Jim Croce was only 30 years-old when he died in a place crash on June 30, 1973. He was another singer-song writer that made this e world a better place to live. Of course he had a whole catalog of great material out but never lived long enough to spend any of the money. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite but this one was so mellow.
Another Blast from the Past - Tim Hardin
ReplyDeleteWhat a great talent- he wrote some songs that are so romantic.
If I were a carpenter, Reason To Believe, Hang on To A Dream, Misty Roses among others.
Everyone sang his songs from Bobby Darin, Joan Baez, the Nice, Rod Stewart and on and on. I think he has been extremely underated in US. It is hard to find Tim Hardin actually singing but I found this.

Another fantastic choice, Paul!!! What an amazingly unique voice Jim Croce had. Such a tragic loss of talent at such a young age.
