James Joseph "Jim" Croce (January 10, 1943 - September 20, 1973) was an American folk and rock singer of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Between 1966 and 1973, Croce released five studio albums and singles. His songs "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" and "Time in a Bottle" reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Now that I'm in my early 50s, having cultivated musical tastes that have gotten very eclectic through my teens, 20s, 30s, and 40s (name the genre, and I'm very likely to have at least a few favorite artists and bands in it -- save for modern Country, Hip-Hop*, and mainstream Pop), I find myself coming back to acoustic '70s Folk music that I used to diss in my adolescence for being too quiet, soft and boring. But, now that I'm older and more mature (I hope), I can identify with the themes in the lyrics of many of these songs that I once hated, because I've lived a life with experiences similar to those themes of which I was totally ignorant of when I was much younger. There's also the sentimental/nostalgia factor in that these songs bring me back to the innocence of childhood when such songs would be playing on my mom's car radio when I'd be riding with her on grocery or other shopping errands, or runs to and from the post office, or rides to and from school -- same for the transistor radio in the kitchen when she'd be making breakfast, lunch or dinner. Because of that, hearing these kinds of songs now get me emotional in ways that they hadn't before (*I'm talking about contemporary mumble/trap-rap)

[@EnriqueSanchez-su5zd]

That would of been a very sweet experience

[@ScottPrieb-wz2ws]

I first heard Jim in the Early 70s that whole time nothing but a string of unrequited loves Jim. Help get me through if you were here It would be my greatest wish to shake his hand and thank him.

[@stevosd60]

His work is instinctively spot on with how we all feel and romanticise about life. Still spot on and always will be.... A truly gifted artist ♥️

A damn great song when you feel depressed, despondent, sad, regretful, or lonely. RIP; Jim Croce. Great singer!

[@tenderpawsm473]

He had a way of writing poignant love songs, but this is a song about a lost love. It makes me a little sad when I hear it.

[@freeguy77]

That soaring middle bridge (2:06-2:30) is absolutely gorgeous! Jim wrote some of the best ballads (and fun songs too) ever done in folk music, in only 2 very short years that he was given! "While on his tours, Croce grew increasingly homesick, and decided to take a break from music and settle with his wife and infant son when his Life and Times tour ended. In a letter to his wife which arrived after his death, Croce told her he had decided quit music and stick to writing short stories and movie scripts as a career, and withdraw from public life." --Wikipedia entry on Jim Croce

[@apocalypseplough8089]

That's because his record company made him pay back what it cost to make his albums. The money he got from performing was going to the record company. It left him disillusioned by the music industry. I've been listening to his greatest hits album in my car for weeks. The music critics were not kind to him, but that is changing with time. He will go down in history as a great singer/songwriter.

[@freeguy77]

"These dreams; they keep me goin' these days..." I'll bet that is a motto for many now in 2021!

[@bunbynoysmiddleschoolaltacc]

I'm 21. I grew up listening to Jim Croce. I had hoped that I would never know these lessons, these feelings. I lost love to circumstance. I lost love to ego. I lost love to my self..

[@ShockL0ver]

I wish America could know the peace of mind people used to have. I wish people could genuinely love each other like they used to. That is what always comes to mind whenever I hear his music.

I think of him more as a great songwriter. Tis a shame he only had 30 years. His music transcends generations. This is fun surfing around and listening to great artists from the past.

[@paoloscottodivettimo6284]

Man this song is awesome

[@KhalDrogo76]

After my first real love burned out like a house fire after 3 years of being inseparable and being only around 19 yrs old this song used to bring me to my knees with it’s honesty and how much I could relate...still brings back a lot of memories many years later. Jim was a true songsmith and died WAY too early what a tragic loss he was the greatest

[@saucynig779]

relate to this comment so much, 2 year relationship, first real love. i remember driving around and this song came on the CD in my jeep, i used to drive for hours listening to that CD, especially this song and thinking about her. years have gone by now, doing much better but just a old memory that you unlocked with your comment.

The early 70's era just might have been the Pinnacle of the singer/songwriter. Man I wish I had lived through that time. The past 20 years of popular music leaves sooooomuch to be desired. If you want to check out a talented singer/songwriter look into Angie Aparo. You might be pleasantly surprised.

He was one of the all-time greats! Unknown how he passed away. R.I.P Jim Croce.

[@64chromedome]

He was killed on September 20, 1973 when his plane crashed near Natchitoches, Louisiana...about 107 miles southeast of Shreveport.

[@lesterchurchill9898]

The crazy thing about that plane crash was that the pilot was running late, so he jumped out of his car in traffic and ran about 3 miles (if my information is correct) to get to the plane. Problem is, he had a heart condition and died immediately on takeoff. The plane started descending and struck the only tree beyond the runway. That was the day the music died, to be sure. What a tragic loss.

[@brianeastman3547]

Lester Churchill , Same thing happened to the Big Bopper &Ritchie Valen Buddy Holly.

[@freeguy77]

@@lesterchurchill9898 His time in the public eye was shockingly similar to Buddy Holly's, and Jim's passing will be 48 years (in 2 days) this upcoming Monday, Sep. 20! Both had only 2+ years: Jim 1972-74 for his music to be played, and Buddy 1957-59. Jim for folk songs and Buddy for rock. Both superb songwriters that left an incredible legacy and inspiration for others. There was never or will be another Buddy, and there never was or will be another Jim!

[@billandino1854]

My first Medevac unit I was assigned to was the 237th Air Ambulance Detachment in Ft, Ord,CA. Our detachment Sergeant was the medic who responded to the crash that took the life of Jim Croce. He didn't say much except that the plane was overloaded and couldn't get off the ground.

[@GregorLinch]

Great musician and a poet. Full of charm and had a sense of realism about him. I mean he knew the world he lived in and wrote beautiful song about his experience in his life. The first time I watched him when I lived in Dublin on TV in 1975 I think. He commented on the lovely Guinness and how he needed to cut down on it as he couldn't fit his guitar plectrums in his waistband. Such a pleasure and very exciting to watch as a 15 year old. Been a life long admirer and fan ever since
