On this episode, Karen speaks with AJ Croce, the son of legendary singer songwriter Jim Croce, who tragically died in a plane crash in 1973 when AJ was just 2. Croce died at the height of burgeoning success but left behind a number of noteworthy hits. His 1972 breakthrough album You Don’t Mess Around with Jim produced top-charting singles like “Time in a Bottle” and “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown.”
Listen as AJ shares his life’s journey, including the dark periods that followed the death of his father, the loss of his eyesight as a small child, and the loss of his wife of 24 years due to a rare heart virus. AJ, a successful musician in his own right with ten albums to his credit, shares how music was his constant companion during life’s most challenging times.
