I'm off to Fort Jackson this summer to do my basic training at the same place Jim did his. I know lots of guys go there every couple of months, but it makes it just a little bit more special to me.
Where were you when you heard of his death? I remember! I also remember when JFK was assasinated, his brother, Bobby, Martin Luter King, Jr, John Lennon, and oh so many more! Songs like this are the sound-track of my life!
He was such a good man.....my stepfather met him, and to this day, we still share a love for him. If it weren't for that plane crash, I would kill myself to meet him.
The commitments artists have and still do make to their music is humbling. You couldn't have paid me to fly in a plane 30 years ago yet these guys did it practically every night to share their music with the world. RIP Jim.
I had the old "tape" of his albumn at the time. I lost it when my daughter totalled our 1965 bronze mustange. I never got the tape back and have missed that particular one ever since.
These songs held meaning for the artists as well as their audience. They came onstage in their unglamorous awesomeness and did what they do best. Play music. The popular music now is just so empty. And then you listen in the MP3 format which takes away most of the tone. Where Jim's music is like an antique table made of mahogony, artists nowdays are making cardboard tables with a coat of neon spray paint
I was one of the lucky ones to grow up in this era of music when it told a story and left you with a good feeling I saw Jim the night his plane went down in Louisiana I remember getting home from the concert turning on the tv and hearing the sad news one thing good out of this is though Jim perished at such an early age his like many others music will live on for an eternity I've handed this music to my children and I hope they will hand it down to theirs
@musicman42152 wow that's an amazing story. I remember these songs from when I was very young in the '70s, I only knew him as "that singer who died in the plane crash"
Jim and Maury passed September 20,1973 in natchitoches la shortly after a concert when their chartered plane crashed! Found by NTSb to be pilot error! Many people who helped Jim career, namely Maury his lead man, and others helped his career! Some have never gotten due credit! Don't believe all you read about his life there are alot of hard feelings and untold truths!!
This is one of those "Where were you when" you heard. I was in the front seat of my then boy-friends car, waiting for cass to start, when we heard over the radio that Jim Croce had died in a plane crash, after doing a concert he was ful-filling, after he & his band couln't make the 1st. Yep, another "Day the music died"!
If I'm not mistaken, he died within a week of this performance. I believe his backup guys, or one of them died too. They all were so talented. This song moves me every time I hear it. It makes you think about your self worth in this world. Nobody can take that away from you, unless you get thrown in prison, I guess.
The guy on the right, Maury Muelheisen, backup guitarist/singer died with Jim. He was only 24. He was very talented and vital to the Croce sound. Tommy West is playing piano here. He was one half of the production team along with Terry Cashman (of Talkin' Baseball fame). Much as one can appreciate his work on Jim's records, Ingrid had to fight for years to claim royalties that were due Jim. Up till then he made more driving a truck. This is after touring and selling many many records.
i was headed to work,i started doing a guitar---paino singles in houston i make sure i did some jim croce .loved playing his songs,now i'm 62 relearning those sang songs and git back on stage ,i was at my locker at HS when jfk got shot.the world has changed since our time i think it'z time for a change!!!!!
I was in the front seat of my boy-friends car, waiting for class to start when the news came over the radio that Jim Croce had died in a plane crach. It's kinda like, "Where were you when you heard JFK was shot? Music is the story of my life, & yours as well , whether you know it or not.
They don't come like Jim Croce anymore. They just don't. A true American song writer, musician and a true performer. No frills, no bs, just pure talent.RIP Jim you are sure missed.
Jim was my idol when I was 16. I had been playing guitar for 4 years and when I saw this on TV, I immediately gravitated to his style and even tried but failed to grow his signature mustache! Due to my Czech/Scottish/English decent I suppose. I still have pencil sketches I drew of him. My favorite song of his was Rapid Roy.
@RevCindi Maury released 1 LP called Gingerbread. His family has bought the rights from Capitol and it is available in CD format also an additional CD of demos from the same release. Well worth seeking out. Maury was the magic that pulled Jim together. 2 of my alltime favorite artists, tragic loss.
@Contakum I'd like to thank Jim too. He had a beautiful heart and Soul. i'm sure he's entertaining God now. All the best singers die early, because Heaven needs them.
"Like the fool that I am and I'll always be, I got a dream, I got a dream. They can change their mind but they can't change me! I got a dream, I got a dream." Amazingly powerful lyrics, particularly as you get older and understand what they truly mean. Jim told wonderful stories with his music. I miss that.
His collaborator was killed in the crash also. I've watched numerous documentaries about Croce and little is said about Maury Muehleisen.
The significant others are often overlooked and underestimated when it comes to music groups. A TV show host once introduced Richard Carpenter as the 'piano player' for the Carpenters. Someone like that would probably introduce Maury as 'the guy that helps play guitar for Jim'.
@JohnnyCxviii If you're ever in San Diego, try to stop into "Croce's" restaurant, in the gas lamp district. Ingrid Croce has many of Jim's hand written song lyrics framed and hanging on the wall. The food is good too! I Got a Name is from the 1973 movie, The Last American Hero, starring Jeff Bridges as Junior Jonhnson. IMHO, this is one of his best songs.
