Even before he became a leading man in the '70s, Kris Kristofferson had already lived a life worthy of a movie. After rising to the rank of captain, the Brownsville, Texas-born Kristofferson left the army life behind in the mid-'60s to break into Nashville's song factory, eventually working his way into Johnny Cash's good graces while serving as a janitor at Columbia Recording Studios. But while Cash would turn the aspiring songwriter's "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down" into a countrypolitan classic, Kristofferson's crafty blend of down-and-out realism and sly, dark humor would resonate far beyond Music City: Janis Joplin ushered his hitchhiker saga "Me and Bobby McGee" into the rock canon; Gladys Knight & The Pips melted down the folksy ballad "Help Me Make It Through the Night" into smoldering, orchestral soul.
