In the spring of 1977, Kris Kristofferson was at the apex of his film career, having recently co-starred in the box-office hit A Star Is Born and won a Golden Globe Award for it. At the same time, his recording career was on the wane; his two most recent solo albums, Who's to Bless...and Who's to Blame (1975) and Surreal Thing (1976) had failed to break into the top 100 of the pop LP charts. Monument Records seized on his movie celebrity to release his first compilation, which emphasized his early success as a songwriter over his actual recordings. In 1970-71, he had scored four number one hits as a writer -- "Help Me Make It Through the Night," "For the Good Times," and "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down" on the country charts, and "Me and Bobby McGee" on the pop charts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kris_Kristofferson
