He was one of the best poets and songwriters in the music business.

If you listen to any music of any kind, I am sure you've heard many of his compositions performed by others

Country is good music. Over the yrs had some damned good musicians, good writers (story-tellers) hence ballads; great lyrics.

Farewell GOAT, greatest writer of country. A legend in lyrics in story telling that are unmatched.

"Sunday Morning Coming Down" is my fave too, Casper, and likely to be everybody's also. Ernie Smith did two covers of it, one in earnest and the other a parody-- pretty funny!

My lasting memory of Kris is his starring role in "Convoy", the movie from the CW McCall tearaway hit tune of 1977. I bid him adieu with many thanks for the entertainment he provided in my young adulthood. May he RIEP.
