Jim Croce, singer-songwriter of the #1 hits Bad Bad Leroy Brown and Time in a Bottle , was at the height of his career when his life was cut short in a plane crash while on tour. Just 30 years old on September 20, 1973, Jim was revered by an adoring audience for his gentle melodies and everyman demeanor.
Now, for the first time, this memoir reveals the man behind the denim jackets and signature mustache, a hard-working, wry charmer who was also beset with exhaustion at the sheer magnitude of his own success. I Got a Name , told with full access to everyone who knew and loved Jim Croce, is at once a revealing portrait of a great artist and a moving love story.
