“Help Me Make It Through The Night,” A Controversial Piece

Kristofferson wrote and recorded the song in 1970. Various covers of the song were also released by artists like Sammi Smith and Hank Crawford. Almost all the re-records and cover releases were a hit which made the song among the most successful country singles of all time in terms of popularity, sales, and radio airplay.

The song became controversial because it speaks of a man’s desire for intimate relations. In 1971, the song was covered by Sammi Smith which became the talk in the country music industry since the lyrics go:

I don’t care what’s right or wrong

I don’t try to understand

Let the devil take tomorrow

Lord tonight I need a friend
