This tune is a posthumously released single by the American singer-songwriter Jim Croce, originally found on his album ‘I Got a Name’. Croce was killed in a plane crash in September 1973, the same week that his studio album 'I Got a Name' was released.
Apparently, Jim Croce wrote this song, during the night, after he got into a disagreement with his wife. The next morning, he sang it to her.
I loved Jim Croce! He died way too young.
ReplyDeleteAwww, that's sweet!
ReplyDeleteI'm sad to learn he died like that.
He sure did, Debra.

It is sad, LaelShine. The world has lost a lot of musicians too early.
