    • Bad, Bad Leroy Brown (1973) This breakout song from Croce’s album, “Life and Times,” was released in July 1973. This breakout song opens with a raucous piano opening and tells the story of a Chicago man that you had better not cross, because he was “badder than old King Kong” and “meaner than a junkyard dog.”
    • Time in a Bottle (1973) This song is from Croce’s third album, “You Don’t Mess Around With Jim.” Croce’s plaintive lyrics tell the listener that “there never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do once you find them.”
    • You Don’t Mess Around With Jim (1972) This song, from the album of the same name, could be called the older brother of “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown.” The theme is similar, only this time the scene is New York City and not the South Side of Chicago.
    • I Got A Name (1973) Beginning in August 1973, Croce entered the studio to work on songs for a new album. “I Got A Name,” was released posthumously on Dec.
