description: "Kristoffer Kristofferson was an American musician, songwriter, and actor. He was a pioneering figure in the outlaw country movement of the 1970s, moving away from the polished Nashville sound and toward a more raw, introspective style. Some of his most famous songs include \"Me and Bobby McGee\" (1970), \"For the Good Times\" (1968), \"Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down\" (1969), and \"Help Me Make It Through the Night\" (1970), which were also recorded by and became hits for other artists."
