Featured Artist

Jim Croce was a native of Philadelphia who took a strong interest in music at a young age.  At five, he learned to play his first song on the accordion, “Lady of Spain.”

Jim began to take music seriously when he began attending Villanova University in 1961.  While a student, he sang with the Villanova Singers and a group called The Spires.  He was also a student DJ at WXVU.  Croce formed various bands and performed at fraternity parties, coffee houses, and other colleges in the area.  Jim released his first album, Facets, in 1966, with 500 copies pressed. The album had been financed with a $500 wedding gift from Croce's parents, who set a condition that the money must be spent to make an album. They hoped that he would give up music after the album failed, and use his college education to pursue a "respectable" profession.  However, the album proved a success, with every last copy sold.

Croce spent the mid-60s to the early 70s performing with his wife, Ingrid,  around the country.  In 1972, Croce signed to a three-record deal with ABC Records and released two albums, You Don't Mess Around with Jim and Life and Times. The singles "You Don't Mess Around with Jim", "Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels)", and "Time in a Bottle" (written for his then-unborn son, A. J. Croce) all received airplay. Croce's biggest single, "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", hit No. 1 on the American charts in July 1973.

On Thursday, September 20, 1973, the day that his ABC single "I Got a Name" was released, Croce and five others were killed in the crash of a chartered Beechcraft E18S upon takeoff from the Natchitoches Regional Airport in Natchitoches, Louisiana.

The album I Got a Name was released on December 1, 1973.  Croce had finished recording the album just over a week before his death.  The posthumous release included three hits: "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues", "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song", and the title song. The album reached No. 2 and "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" reached No. 9 on the singles chart.
