He was to folk what Neil Diamond was to Rock.

And Croce was a fine songwriter and singer, I love my vintage 70's cheese, and he was a master.
He was the folk equivalent...

of Billy Joel. He was a master story teller and for the early 70's he was on his way to being a major force in the music business. Music is very different now and Croce has still managed to remain in the public consciousness.

When discussions arise about musicians who's fame and standing in the music realm were cut far short of their prime, I always think of Buddy Holly and Jim Croce first.
