Sunday Morning Coming Down—Kris Kristofferson

Here’s a version of Kris singing with Johnny Cash, who did the best cover of it.

If I may add something?

This is the song Kris wrote and presented to June in her backyard via helicopter. When he handed her the music, he said to her:

"I've just written Johnny's next hit"

He was right and Johnny's version is the first recording of that song. Chris released his version after he became a star, with a big push from Johnny Cash.

As an aside: At my son's wedding, some years ago, I met the guitar player who toured with Kris (and others) and was a studio guitarist in Nashville. In our discussion he confirmed the story to me, correcting some errors in version I had heard years earlier.

I love that song. Don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad rendition of it.
