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&#8217;s just a vibe.  They have been featured in countless films and show that Jims legacy has lived on to this day. Croce&#8217;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&#8217;ve been musician. Croce&#8217;s albums would continued to sell many millions of albums after his death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"455\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/tjsthoughts\/files\/2022\/03\/455full-jim-croce.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/tjsthoughts\/files\/2022\/03\/455full-jim-croce.jpg 455w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/tjsthoughts\/files\/2022\/03\/455full-jim-croce-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/tjsthoughts\/files\/2022\/03\/455full-jim-croce-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jim Croce was an American guitarist from Philadelphia.
