  • good choice, Quentin

  • when i was younger my dad had me listening to jm croce and i thought we looked silly singing and dancing to these songs but lookin back at it now makes me soo happy that we had our one favorite singer that brought us closer:)

  • Tarantino's new western film "Django Unchained" brought me here!

  • @Tusc9969 yep

  • Sounds like the intro to interstate love song

  • 14 and I love this song. 60's 70's and 80's music is my world.

  • Mort Goldman brought me here

  • @corndoggy84 Dang, you beat me to it, LOL!

  • @charlestonchewy

    LOL when i heard Mort singing that i about fell over. SO funny

  • I was only 6 when he died but I do remember listening to him on mom & dads record player Or hearing my dad sing some of the lyrics while we fixed old cars, great memories had his greatest hits tape in my sony walkman he got me through some rough times while exploring america by thumb wish we had good music today like we had way back then....

  • I was born in the early 50s and got to hear this and the other great music when you listened to the radio and bought records and albums. Living during that time just added to the richness. Yes you have instant access but we got to live when one great song replaced another as they moved up the charts. We still had songs like this bouncing around in our head to this day. I am beginning to hear a few new songs worth listening too. Hope the 2010s and 2020 produce what the 50s to 90s did.

  • que som belo viva jim croce

  • This was my theme song in 1996 and it's a great song.

  • Why do people wish they were born in previous decades for music? Being alive today means you have access to an entire half century of music via the internet. You wouldn't get that in the mid 70's. And if you were born in the 60's you'd start missing the 70's, 80's etc. We're living in the Golden Age.

  • Heard it from family guy ^_^

  • Hey guys? There's plenty of good music still being made. You just have to look harder for it. Popular music is generally bad, sure, but when in the last six or seven decades has that not been the case? I'm a teenager and I find it much easier to find great contemporary music than you would make it seem.

  • The kind of song that makes me long for a beautiful day, a car, and a road going West. Great music is ageless...am a senior in college now, but used to listen to Jim Croce/John Denver on our way to the beach in High School. Great era of music.

  • i remember all of the great oldies when they were newies and music was real and not a conglomerate of loud notes and meaningless verse thats barely understood.

  • this is true music , this music kids listen to today shouldnt even be called music. jim croce is a true musician.... today all it takes to be a musician is beating the hell out of instruments and screaming like a wild banshee.

  • I was born in 72. I was too young to remeber him but never forgot him as i got older..May his music live on..

  • invincible

  • A great song, me faz lembrar a minha infancia e todos os momentos bons que passei.

  • Old tunes like these are like wine. they get better with age. And not forgotten.

  • If there are any other big Jim Croce fans out there, please let me know. I love his music and it has been a part of so many memories in the 70"s for me. I wish I could find another who shares my passion for his music. The kids of today will never know what really good, heartfelt, story telling music is. That's a shame.

  • @toomeysensei1 born in '95 and he's one of my all time favorites

  • Luigi was a singer?

  • Started playing guitar in 1970 as a young kid. That was probably the best time in history to pick up that instrument.

  • one of my favorite oldies music

  • \m/

    

  • Music will never be the same :(

  • That may be the smallest dislike bar for a Youtube video with this many views :)

  • I was born in 1960, I think was one of the best years to be born as far as music was concerned by the time i was driving in 1976 wow do you remember how much music / talent was hitting the air waves and the cars and hot rods and girls with featherd hair! WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @testtube3125 My dad was born in 1960

  • @testtube3125 Me too, born in 60. Great time to be a teenager in the mid 70's. But you know what, I love being 51.

  • Dose anyone know the Jim Croce song with the lyrics " mother nature keeps calling but no ones listing to her"

  • @seighart117 That should be Railroads and Riverboats.

  • He reminds me a lot of my dad... I don't know why. My dad doesn't play guitar or sing. Maybe it's just Jim looks a tad bit like my dad. Jim is such a talented artist. Unfortunately he passed away before I was even born. :/ RIP, Jim Croce.

