Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist A.J. Croce waited decades to play his famous father’s songs, developing a setlist from Jim Croce’s catalog for his Croce Plays Croce tour at 50 years old.
Croce Plays Croce tours to Bloomington this weekend, for one performance only on Sunday, Sept. 28.
“I’m looking forward to it,” he said. I’m spending my birthday in Bloomington.”
Singer-songwriter and master guitar player Jim Croce died Sept. 20, 1973, in a plane crash. He was 30, the crash happening just before his son’s second birthday. The elder Croce’s career had just taken off, with hits like Time in a Bottle, Operator and Bad, Bad Leroy Brown among some of the most popular of the decade.
Well I could not help it but to fall in love
With this heavy-duty woman I been speakin’ of
Things looked kind of bad
Until the day she skated into my life
