Jim Croce (10 January 1943 – 20 September 1973) was an American folk and rock singer-songwriter.
Fatalism
On September 20, 1973, at the height of his popularity Croce and five others died in a plane crash. -- Wikipedia
Jim Croce’s life was one of those
Which had a tragic early close.
Time’s not captured in a bottle; –
We can plan, but at the throttle,
In control, but never seen,
Is Fate advancing in between
The plans we make and how they end -–
And that is how it is, my friend.

Sherrill Milnes (b. 10 January 1935) is an American dramatic baritone most famous for his Verdi roles.
Knowing Your Niche
Sherrill Milnes was always in control
In any leading baritonal role.
But it was Verdi where his virile voice
Became the world’s interpreter of choice.