@iluvguildguitars Thanks for the tip. I was just in San Diego last spring and I wish I would have known about it then. I'll go to Croce's on my next stop. I saw that Jeff Bridges movie some years back but I don't remember the song--heck, I barely remember the movie. I'll be sure to DVR it the next time it runs. Thanks again!
wow this guy was awesome...where is all that good music now? because what i hear on the radio is not music but pure garbage and nonsense, but this is music! man.....where did all this good music go?! R.I.P Jim
Jim Croce... (May he rest in peace) ... Proving, like so many other musicians of the era, that the Ovation is one of the greatest acoustic guitars ever made... xD
Yep. Not sure where you live but the blue collar look is in (in some areas) Sorry if my comment does not ring true to you in your neck of the woods. But thanks for the comment.
Man..this guy was amazingly talented!!...perhaps one of the more underrated songwriters of the 20th century...yes, he does get recognition, but not enough--due to the sublime level of both his music and lyrics...to all potential singers and songwriters--we need another Jim Croce in the world...where are you at?...
@jokerswildio I'm a musician... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! xD I wish I was half as talented as Jim! Haha, but he is one of my influences in music, and I hope to one day be as popular as he was...
@jokerswildio totally agree man i love jim croce his lyriics are so inspiring this song here describes a dream hes followed and continued to do even when people kept telling him he couldnt or wouldnt do it.they call him a fool but he showed them all i love this song so much i love all his songs they are masterpeices
many good songs were made (at least shown and heard) in 1 9 7 3 good songs in the 80s to but now all's i have to say is WAT HAPPEND TO MUSIC? Tada age 12
That was an awesome video...but I have a question for you....have you ever seen a real UFO...you know from another world kind of UFO...do you even believe were being visited and have been for thousands of years? Well I just moved to this awesomely beautiful city in southern Utah, called St George and UFO's are alive and well here...don't believe me?...I filmed them and they are flashing rainbow colors..red, blue,yellow, green, and white, click on my moondawgee moniker under this box to see them.
Maury,the other guy playing acustic gutiar,is the reason Jim sounds so good. Please don't get me wrong....Jim was a gifted singer/songwriter.....but without Maury,he wouldn't sound the same.
@Wtfgtfoooo They were never a band in the traditional sense. Jim wrote the songs and employed musicians to record the albums. His good friend Maury was his sidekick, providing amazing guitar and vocals. When they performed in concert is was usually just the two of them.
@Zenbone65 ...and some of those musicians included Eric Weissberg (Dueling Banjos) he's on "Careful Man", the late Ellie Greenwich (70's Disco singer)She's on most all background vocals, Rick Marotta (Drummer for many California Folk Rock Musicians) and Willie McCoy (you know, ...'but back home they call me Slim. Yea I'm lookin' for the King of 42nd street..) And yet his live performances stood close to their studio sound. God, how I miss them.
@sewerrod your right they don't write songs like this anymore but you sound ignorant when you make statements like, "Stupid hip hop lady gaga, black gibberish rap bulllshit", stop trying to troll becasuse its making me and a lot of other people sick (source cited: your profile).
I was so lucky to see him live, as an opening act for Woody Allen, no less. He and Maury played and Jim told stories that I swear were funnier than Woody's stand up. It was at the Valley Forge Music Fair. I remember them literally running off the stage when they were done so this song is very poignent for me - the bit about "moving me down the highway...so life won't pass me by" really seems to be the way he lived his life. What a beautiful man and props to his guitar player, Maury.
Listened to Jim while in High School, had the 8 tracks and the day he died I did a little as well. I drove a truck later in life maybe because Jim did, maybe I was looking for him out on the road.
@TheStevenAyers wow! I predicted the demise of the 8 track. they woul'nt fit in the glovebox as many as cassette's. I didn't predict Jim's death. Hell, he went to my high school
@heinibimmler thank god for that old fashion music !!!!!! since that period is gone forever, since the power of the recording music world is now in the hands of a new age self made so called artist that will not allow others music you know the kind you can sing play real instrument and doesn t nead to exploite the female (BITCHES) buts and explicit video that sadly young girls and boys ears everywhere......my only joy is knowing that they will never be performing some 30 or + like the real ones
@Portiaferdy1 well you are obviously fucking retarded and need to go back to school. maybe you should read the post again. i wasnt talking about croce. i was talking about the people who dislike the song you fuckin dumb retard
Hey, Virgo396...I do suck cock...this song is my very first favorite song and still is today...I agree anyone who doesn't like anything by Jim Croce is either deaf or simply jackasses. So rethink your comment...
what about harry chapin , does that mean nobody can drive on the L.I.E ? "long island express way" or in a car for that matter, but back to the reason im here, croce was frickin awesome !
People like Jim Croce were put on this earth for a reason. True beauty permeates through his song. His song gives me hope and strength. Croce was a true spiritual and musical genius. A God send to us all.
They do not make music like this anymore and we might never see this quality ever again. Download them and save them for your children and their children.
An emotionally stirring song from one of the greatest singers and songwriters who ever lived. His life was tragically cut short, one can only imagine how prolific Jim would have been if he had lived. No music being made today sounds half as good as this.
60 poor souls will never know good music!

