Another song by the late Jim Croce an artist who died way too early.

This clip is his performance as well as him telling how he came to write the song.

The song was on his Life and Times album.

It reach the Top Spot on Billboard charts on July 21, 1973 and was still on the charts when he died on September 20, 1973 in a plane crash.

One day before the release of Jim Croce’s third Album, I Got a Name, was released he died when the charter plan that he, Maury Muehleisen, and George Stevens, the comic who was the show’s warm up act were flying to the next concert site.  All on the plane died when it failed to gain attitude upon takeoff and hit a bunch of pecan trees.  This is one of the few live recordings of the title song from that album.
