A former US Army helicopter pilot and a great songwriter. After leaving the Army, he flew helicopters for oil rig companies out to platforms. He remembered that his hit “Help me make it through the night” was written while he was sitting on a platform…

Sorry, I couldn’t find a YouTube clip of Kris singing it. Lots of covers out there, however.

My favorite song of his, though, is “Me and Bobby McGee” with Janis Joplin.
