until noon at a nearby tennis resort and my boyfriend du jour and I hopped the fence to get in. The other housemates we had had left early in the morning from New Braunfels to Canyon Lake where the concert was held. Given that this was the early ‘70’s, I remember most of the events of the day through a stoned haze.Kris and Willie had been my heroes and still are.

Kris has eight children from his three different wives. He currently has a home in Malibu and another in Hawaii.

Love his music.

Love Kris..

All I am envisioning is some sort of movie where Kris Kris and Jeff Bridges play brothers. The vibe is so similar that I think Jeff is aging into Kris!

The greatest songwriter and human.

Great interview love "KRIS"!

This was great to watch. Thanks Thomas. Norway

❤❤❤❤ wow I loved this video

so love this man.....and I'm old

Congratulations, you are an INSPIRATION to many!!

KK... awesome, talented man... in all aspects & experiences in life..!!

No, “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down” is not a lonely song, it’s a Spiritual song. For several years after Vietnam I practically lived on his first four albums. In there are some great lyrics about the life of the soul. He’s way under appreciated. I’m glad to hear he had such a great time with the Highwaymen. He deserved it. He’s by far the best interpreter of his own songs. “Why Me, Lord” and “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down” had a big impact on my parents who were born-again Christians. My Dad got saved after flying 2,200 hours in WWII. His best friend was killed flying a B-29 in the Korean War. My mother, who was also a sincere believer, thought the lines about the can the kid was kickin’, the smell of someone fryin’ chicken, the song the Sunday school was singin’, the daddy swingin’ the laughin’ little girl, and the lonely bell a ringin’ were very, very moving. They liked, too, the pickin’ out the cleanest dirty shirt - which everybody in the whole country is using now and CNBC couldn’t even go on the air without it! A good interviewer would have asked Kristofferson how in the world anybody could’ve come up with such a great story and each and everyone of the evocatively brilliant lines! It’s a perfect song. Sorry, though, Ray Stevens doesn’t do as good a version. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMiherqF3d2-dXU.html

Beautiful 👏👏❤️❤️

Thank you :)

I love KK ❤️❤️❤️

I LIKE KRIS ONE OF THE BEST SONGWRITERS AND A GREAT ACTOR

Biggestkkfan Parabéns pelo lindo vídeo ameiii Obrigada. Amooo Kris Kristofferson Bjs! 😘💝👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

kris was right at 28:45. Glen Campbell did the Highwayman in 1979.

Kris is a true American legend...what great songs...For the good times

Who is the best there is besides Johnny Cash and a couple other ones God's not ready to let him go yet live your life as it was the beginning of Life

Legend 💜

It’s sad to see he doesn’t remember a lot of things due to his Lyme disease. This Ralph Emery guy seems to know a lot more about Kris his past than Kris himself. Great artist though and one off the best songwriters I know.

Kris is my hero

Loved it

Wow.. It blew me away when he said "I never feel like singing".

Love him❤️❤️

LOVE LOVE YOU KRIS.XXX

Real class act. Great interview. Great upload. Thanks biggestkkfan. Regards Frank

I love to hear him sing he's got some beautiful songs especially wanted me Lord and one day at a time

One of the best, K.K. Talented!

How is it that this gifted man is not in the Country Music’s Hall of Fame???

Great interview and memories from Kris. I'll be listening to it again. I want to hear that story again. I wish Ralph would have pulled some stories out of Kris about his connection to Larry Gatlin.

I always liked Ralph Emery. Great interviewer. Kris and his friends - well those friends been my hero's for a long time. Willie - Waylon - Leon Russell - truly the Good Wild Boys. Willie was inspired by Django Rinehart - the greatest guitar player that ever lived - Kris graduated from Oxford - and not the one in Mississippi!

I have such crush on him great guy singer

It's true after all his hardships he still came up on top I think highway men recreated his career

The Legend

Life’s about moments
