He was a good guy and singer who died on this date back then.

It’s not like BF posts a million times a day or ever anything frivolous.

Leave him be you big bully :)

I liked Jim.

I liked Jim as well, who sadly died at the young age of 30 in, Natchitoches, Louisiana, about 2 hours from where I live. Oh I see now, he died on this date 47 years ago. That was what i was missing. He could have mentioned that to bring clarity as to why he was posting this vanity. 8>)

Pop singer-songwriter Jim Croce, 30, was killed September 20th when the single-engine plane in which he and five others were riding hit a tree on takeoff.

The other victims in the accident were Croce’s second guitarist, Maury Meuhleisen; road manager Morgan Tell; comedian George Stevens, a booking agent, and the pilot.

“It was a single-engine plane, I believe,” said deputy Walter Braxton. “It was taking off and it did not get any altitude.” The plane went past the runway, hit the tree, and spun around in the air before crashing.

Are you turning into a SJW, calling me a bully because of my questioning his motive for his post? 8>)

BTW, I have every song he sang in my music collection. So, I think I actually love Jim Croce, but not in a sexual way, just musically. 8>)

September 20, 1973, was the day before the lead single to his fifth album, I Got A Name, was released.

Here is his son Adrian's rendition of I Got A Name
