review 1: Very touching memoir written by his wife. Lots of things I didn't know about the man with enough love in his heart to write some of the most beautiful love songs ever recorded (Time in a Bottle, I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song). Didn't realize how much the recording company took advantage of him - he and his family should have had more money to work with in his lifetime! I enjoyed it and would recommend it to someone who would like to know more about him.
review 2: Was a huge Jim Croce fan in the early 1970's, but I'm kind of regretting that I read this bio of him. Written by his wife Ingrid, she does a good job describing the many years it ook for him to become an "overnight success". He certainly paid his dues and even after he was selling millions of r... moreecords he was not really making any money, thanks to Cashman and West. As for Jim himself........Ingrid tells the raw truth regarding him. He almost comes off sounding bi-polar the way she describes him. I can't imagine her staying married to him, if hed not have died so unexpectedly when he did. The book just left me feeling kind of "blahh" when I was done. Kind of wish I hadn't read it. less
