A.J. Croce performs Croce Plays Croce, a special night of music featuring a complete set of classics by his late father, Jim Croce, some of his own tunes, and songs that influenced both him and his father. This tribute event features such timeless songs as “Operator,” “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim," “Time in a Bottle” (a song written for A.J.), “Rapid Roy (The Stock Car Boy),” and “Lovers Cross,” to name a few. Classic covers may include songs by Leiber and Stoller, Bessie Smith, and other folk and roots artists.
Jim Croce was an American folk singer with a short-lived professional recording and touring career and decades of posthumous fame as one of the greatest songwriters and artists ever. With sales surpassing 50 million records, plus three #1 songs and 10 Top 10 hits, Jim Croce’s brief career and enduring legacy are well-remembered through his era-defining standards like “Operator," “Time in a Bottle,” and “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown."