  • @CorpseGrinder7734 he saw you coming...LOL

  • On September 20, 1973, the day that his ABC single, "I Got a Name", was released, Croce, Muehleisen, and four others were killed in the crash of a chartered Beechcraft E18S upon takeoff from the Natchitoches Regional Airport in Natchitoches, Louisiana.[6] Croce had just completed a concert at Northwestern State University's Prather Coliseum in Natchitoches and was flying to Sherman, Texas, for a concert at Austin College, when the plane crashed about an hour after the end of the concert.

  • Cant wait till JUSTIN BEBIER does a COVER of this next month!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just kiddin :D haha

  • @SuperMannInTheMiddle

    Haha. Bieber has a name now but none of the talent of Croce. Too many talentless wonders concocted by today's recording industry.

  • wow.. loved his music... missed his music.. can recall the days when his music was played on the radio.. real music.. not many song writer singers any more... man.... missed that

  • @PackerGreg LYKE OMG NO WEY!!!! LOL!

  • i wish i was born in the 50s, 60s, 70s, or even 80s when music wasnt about sex or durg or kids going around killing kids imean there is music from 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s that had that but atleast they here good songs

    

  • @donman98 Quick question. Are you retarded? because if you are I might feel bad for calling you a retard for posting this pathetic half-response.

  • @donman98 Like all music was like this. These kind of posts annoy me to no end.

  • @donman98 ain't nothing changed lol history tells no lies

  • @donman98 There is some upbeat and fun music today, and I still get a kick out of much of the 80's pop I grew up too, but I've always leaned most toward the style and talent of the 60's and 70's in particular.

  • @donman98 I grew up in the '50's and '60's and I firmly believe it was my great fortune to do so. There is nothing as good (to me) as the songs circa '50's through '80s. I wish young people of the more recent decades could appreciate the music of the time. About half the people I knew those days played guitar and we frequently played and sang together. Loved the "folk songs" too. Those really were the days.

  • Comment removed

  • @donman98, I was born in 1960. Lucky me!!!

  • @donman98 Meh...we have youtube.

  • @donman98 you just completely contradicted yourself lol

  • @donman98 "I wish I lived in the 70s or 80s when music wasn't about sex and drugs..."

    lol

  • @NuMetalBeDamned I think a better statement would be "I wish I lived in the 70's and 80's when music was actually music..."

  • @donman98 obviously you never heard classic blues and country music

    full of drugs and alcohol abusers, and people who murder their cheating wives. but just as you mentioned,at least the music was good.

  • Heard this song the first time in '74 when I was six, loved it ever since.

  • thank god my parents kept their old vinyl's

  • This brings tears to my eyes. He died too young. Life is full of 'what ifs' .... what if Jim hadn't boarded that plane that went down on Sept. 20 '73?

  • Jim will never be forgotten. The Last American Hero, Roll On

  • Thanks to kick ass parents, I like this song!

  • @69adrummer I got turned onto Jim Croce from my late grandparents, and now at 30 all these songs mean so much more.

  • pure love in his songs...simple and great

  • 0:48 Interstate Love Song?

  • @dfbhcf haha yeah they totally ripped that off

  • I heard this wen mort is organizing stuff in the pharmacy while peter steals steroids

  • A great talent we lost too soon!

  • love Jim!!!

  • Mort sings this in his pharmacy in Family Guy when Joe participated in the handicap olympics

  • Your Creator's got a name..and you said it ,without knowing you were using His name.

    HalleluYAH...praise Yah

    YadaYah(dot)com

  • Man Jim, you been gone for far too long brother! R.I.P. you LEGEND!!!

  • @fastguild2007 I agree. I wish he was still with us.

  • THE ultimate Jim. RIP

  • This song reminds me of my old man its so beauiful.

    R.I.P Mr. Croce

  • Did anyone else gear thus song on family guy???

  • This song reminds of my dad. I feel like he is here with me everytime i hear it. 7 years and i still feel him everytime i walk in his house. I love hearing this song. Very deep song for me.

  • Dig that bass!

  • @woolfsblood Amen !! Another great artist with some great bass back up was Harry Chapin. Both sad losses to Music.

  • Another great artist, lost too soon. We miss you Jim.

