He had been badly screwed by the recording labels and was done after the last promise he kept to the people he played for. He was killed leavin' for home to keep his promises to Ingrid! In their career, Jim and Maury made a lot of tracks in the music world. Great Inspirations to countless other musicians, myself included! Thank you Jim and Maury, miss you both, Kev

Jim Croce was one of the best songwriters of the last 75 years. As others have said his lyrics were genius. His delivery was emotion-filled. His voice was smooth and of an unmatched quality. His death was so untimely. Had he lived he would have written so much more. I mourn his loss, even though it's been more than half a century.

As we Jim Croce fans know, he died in a plane crash. My mom worked with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in Flight Standards. One of her duties was to type up accident reports. If fell on her to type up his crash report. Due to professional ethics, she was not permitted to cry about the incident, even though she was a huge fan of his! When she came home, she was crying her eyes out. Now I understand why! Jim was a truly remarkable musician! I was 6 years old at the time of his death.

Jim lives on through his marvelous music, with serious songs as this one. His "Photographs & Memories: His Greatest Hits" album is a must-have for any serious music lover. Every one of them tells a story, some light and fun, some deeper and inspirational-thoughtful as this one, "I Got A Name" and my personal favorite, "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" (#9, Mar. 1974). No other singer-songwriter had so many great songs in such a short time (1972-74) as Jim Croce. He will not be forgotten, no matter how many years go by since we lost him in 1973, with another sad anniversary (48 years on Sep. 20, in 19 more days), at only 30.

He was going to retire from public life after the tour ended, and become a scriptwriter for tv and movies. I imagine him writing outstanding and hilarious comedy series episodes, or deeply-serious and thoughtful drama shows that highlighted a specific type of human feeling from an event. We'll never know how much brighter he would have added to Hollywood's too-frequently dull or unmemorable episodes, whether in comedy or drama. More the pity from Sep. 20, 1973. R.I.P., Jim. You were like a rare comet that shines brilliantly and lights-up the sky for only a few months, then fades away, never to be seen again. But never forgotten!

I'm getting in to learning the bass and I've always heard of Jim Croce from my parents and I've heard the big hits, but this is the first time I've looked further into his music. He was a true poet with a great voice. And his band was incredible as well. Obviously the finger picking acoustic guitar in all his music seems to always be fresh and complex, even the less noticeable aspects are just perfect. This song starts with an acoustic bass and then jumps over to an electric, why? Because that's how he wanted it. That attention to minor details is why Jim Croce and the people who helped him create this art will forever remain through the songs they made.

I was a freshman in college, my first month at the school and I was going to the campus record store just about every day to get my personal collection up to the size everyone else in the dorm seemed to have. I heard the news about Jim on the radio one morning and after my first class stopped in at the record store and bought a couple of his albums -- I remember how stunned the store's clerk was when I told her the news. I'd been a fan of his hits ever since "One Less Set of Footsteps," but songs like this one, "Alabama Rain," and "A Long Time Ago" really bring out the depth of Jim's songwriting talent. And yeah, I'm still listening today.

Jim played the rhythm track very well. He was a songwriter who could accompany himself nicely. But the gorgeous lead guitar was provided by Maury Muehliesen. He was lost in the plane crash that killed Jim. Tradgedy.

“The noble heart will find no shortage of places to offer itself in martyrdom, but you cannot die on every battlefield.” ~ Duncan Sinclair, from The Outcast Highlander” . "Lover's Cross" I guess that it was bound to happen Was just a matter of time Now I've come to my decision And its a-one of the painful kind 'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr Just a regular guy wouldn't do But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you You really gotta hand it to ya 'Cause girl you really tried But for ev'ry time that we spent laughin' There were two times that I cried And you were tryin' to make me your martyr And that's the one thing I just couldn't do 'Cause baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you 'Cause tables are meant for turnin' And people are bound to change And bridges are meant for burnin' When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same Still I hope that you can find another Who can take what I could not He'll have to be a super guy Or maybe a super god 'Cause I never was much of a martyr before And I ain't 'bout to start nothin' new And baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you 'Cause tables are meant for turnin' And people are bound to change And bridges are meant for burnin' When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same But I hope that you can find another Who can take what I could not He'll have to be a super guy Or maybe a super god 'Cause I never was much of a martyr before And I ain't 'bout to start nothin' new And baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you Writer: Croce James “I'd rather love a million times and have my heart broken every time, than hold a permanently empty heart forever.” H.C.

+Nova200....Join your local church. You don't have to be overly religious to go. Lots of good people go there and you would be surprised how many are single! I'm married 48 years and my wife and i met there....Neither of of were "bar type" of people. Not all people who go there are up to no good but many are. Besides, personally when i shop for meat i prefer Shop-Rite...lol.....I never once cheated on my wife. She's been good to me and i try to honor her loyalty in kind. Like Paul Newman once said: "Why go out for hamburger when i have steak at home".......Good luck to you

I grew up listening to his music. It makes me feel so nostalgic to hear his voice. reminds me of when I used to visit my dad for the summer. Jim and the Eagles were always playing in the house.

Everytime i heard his song , it always make me want to grab my guitar , then a pencil and paper to write a song of myself. He is a brilliant Singer-Songwriter thats is so real, not fake stars (lots of them today) who sings with auto-tune for their vocal to sounds better.
