About the song
When Barbra Streisand remembers Kris Kristofferson, she doesn’t just recall a colleague — she recalls a man who changed the way she looked at art and humanity. In her touching tribute, she describes Kris as someone “special,” a word that feels almost too simple to capture the depth of his spirit. Their collaboration in A Star Is Born was more than a film; it was a meeting of two souls who understood pain, love, and the quiet strength that lies beneath vulnerability.
Kris, with his rugged charm and poetic heart, brought a raw honesty to every role and every song. Barbra saw this in him from the very beginning. She admired not only his talent but also his courage to be real in an industry that often demands masks. Her words remind us that behind his tough exterior was a gentle, thoughtful man who cared deeply about people and stories.
Her memories are filled with warmth and respect — she calls him “special” because he dared to share his heart without fear. In her eyes, Kris was not just a co-star but a mirror reflecting her own passion and sincerity. Their connection was rare and genuine, leaving a legacy that inspires artists and fans alike.
Through Barbra’s emotional tribute, we see a glimpse of a friendship built on admiration and mutual trust. It is a beautiful reminder of how true artistry goes beyond fame — it touches lives, breaks down walls, and stays in our hearts long after the last note fades.
