Jim Croce had a LOT more than “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown”. He was just getting started and had a string of Top 10 hits. I remember in 1975 Casey Kasem’s Top Acts of the 70s countdown had him at #6, behind Paul McCartney & Wings, but ahead of Elton John. (Of the the top 4, one of them fell onto near total obscurity ... 3 Dog Night was #3).

Time In A Bottle is still a beautiful song.

John Denver’s Annie’s Song is another.

Worlds apart from the dreck out there today.

“Jim Croce had a LOT more than “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown”.”

He was a musical genius. Who knows what music we have missed out on.
