Most people have no clue that Willie wrote that song.
Like Kristofferson, Willie was a prolific song writer of many country hits that were performed by other artists.
Others, like Billie Joe Shaver launched careers of people like Waylon Jennings with their poetry.
Check the Tommy Collins song I posted and listen to the Buck Owens guitar riffs in the "Leonard" Merle Haggard song I posted.
Another great talent who mentored and wrote great songs, but unfortunately, Tommy didnt have all the other ingredients to become a "Willie Nelson".

Willie ain't no Patsy Cline.

I saw Kristofferson talking on Charlie Rose one night when I couldn't sleep and really was blown away by him. Didn't realize he was a Rhode Scholar.

First off, Kristofferson, as a song writer has few equals.
I posted his version of Sunday morning because if you listen to the words, its pure poetry, and a beautiful tribute to Johnny Cash. KK was visibly breaking up in moments while performing the tribute, which I found touching.
Cash took that song and made it his own, just as Waylon took "To beat the Devil".
The Johnny Cash version of the song IS the song, in much the same way that the Hendrix version of Dylan's "All along the Watchtower" is.

Humanity, I can see that, pure unadulterated humanity. We need more of that in this world.
