Jim Croce Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Jim Croce (January 10, 1943 - September 20, 1973) was an American singer and songwriter. He began playing music in college, finally signing to ABC/Dunhill in 1973, releasing Life and Times later that year. You Don't Mess Around with Jim, Bad, Bad Leroy Brown and Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels) helped the album reach #1 on the charts.Croce died in a plane crash on September 20 1973 in Natchitoches, Louisiana before releasing the follow-up, I Got a Name in 1974. The posthumous release included two hits, Time in a Bottle (written for his newborn son) and I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song. Several releases since have sold moderately well. Croce was interred in the Haym Soloman Memorial Park cemetery in Frazer, Pennsylvania.
Recently, his widow, Ingrid, was allowed to obtain the permissions for all of his songs. Since then, she has allowed a PBS special to be made from archive footage as well as footage from the Croce family collection, in order to, in her words, "keep his legacy alive".
