I know, so so sad! He produced so much incredible music in just that short time. It's so unfortunate, but I'm grateful for what we do have of his to enjoy always.
I think about that like all his fans. Ingrid, his widow, said he was going to leave the business altogether after his last short road tour. I would have to think even HE would not cut himself that short, financial frustrations and all. He WAS at that time red hot radio propery. I was 13 and he was soaring on the airwaves here in NY. He may have held out until he received the royalties he deserved.
Not taking away from Jim because he was a brilliant lyracists.....but wow man....Maury was flat out amazing. Classicly trained and education musician and it shows in every song. The melodic scales, alternating picking picking paterns.....just phenominal!
This is excellent!!Thanks sooo much for posting these ,this guy is unreal would have been a huge sucess if he had lived.I would like to find a cincert of him recorded somewhere if anyone knows please post??Thanks
the justice is when they all end up in jail and you see it on the news every week. lil wayne, chris brown, kanye west at the VMAs, there's your justice
hi max, thanks for this. great job. i am a great fan of jim croce myself. when i was sick with swine flu (kidding!), i made a cover of this and other jim croce songs. you will be disappointed with the voice but i should get kudos for daring. thanks!

Im 16 and i love the "old stuff" i think the stuff kids listen to today is crap.

Good for you!!!
But you ee, it's not old stuff, really: it reaches you, it means something to you, it will never be old.
Just think: 2 guys with guitars, no special FX, nothing..... and timeless!

he wrote some of the most passionate music ever, without sounding like a fag.
i think that if god wanted us to listen to a certain type of music, then it would be jim croce's music.
thank you jim! we miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
