In 1965, Kristofferson was reassigned to the West Point military academy, where he was to become an English instructor. Kristofferson did so and he received encouragement from Wilkin, who had become a music publisher by founding Bighorn Music. Hearing his songs, a friend suggested sending them to a relative of his, the Nashville songwriter Marijohn Wilkin. During the early '60s, while rising to the rank of captain, he eventually returned to writing and performing, organizing a soldiers' band to play at service clubs.

He was assigned to West Germany and went there with his wife and their daughter.

Like his father, he became a pilot, learning to fly helicopters. Instead of returning to Oxford, he joined the Army. But during a Christmas break back home in California, he resumed his relationship with an old girlfriend, Fran Beir, and they married. Signing with Parnes, he made recordings for Top Rank Records produced by Tony Hatch (apparently never released) and performed under the name Kris Carson, but he was not successful.Īfter earning a master's degree in English literature from Oxford in 1960, Kristofferson intended to continue his studies there. While at Oxford, he wrote and performed his own songs, which brought him to the attention of manager Larry Parnes (who handled Tommy Steele and other British pop stars). He graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1958, having secured a prestigious Rhodes scholarship to continue his studies at Oxford University in England. There he studied creative writing and he won first prize and three other placements in a collegiate short-story contest sponsored by Atlantic Monthly magazine. He graduated from San Mateo High School in 1954 and entered Pomona College in Claremont, CA. The eldest of three children of an Air Force major general who retired from the military to head up air operations for the Saudi Arabian company Aramco, Kristofferson spent most of his childhood in Brownsville, TX, though his family moved around, finally settling in San Mateo, CA, by his junior high-school years. His renown as a songwriter enabled him to launch a moderately successful career as a musical performer and that, in turn, brought him to the attention of Hollywood, leading to a lengthy career as a film actor. By 1987, it was estimated that Kristofferson's compositions had been recorded by more than 450 artists. His songs "Me and Bobby McGee," "Help Me Make It Through the Night," "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down," and "For the Good Times," all chart-topping hits, helped redefine country songwriting, making it more personal and serious, much in the way that Bob Dylan's songs had transformed pop music songwriting in the mid-'60s.
