Biography
Philadelphia, United States (1943 – 1973)
Early life
Croce was born in South Philadelphia. He graduated from Upper Darby High School in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania in 1960 where in 1976, he was the first former student to be added to the high school’s Wall of Fame. Then, while attending Villanova University (1965 graduate), Croce became interested in becoming a professional musician and met his future wife, Ingrid, at a hootenanny at Convention Hall in Philadelphia, where he was a judge for the contest.
Early career
During the early 1960s, Croce formed a number of college bands and performed at coffee houses and universities, and later with his wife Ingrid as a duo in the mid-1960s to early 1970s. At first their performances included songs by Ian and Sylvia, Gordon Lightfoot, Joan Baez, and Woody Guthrie, but in time they began writing their own music, such as “Age”, “Hey Tomorrow”, and “Spin, Spin Spin” which later led to Croce’s hit songs in the early seventies.

Did Jim Croce have a confirmed kill in the Vietnam War? Could he really play over 3000 songs? Did he abstain from drugs after a bad LSD experience? Was he a mentor to Don McClean?

Definitely top drawer driving music I agree! My job used to involve hoovering a hotel bar and I detested it... till I found the Photographs and Memories cd in the music player one morning and the rest is history :)

I don't know about anyone else, but I think his music is really great driving music if your driving across country.
