Jim Croce was one of the premier architects of the singer/songwriter movement in the early '70s, and during his much revered musical career, he managed to successfully cultivate his story telling, humor and heartfelt thoughts and heartbreak into some of the most memorable songs and melodies ever recorded. His legendary ABC recordings are the soundtrack to a generation of music enthusiasts that continues to this day and will forever stand the test of time. "There's something about approaching universal truths with the simplicity of the acoustic guitar," Croce declared. "You can take it anywhere and it helps me reach listeners of all ages and walks of life." Issued a year after Croce's tragic death in an airplane crash, 1974's Platinum-certified Photographs and Memories: His Greatest Hits pulls signature cuts from the singer/songwriter's three consecutive Gold ABC efforts You Don't Mess Around with Jim ("Operator," "Time in a Bottle," "You Don't Mess Around with Jim"), Life and Times ("Bad, Bad Leroy Brown") and I Got a Name ("I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song," "I Got a Name").
