JIM CROCE, 1943-1973. Una gran pérdida para la música perder a este maravilloso cantante tan pronto. A great loss for music to lose this wonderful singer so soon.
Compuso varias canciones de éxito, que hoy se consideran clásicos del folk americano,2 pero falleció repentina y trágicamente en un accidente de aviación cuando empezaba a conocerse masivamente su arte.
He is best remembered for the songs «Time in a Bottle» and «Bad, Bad Leroy Brown», both of which were number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1973. The latter was performed by Frank Sinatra and inspired one of Queen’s songs.1
He composed several hit songs, which are now considered American folk classics,2 but died suddenly and tragically in a plane crash just as his art was becoming widely known.
"Si pudiera guardar el tiempo en una botella,
lo primero que me gustaría hacer,
es guardar cada uno de los días,
hasta que la eternidad pase de largo,
solamente para pasarlos contigo.".......................................................If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
