Were all so blessed for our time with him.

Born in Brownsville, Texas, on June 22, 1936, Kristofferson was a man of many talents.

Kristofferson moved to Nashville in 1965, where he was eventually discovered by none other thanJohnny Cash.

Their first album,Highwayman, hit No.

1 on the country charts.

Everything he writes is a standard and were all just going to have to live with that.
