Jim Croce - Photographs & Memories (Covers SLD)
I make this video is for my Yahoo! 360 Blog, My favourite music, My music world ... A Tribute to Jim Croce ...Jim Croce(Jan 10, 1943 - Sep 20, 1973)Croce, 30, and Muehleisen, 24, died in a small commercial plane crash on September 20, 1973, one day before his third ABC album, I Got a Name was to be released. The posthumous release included three hits, "I Got A Name," "Workin' At The Car Wash Blues" and "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song."Croce had just completed a concert in Natchitoches, Louisiana, and was flying to Sherman, Texas. The pilot and all passengers (Croce, Muehleisen, and the comic who was the show's warm up act) were killed instantly at 10:45 PM EST on September 20, 1973, less than an hour after the end of their last concert. Upon takeoff, the plane did not gain enough altitude to clear an area of large pecan trees at the end of the runway. The official report from the NTSB hints that the charter pilot, Robert Newton Elliott, who had severe coronary artery disease and had run a portion of the 3 miles to the airport from a motel, may have suffered a heart attack causing him to crash into the trees on a clear runway with excellent visibility. A later investigation placed sole blame for the accident on pilot error.Croce was laid to rest in the Philadelphia area, even though he had recently relocated to San Diego. Family, friends, and fans were stunned to learn of the premature death of the two musicians.Jim's personal motto: "If you dig it, do it. If you really dig it, do it twice." ...Rest in Peace ... Dear Jim!Artist: Jim Croce Album: Photographs & Memories His Greatest HitsSong: Photographs & MemoriesPhotographs and memoriesChristmas cards you sent to meAll that I have are these to remember youMemories that come at nightTake me to another timeBack to a happier day, When I called you mineBut we sure had a good timeWhen we started way back whenMorning walks and bedroom talksOh, how I loved you thenSummer skies and lullabiesNights we couldn't say goodbyeAnd of all of the things that we knewNot a dream survivedPhotographs and memoriesAll the love you gave to meSomehow it just can't be trueIt's all I've left of youBut we sure had a good timeWhen we started way back whenMorning walks and bedroom talksOh, how I loved you then*

Yes, I've heard of it. Pam wrote a collection of poems on her life. She also wrote a mini-biography of herself. It was distributed at the funeral. Nothing is concrete or set in stone, but her family was thinking about having it published.

have you ever heard of the book "Tuesdays with Morrie"? I think you would appreciate it more than I did. I have never been through that experience. It is about a professor who has ALS and his journey of his realization of the importance of life and death. On a less serious note, Ventura Highway is my favorite song of all time!! GO AMERICA!!

I always remember you, Ralph, when I hear this song. Indeed, I only have memories to remember you. I wonder if you still remember me. This song is for you.

Which is also a great song by a great group!

Thanks. As I wrote on another reply, they also played Ventura Highway by America.

I'm sorry to hear that even though you and I never got in touch before - my symphathy. God bless. This song, I think, also means much to every Jim Croce fan, like me, who is getting more and more a fan of this impressing man.

The sad thing of Pam is this: she had remarried on January 22, 2005. She was diagnosed on May 5 of that year. But her husband really stuck by her. She didn't want any sympathy from anyone, because she said that she had been so blessed in her life, even through her down times. And even her ex and his new wife helped out, too. |
