???? One tiny lyric change helped turn a controversial song into a country classic.
In 1970, Kris Kristofferson wrote “Help Me Make It Through the Night.” When Sammi Smith recorded her version, she changed one important word in the opening line—from “your hair” to “my hair.” That small change shifted the perspective of the song toward the woman’s own voice and choice. �

The recording became a major crossover hit, reaching No. 1 on the U.S. country chart and No. 8 on the pop chart. It also sold more than 2 million copies and earned Smith a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance, Female. �
