He got his big break when Johnny Cash recorded his song, “Sunday Morning Coming Down.”Many of the songs he wrote, including “Me and Bobby McGee,” “For the Good Times,” “Lovin’ Her Was Easier” and “Help Me Make it Through the Night” became classics. He began a recording career in the 1970s and won four Grammy Awards including two for his work with his then-wife Rita Coolidge. Between 1985 and '95, he recorded three albums as a member of the country supergroup The Highwaymen, with Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2004.He also had a successful movie career, appearing in more than 90 films, including Blume in Love, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, Semi-Tough and A Star is Born with Barbra Streisand, for which he won a Golden Globe for Best Actor.Starting in the first decade of this century, Kristofferson dealt with a number of health issues, including loss of memory. He was diagnosed first with fibromyalgia and later with Alzheimer's disease, but those were later revealed to have actually been Lyme disease. When he received the correct drugs for it, much of his memory returned.Kristofferson is survived by his wife of 41 years, Lisa; eight children, Tracy, Kris Jr., Casey, Jesse, Jody, John, Kelly, and Blake; and seven grandchildren. They offered this statement on his passing: “It is with a heavy heart that we share the news our husband/father/grandfather, Kris Kristofferson, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 28th at home. We’re all so blessed for our time with him. Thank you for loving him all these many years, and when you see a rainbow, know he’s smiling down at us all.” RIP:John Ashton, the actor, best known for his role as Detective Sergeant John Taggart in the Beverly Hills Cop franchise, died at age 76.Follow us @RizzShow @MoonValjeanHere @KingScottRules @LernVsRadio @IamRafeWilliams > Check out King Scott's band @FreeThe2SG and Check out Moon’s bands GREEK FIRE @GreekFire GOLDFINGER @GoldfingerMusic THE TEENAGE DIRTBAGS @TheTeenageDbags and Lern's band @LaneNarrows http://www.1057thepoint.com/RizzSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
