Jim Croce (10 January 1943/42 – 20 September 1973) was an American folk and rock singer-songwriter.
A Cautionary Tale (with One Rhyme Sound)
On September 20, 1973, at the height of his popularity and the day before the lead single to his fifth album was released, Croce died in a plane crash. – adapted from Wikipedia
Jim Croce must have had some fun
When "Leroy Brown," hit number one.
Success, it seemed, had now begun.
He reveled in the fame he'd won,
But Fate by whom our web is spun,
Declared his time on earth was done.
And he was mourned by everyone.
