Jim Croce was an American guitarist from Philadelphia. He was born in the year 1943 and started writing and singing songs professionally in 1966. His debut album, Facets, was a self published album. He used a 500$ cash wedding gift to finance his album. Producing 500 albums it proved to be a success as he sold every copy. He would go on to produce 5 total studio albums during his career. His most notable songs are Time in a bottle, Bad bad Leroy brown and I Got Name. My personal favorite song by Mr. Croce has to be, Tomorrows Gonna Be a Brighter Day, on a nice sunny day it’s just a vibe. They have been featured in countless films and show that Jims legacy has lived on to this day. Croce’s career came to end one a fateful night after his pane crashed during takeoff after a concert. He died at just 30 years in th e prime of his career, Jim Croce is another sad case of a what could’ve been musician. Croce’s albums would continued to sell many millions of albums after his death.

Wow, I used to listen to “Bad Bad Leroy Brown” all the time growing up because it was one of my mom’s favorite songs, but I had no idea about the artist behind the song. I’m so sad that he had such a tragic ending but glad that we have his songs to remember him.
I like how informational this blog post is. I will have to go research a bit more about him and listen to some songs. That is a terrible ending to his life.
