In 1966, Jim Croce joined the Army National Guard to avoid being drafted and sent to Việt Nam. While stationed at Fort Dix in New Jersey, he met a man named Leroy Brown, who had gone AWOL but returned a few days later to get his paycheck and was arrested. Brown was the inspiration for Bad Bad Leroy Brown. Here is a live performance at Royce Hall, UCLA, June 20 1973.

It's been a long time since I've listened to the 70's countdown. Isn't it available on the app? I cannot find it.
I really would have liked to have heard this show with "Frankenstein" "Feelin' Stronger Every Day" and "So Very Hard To Go"
This would have been around the time I was invited to a friend's house for an overnight tent party. We had on WLS at night (I think with Steve King the DJ) and heard "Brother Louie"
"Feelin Stronger Every Day" and "So Very Hard To Go" The last two became lifelong favorites.