  • awsome song ... the old school songwriters didnt have to resort to swearing to write a top notch song

  • @sparkdog99 May peace be in your heart.

  • This guy is awesome. He voice is so appropriate to his music that is uncanny. Also, it brings back memories from the early seventies ya know love, peace and hairgrease (well in the bronx) anyway

  • @yappcd yeah man .....what happened to love peace and hairgrease?????

  • @PantsofVance Haha yeah, I had actually heard "Interstate Love Song" before I heard this song. When my mom found her old Jim Croce cassette tape and played it for me, I was shocked when I heard that riff! Both songs are amazing.

  • There is just something so celebratory about every day life in this song. Simple and genius, at the same time. I guess I'm sayin' I like it!

  • Wishin' him back.... Good soul peaceful being beautiful person...rejoice in the music

  • One person doesn't have a name

  • RIP jim!!!!

  • WONDERFUL, EXTRAORDINARY !!!!!!!

  • awwww there is an ending to this song? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYY?

  • Procurei tanto por esta música!. Obrigada por postar. Adoro!!!!!

  • If I were making a movie about my life in high school, this would be the closing song as I look at the empty classrooms but remember certain incidents that took place in those classrooms, and then I would sigh and then drive away as this song would play as the credits rolled.

  • @HOTTIUSMAXIMUS That is so cool....thanks for sharing that!

  • Comment removed

  • @BeautyTheRagDoll why must u make comparisons who cares jim croce pus james taylor and willie to sleep

  • @PackerGreg Yes. Yes I am.

  • There's something thought-provoking, inspiring and hopeful about this song that I can't quite put my finger on. An amazing piece of music.

  • i like '70 music

  • This came out when I was in middle school and I always loved it. I remember how sad I was (even at 12 years old) when Jim died and how it powerful it was to see his wife accepting an award for him at the Grammy's that year. Kids don't usually pay much attention to stuff outside their own little circle, but all that really stuck with me.

  • @Jeffredo729 i relate....

  • This song is great, the vocals, the words(which Jim didn't write) and as much a part of any of it, Maury, Maury, Maury, jamming as only he could! The only thing that could stop them, death! Wow it would have been unlimited success for both had not that day happened like it did! The music lives on!!!

  • pine trees linin' a winding road....where'd all that go?

  • jim croce and gordon lightfoot = my favorite cottage tunes

  • Great song from a great songsmith. Now to the Cars Bye Bye Love.

  • one of my alltime favorite albums

  • "They can change their minds but they can't change me." Such a beautiful lyric and so true.

  • Amazing song. One of my all-time favorites. (:

  • This song is dedicated to Rob Kerr........It was his favorite song and we all miss him

  • Croce was ahead of his time, nothing wrong with that, keep you sound off...just like your mind

  • Comment removed

  • Now I remember why I had the likes/dislikes disabled.

  • @PackerGreg why??

  • @PackerGreg why was that?

  • @MistuhCoolio why was what?

  • @PackerGreg why was it that you had the likes/dislikes disabled?

  • @MistuhCoolio Oh, because of the inane comments about those who click thumbs down. They can take it or leave it, the world doesn't need to know their opinions.

  • @PackerGreg oh yeah, i agree completely

  • The first person to give this video a dislike will die within one week.

  • @billcottles Can I have the 2nd?,,, IF there is.

  • jim croce is an icon from all musicians!

  • god bless thank you jim for the great music never forget this man

  • @castl001998 Well said. You could cover this song in a metal and/or a country version and it be a hit all over again, so well written, timeless.

  • This ones for you Wubby, happy birthday, I love you and miss you very much.

  • i think your right greg

  • 361 likes, 0 dislikes. The way it ought to be.

  • SO BEAUTIFUL!! R.I.P. JIM CROCE.

  • you can change your mind

    but you can't change me

    I go there proud

    finest song ever written

  • how can that shit Justin Bieber have more views than this.

