Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge - Me and Bobby McGee (CMA Awards 1974) 

What a presentation by the golden voice of both the vocalists. Wonderful evergreen music.

Who could not love this ❤ How Rita looks at Kris! ♡♡♡

Rita’s voice is spectacular

Love Kris and Rita together!! They were magic with the music they made!! Full Moon and Breakaway were awesome albums!!

They loved each other ! You can really tell.

Love to hear Kris & Rita too bad they didn't stay together!!!

Absolutely beautiful

Love Rita Coolidge and lovr Kris even more 😉

Thanks, Kris Kristofferson, Rita Coolidge and Johnny Cash!

what great and fresh recommendation, beautiful song. I really enjoyed watching. thank you.

Love kris the way he was and still now even though he is old and grey just like me

Wow they were so young and so good looking

The best times! The world has changed so much.

Love Rita's song from James Bond called " All Time High ".. She does awesome job....

One had the words, one had the voice. No better duo in music history.

awesome!! Mind-blowing! 😍💓 🎸⭐💐🌹 👍Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains, Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained, Took us all the way to New Orleans. Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues, With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up every song That driver knew. Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose, And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free, Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues, And buddy, that was good enough for me, Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee. From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul, Standin' right beside me through everythin' I done, And every night she kept me from the cold. Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away, She was lookin' for the love I hope she'll find, Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday, Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine. Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose, And nothin' left was all she left to me, Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues, And buddy, that was good enough for me. Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

Kris is a legend

Wonderful.

Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge what a class act. I remember buying my first LP fifty years ago of The Silver Tongued Devil and I was hooked. I’m now 80 years of age and when I listen to Kris I’m back in my 30’s again. I have had the privilege of seeing him live a few times over here in Ireland and the ovation he got was unbelievable. Kris touches something in my soul with his not quite perfect voice and he brings the emotion out in his love songs probably all written from his life experiences and thats what I love about Kris 💚 God Bless him.🧤👏

Beautiful, thanks 🇷🇴🙋♥️😍🎶👏👏👏💃

Awesome!

Super, thanks😍💟

Prbns...saúde a todos paz e luz.....Bravo.

Thanks for posting this.

They were great together !!! ❤

RC is just so pretty

You can see the fires gone out between them. The eyes don't lie.

Greetings from one of your students 🤗 I think you're doing a good job!

deux pommés traversent l'Amérique est tout est magique , une fille stoppe un diesel et chante le blues , tout est gratuit quand on n'a plus rien à perdre! la liberté !!!

I’m spidering rn, thanks for the vid!

Such a SAD line… I’d give all my tomorrows for a single yesterday…. Lucky people who don’t think this….😢❤

looks like your boy is hangin' up the guns...at least we still have all your great videos!

Live Kris

His voice really changed within a year. There's a duet on YT from 1973, and his voice is pristine. Here, his voice is gravelly. He's also obviously under the influence, which doesn't help. Her voice - 100%. You watch her eyes here. She's in love, but concerned.

LINDOSSS!!!🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹💯💯💯💯

He had a few before this performance😉

@biggestkkfan....❤💯❤💯❤💯❤💯❤💯 Amo vocês queridos! SHOW DE VÍDEO PARABÉNS!OBRIGADA PELO VÍDEO BJS!💯❤💯❤💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This had to be around 1972.... in the early, early days!

Brutal rendition from him...

Well it's kind of funny when I first met her on that flight

👍🏼💖

What a fresh u tube recommendation

I'm not so sure Kris knew what he was doing when he passed up Rita. I know from living long enough that I haven't made the best choices but you have to live with those choices until the end!

Did they act as lovers Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid movie?

Hes definitely high on something..😏💭 sniffing maybe? Perhaps drinking... haha I he watched that 1 time the rest of his life

Love them when they were a couple- can’t believe her tragic death by her last husband. An angel

Regaço!

Kris was on something. Don't get me wrong, I love Kris's music but at one time he was out of control.

Each to their own. But I don't think that anyone can beat janis joplin version. PINK does a great version also

Not so sure....I think Rita looks a bit uncomfortable and Kris trying to out do her...louder etc. I don't think the performance looks like one between equal lovers to be honest....it's too edgy. Just imho of course.

Man Kris's voice sound like he had too much booze and cigs before singing.

He is drunk for sure.

What a great composer! But he really can’t sing!

It is cringe inducing to see a performance where 2 or more share the same mic.