@nerblebun I feel they should've had a band name instead of it just being 'Jim Croce'. Without each other, none of them would sound as good

@Wtfgtfoooo I have also thought this..but who wrote all the lyrics and music?
Danyerd 3 months ago
@Danyerd My guess is Jim Croce, seeing that the band name is Jim Croce he must've done at least 90% of the writing
Wtfgtfoooo 3 months ago
@Wtfgtfoooo They were never a band in the traditional sense. Jim wrote the songs and employed musicians to record the albums. His good friend Maury was his sidekick, providing amazing guitar and vocals. When they performed in concert is was usually just the two of them.

@Zenbone65 ...and some of those musicians included Eric Weissberg (Dueling Banjos) he's on "Careful Man", the late Ellie Greenwich (70's Disco singer)She's on most all background vocals, Rick Marotta (Drummer for many California Folk Rock Musicians) and Willie McCoy (you know, ...'but back home they call me Slim. Yea I'm lookin' for the King of 42nd street..) And yet his live performances stood close to their studio sound. God, how I miss them.

I was so lucky to see him live, as an opening act for Woody Allen, no less. He and Maury played and Jim told stories that I swear were funnier than Woody's stand up. It was at the Valley Forge Music Fair. I remember them literally running off the stage when they were done so this song is very poignent for me - the bit about "moving me down the highway...so life won't pass me by" really seems to be the way he lived his life. What a beautiful man and props to his guitar player, Maury.

Listened to Jim while in High School, had the 8 tracks and the day he died I did a little as well. I drove a truck later in life maybe because Jim did, maybe I was looking for him out on the road.

People like Jim Croce were put on this earth for a reason. True beauty permeates through his song. His song gives me hope and strength. Croce was a true spiritual and musical genius. A God send to us all.

An emotionally stirring song from one of the greatest singers and songwriters who ever lived. His life was tragically cut short, one can only imagine how prolific Jim would have been if he had lived. No music being made today sounds half as good as this.
