"Me and Bobby McGee" was written by Kris Kristofferson with co-writing credit to Fred Foster, who suggested the song's concept. Roger Miller originally performed it, while a posthumously released version by Janis Joplin became a major chart success, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971 and ranking as the year's eleventh-biggest song. This made it only the second posthumous number-one single in U.S. history. Other artists including Gordon Lightfoot and Jerry Lee Lewis also recorded successful versions.