  • @wingo0pandas

    When Croce was alive music wasn't a commodity, it was just entertainment and artists did it for the pure joy it gave them.. Then some very smart and greedy talentless people realised there was money to be made, shortly after the release of "Frampton Comes Alive". Since thenthe focushas been about anything but quality in music, it's been "cater to the lowest common denominator" which, especially in the US, has been terribly fucking low. Hail Justin, Katy, Brittany and others.

  • @2damnoldforUtube well put, brother

  • I love this song !!!!

  • What a voice....what a song...

  • Oh my God. If you can listen to this song and not get butterfly's, youre not human, what a musician. No autotune, just talent and heart. Im 18 and it pains me that kids i work with that are my age havent even heard of Jim Croce. They've been brought up on fake music. This is the real stuff.

  • @saintnathaniel so true!

  • Thanks to Mort Goldman on Family Guy I like this song

  • @rl1712 exactly i just youtube searched movin me down the highway

  • @rl1712 yeah do you remember the episode when peter stole something while he was singing it was hilarious

  • @TreySmith781 yep it was called "Ready, Willing and Disabled" where Joe joins the special peoples games and Peter steals steroids from Morts store, it was on TV the other day.

  • @rl1712 thanks dude i really appreciate it! :D

  • ONE OF THE GREATEST FOLK SINGERS I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!

    Rest Peacefully

    JIM CROCE (1943~1973)

  • I love this song! it reminds me of West Virginia.

  • One amazing song. Reminds me of the movie invincible.

  • @Atlfalconfan444 yeah! great movie...

  • bad ass song

  • I heard this on Family Guy, and thank goodness I did, this is a great song!

  • This is my theme song .

  • one of the greatest songs...doesn't get any better

  • grrreat song, in my opinion :)

  • This song of Jim's was part of the soundtrack in the movie "Last American Hero" many years ago. Wish you could have been here longer Jim,you were on a terrific role!

  • Hmm... Wonder if I can double favorite this song...Yup.

  • This song is so underrated.. a total masterpiece.

  • this song makes me think of my dad (pal)

  • this was my daddy favorite song. We played it at his funeral last week. May you go there free, dad! love you

  • @sparkdog99 time in a bottle was at my dads :(

  • @sparkdog99 Thank you!! My feelings are the same about my father and I am proud to have my dad's name!!

  • @sparkdog99 Oh, wow...now I'm crying over here. :-)

  • @sparkdog99 God bless you.....

  • @sparkdog99 I'm sorry for your loss of your Dad. He now listens to Jim Croce in Heaven.

  • They had this song with the movie on Youtube...but the copyright pricks took it off.....when all it was, was free advertisemtn.

  • If you really want to love this song for it's worth, rent or buy "The Last American Hero" with Jeff Bridges. This was one of the few songs Jim didn't write, it was for this movie. Ingrid tells a story of how hard it was for Jim to do this song without his guitar.......it's awesome.

  • To Delo/Robert, and I'm gonna go there free...

  • i just love the fact that this video has no dislikes *likes*

  • #5 on my All-Time greatest list! Thanks for posting, a classic . . . I listen to it everyday :)

  • actually, I think 1873 was supposed to come out to be 1978. In 73 and even later ,Jim was still having hits on the radio. As I recall, Jim Crocce and Sam Kinnison Died in "roughly the same place" and in the same way, They were both killed in Head on collisions on the Brooklyn bridge, so Youse guys whose ah new yorkahs theah, youse be careful crossin that Brooklyn Bridge Hanh, It's A Killah!

  • @bigfootskitty croce died in a plane crash. there was a tree at the end of the runway and his plane hit it on takeoff, killing everyone on board. R.I.P. jim. in the words of another musician, billy joel, "only the good die young."

  • Comment removed

  • @SinclairDelux I agree 100%, When this came out in 1973, It made 12th grade high school all the more enjoyable, my all-time jim croce song.

  • This songs touches my heart and inspires me to be the best I can, and that I can do whatever it is that I put my mind to do.

    Thanks Jim.

  • 1873???  Don't you mean 1973?

  • @LAngelinaDiMauro should have been john chapman aka johnny appleseed

  • This song is just SO full of awesome that it's bordering on indescribable.

  • sounded to me like (livin a dream...that he [daddy] can't give...)
