Kris Kristofferson

According to a TV News Report , 88 years old Kris Kristofferson, an American  singer and actor, died at his home in Hawai.

I don't remember having listened to any of his songs. But people of my generation know that he was associated with popular singers such as Bob Dylan, Barbara Streisland and Johnny Cash. I used to enjoy listening to Country singer Johnny Cash, folk singer-cum-song writer Bob Dylan, etc. during my college days. (I once read that Bob Dylan was influenced by the American poet Dylan Thomas).

Although western soft rock, country and folk music sound similar superficially, music enthusiasts know that they do have obvious differences amongst them.

Kris will be remembered for his Country songs and films by his numerous fans.
