I first remember seeing him in Convoy, I thought he was lovely…I hope they show some films in tribute. I did not have any of his music, how lucky to have seen him perform, so many times, John from Austin.
My sister and her friends went to see A Star is Born numerous times at the cinema when it came out and she bought the soundtrack album so that was my introduction to Kris' music. Interesting to read that it was playing the part of a rock star with a drink problem that made him do something about his own drink habit.
I also just discovered that the song Crippled Crow from that film was originally recorded by Kris and Rita Coolidge on one of the albums they did together. Streisand posted a tribute to him online mentioning how he joined her on stage in Hyde Park in 2019 to do one of the songs from the film.
