Time in a Bottle was a posthumous No. 1 hit for singer-songwriter Jim Croce, reaching the top of the charts in December 1973, three months after his death in a plane crash. The song, written for his son A.J. Croce, appeared on his first album in 1972, You Don't Mess Around with Jim. Croce would subsequently shoot to fame with his summer 1973 hit single Bad Bad Leroy Brown, just months before a fatal plane crash on Sept. 20.

The song started receiving widespread airplay in the fall of 1973, after it was featured in an ABC TV movie She Lives! that starred Dezi Arnaz Jr. and Season Hubley.
