Oh that's sad

I thought he was much younger somehow many celebrities seem stuck in "young" don't they?

Aw - I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't realise he was that age as the PP said.

Abraham Whistler, rip

Freedom ain't worth nothing but it's free

Wow. End of an era.

Agree

Such great songs

And does anyone remember Kris and Rita on The Old Grey WhistleTest singing Help Me Make It Through The Night?

Wonderful actor

A great actor and singer, they just had a piece about him on BBC, rip

So sad. Saw him live whenever he performed in the UK. Thanks for the music. For the Good Times 🥂

Don't let the bastards get you down.
So much more than a song writer

”The beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad so I had one more for dessert.”

Another one of the “Highway men.” gone.

Didn't know he was on TOGWT

I had such a crush on him. Great actor and singer. Didn't realise that he was so much older than me.

Do you mean the hottest thing you ever saw from two people fully clothed and in the standing position? If so, I do.

I ain't sayin' I beat the Devil, but I drank his beer and I stole his song.

First album i ever bought was The Silver Tongued Devil, was going to,post on the other thread about first albums but didn't think anyone else would remember him. Loved his music and acting. Maggie Smith then Kris, expecting Gene Hackman any time soon then all my favourites gone....

Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose.

What a songwriter, what a life.

Just watched this. Wow!

Yes that was one of my first albums although Me and Bobby McGee was and still is the best album ever imo.
The one I'm dreading hearing the news about is Brian Wilson. Love that man so much.

<fans self>

Any guesses what he whispered to her at the end?

No wonder he had 8 kids. I’m 50 and I just spontaneously ovulated.

he was also a Rhodes scholar at Oxford and a helicopter pilot in Vietnam.So more to him than the fabulous film/music career

Supported Sinead O'Connor when it was neither popular nor profitable to do so, and wrote a rather sweet song about her.

I'm with you on that one. Rip Kris, you brought so much to so many of us.

😂Yes - caused a sensation among all of us “proper” young ladies at the time.
