We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of legendary Country singer/songwriter, longtime affiliate and #BMIIcon, Kris Kristofferson, who passed away Saturday at his home in Maui, Hawaii at the age of 88. His gifts not only sent several other artists to the top of the charts with hits like “Me and Bobby McGee” for Janis Joplin, “For the Good Times” by Ray Price, “The Taker” for Waylon Jennings, and “Help Me Make It Through” the night for both Sammi Smith and Gladys Knight & The Pips, among many others, but also fueled his own solo career, resulting in timeless tracks like “The Silver Tongued Devil & I,” “The Pilgrim, Chapter 33,” “Casey’s Last Ride,” “Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do Again),” and many others. A consummate music creator whose legacy will live on, Kris Kristofferson will be dearly missed by his friends, fans and #BMIFamily at BMI. Click the link in our bio to read more. 🎶🕊️
