Description
Jim Croce spent nearly a decade struggling to break into the music industry. Working blue-collar jobs by day and playing small gigs by night, he was on the verge of giving up—until everything changed.
In just two years, he released some of the most iconic songs of the 1970s, including "Time in a Bottle," "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," and "Operator." But just as his career was taking off, tragedy struck. On September 20, 1973, Jim Croce died in a plane crash at just 30 years old—one day before his next big show.
This short documentary looks back at the heartbreaking rise and sudden fall of a timeless singer-songwriter, and the haunting story behind the song that made him a legend.
