I wore this 45 out on my turntable, and then the album of the same name became one of the first LPs I bought with my own allowance money. Thanks for posting. A great artist who has been long missed.

I loved the Midnight Special, this show was really for the younger generation to hear their favorite groups and enjoy their music on a Saturday night.

His son, A.J., was a toddler when Jim died, but became a musician himself. His fascinating, but painful story was told on CBS news recently. Google up "A.J. Croce on reconnecting with his father, Jim Croce" to see it.

My dad had his albums, and dad cried the day Jim Croce died. His loss was a huge one for music and for all of us.

I heard a interview with Jim before he was killed. He said he wrote that song about “Pool Cue Justice “ delivered to him in a pool hall. His story about “Bad Bad Leroy Brown” was another funny one. I wish he would have lived long enough to write a book about his salad days. Thanks for sharing!

Love to hear that interview. Thanks for sharing.. I was so sad when he passed for his son and wife and young son... I've seen some great documentaries ... Cut in his prim like to many ... :(

Anybody remember Soundstage that came on Saturday nights or King Biscult flower power. but came on late Saturday nights.
@jennifersman7990 Жыл бұрын
I remember both, Soundstage was OK but got too obscure after awhile IMO. King Biscuit was on different stations in my area, and you never knew week to week who they’d have on

Jim Croce was a super talent and was gone way too soon in a tragic plane crash. He was just 30 years old.
