Country legend Kris Kristofferson joins Lady A (formerly Lady Antebellum) for a heartfelt rendition of his timeless classic “Help Me Make It Through the Night” on Skyville Live, recorded on January 7, 2016, in Nashville, Tennessee. This special performance was part of an episode celebrating Kristofferson’s remarkable songwriting legacy and influence across generations of country and Americana music.
Originally written and recorded by Kristofferson in 1970, the song became a standard after Sammi Smith’s soulful 1971 version topped the country charts and crossed over to pop audiences, earning a Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. With its tender melody and vulnerable lyrics, the song speaks to the universal human need for love and connection.
In this Skyville Live performance, Kristofferson’s weathered voice pairs beautifully with Lady A’s rich harmonies, giving new emotional depth to one of his most enduring works — a poignant meeting of country music’s past and present.
