Couple Profile

Jim Croce was born in early 1943 in a working-class section of Philadelphia in an Italian-American family. While in his teens, he began playing the accordion, and then learning to play an acoustic guitar when he was 18. After a short stint in the U.S. Army, where he supposedly met the character who inspired the song "Bad Bad Leroy Brown," Jim entered Villanova University for a degree in psychology, but he spent a lot of time working with bands, playing music and performing solo. After graduation, Jim worked as a construction worker where after an accident, he then worked as a teacher in a junior high school in South Philadelphia. In 1966, Jim married his wife Ingrid and the following year they moved to New York City where as a folk duo performed in city nightclubs and coffeehouses and tried to record an album. Jim and his wife moved back to Pennsylvania where they bought a farmhouse and their first son, Adrian, was born in 1970 while Jim worked as a truck driver to pay the bills. A year later, one of Jim`s former college friends encouraged him to record some of his newer songs and send them to ABC Records where they signed Jim up and his first album "You Don`t Mess Around With Jim" was released in 1972 and was one of the top 20 sellers in the USA. From 1972 to 1973, Jim Croce performed in more than 250 concerts, appeared as a guest on numerous TV programs and recored his second album in mid 1973 titled "Life and Times." Jim Croce`s career came to a sudden end when he and his musical partner Maury Muehlelsen and others boarded a private airplane in Louisiana to travel to a gig in Texas when the plane crashed shortly after takeoff killing everyone on board. His posthumous album includes the songs "I Got a Name," "Time in a Bottle" and "I`ll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" which were posthumous hits. In the lyrics to the hauntingly wistful "Time in a Bottle", Jim left his own best epitaph as if he was foreseeing his own death: "There never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do once you find them."
