Another old Jewish folk artist, that we were blessed with his parents came here from Germany... He passed in airplane crash, but his music lives on and to see the reactions 40+ years later is beautiful.... thank you for the awesome review!!

[@freckled100]

Not just a singer, but a song writer and poet. He left us way too soon!

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

How many times have you ever been driving down the highway, perhaps a little over the speed limit, singing at the top of your lungs while this song is playing "rolling me down the highway, rolling me down the highway, moving ahead so life won't pass me by".

[@ronniepatton7730]

You guys stay true to yourselves your reactions are deep felt detailed and on point a veritable breath of fresh air no cookie cutter responses just to please the status quo you hear what you hear and it a spur of the moment point blank opinion these songs are from my time I grew up with these songs all 63 yrs. of my life and it is good to hear your responses with virgin ears keep doing it the way your heart tells you to and to heck with the naysayers you can't please everyone.

[@salemnian]

Thanks for the thoughtful reaction. On September 20, 1973, the day before "I Got a Name" was released, Jim Croce (pronounced CROW-chee) and five others were killed when their chartered aircraft crashed into a tree during takeoff in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Croce was 30 years old.

[@michaellombard894]

Thank you Jeffrey for informing us of this.

[@rollotomassi6232]

I was 12 at the time of the plane crash that took the lives of such talented people. My two older brothers were going to college where Jim Croce performed that night and they both attended. The next day they said it campus was in shock with many people gathering at the crash site in tears paying they’re last respects.

[@nathansnider1438]

I am a huge fan of Jim Croce. Great reaction!!!

[@mikewitcombe6507]

Last American Hero! 🇺🇸👍💪🇺🇸

[@Alan-lv9rw]

One of my favorite songs. Music was best from about 1964 to 1975, when disco began.

[@thefunkybuddha69]

Don't ever change.

[@Free-flyBE]

Man...I miss the acoustic singer/songwriters of yesteryear:( Like your genre title Kirti - 'Gentlemen Songs' ;)

[@vincentscimeca3033]

Like Karen Carpenter a huge loss to music. So young and talented to die so tragically. One of my all time favorite songs. SO glad you guys did this one!

[@BearClanMan1970]

I believe part of the inspiration for this song was that Jim Croce's family immigrated from Italy in a time when there was much resentment for Italian immigrants in America. This was Jim's declaration to not hide his Italian name and heritage to keep small people comfortable and avoid persecution.

[@jgfina]

Speaking from experience, my family DID change their name to try to avoid resentment and prejudice in the US. I admire Jim's message and the two young people here who make me smile discovering music I grew up with.

[@herecomesaregular8418]

@@jgfina This was an all too common story for many immigrant families, and still happens today. In my own family's genealogy, I found multiple instances of purposeful respellings, or just outright full on name change, all for the sake of staying out of ridicule's way. They ranged in nationalities from Scandinavian, Scots-Irish, and Italian. All at different times in our nation's past when various groups were being persecuted. And of course, that mindset still persists with far too many Americans.

[@spurs19571]

Goosbumps

[@tobinhays652]

Makes me cry every time I heaar it.

[@TripletDad3]

I often wonder how much more great music Croce had to give us if he hadn't been taken so young. It was only after his death that his music became popular.

[@dwissba68]

Same with Nick Drake

[@Darryl_Frost]

Jim Croce does some great, nice, thoughtful songs, just do them all :) thanks....

[@rileystewart9165]

Operator and Box #10 are two of my favorites by him. You guys really react to some good stuff!

[@Saturday288]

Long live Cafe Enoma. Wonderful people that react to great songs. ❤️

[@davidpost428]

Been a long time since I've heard this song. Jim Croce wrote songs that were about his being Real. Savio picked this up loud and clear. To be blessed by Saint John Paul the Second and by Saint Theresa of Calcutta - How wonderful, Savio ! The whole idea of "moving down the highway" was very popular for the sixties generation because we felt that we were out there exploring as a generation. I'm happy that you take your responding to musical suggestions so fully and that when we watch we know that you both will be honest - you both share so much with us. Thank you. oh, and if Anyone is Rude to either of you, I would take it for that individual's ignorance. I would not let it touch me and I would block them or eliminate them from saying anything on this site, which is purely there to experience and share the joy of music.

[@j.fanning8158]

Thanks for your sincere positive reaction to this great song from the 70's. Wow ! You are so fortunate to have met Saint Mother Theresa and Saint Pope John Paul II . God bless you for mentioning this and for your words of wisdom. So nice to have people like the both of you on KZbin.

[@massF1]

I love your reactions to all the music I love and grew up with. I remember the day Jim's plane crashed, it was so sad, I played his records every morning before school. and put the newspaper clipping about his passing on my bedroom wall. I was in elementary school at the time.

[@kevinpolito1529]

Love to Savio and Kirti for opening yourselves to the world, sharing exactly who you are through your reactions to music, sharing a joyful human experience. The best moments in life occur when we are with friends and together with them experience good music, good food, good literature or art. You have found a way to share that kind of intimate experience with tens of thousands of people. Thank you!

[@jg4840]

Jim Croce, from South Philadelphia!

[@mcflytangent9909]

Jim Croce is a legend

[@michaellombard894]

Thank you two for your great intelligent insights! You always provide such well articulated analyses!

[@davidvaughn9441]

Love you guys. Watch everything yu do. You guys get it.

[@Mr54nomore]

Jim Croce was one of the greatest singer/songwriters of his day...please listen to one of his greatest song he ever penned! "Operator." The world lost one of the greatest artist too soon...Rest In Peace Jim...We miss you so.

[@BrickHive]

Great song! I love your reaction! 🙂 Excellent channel!

[@everykneeshallbow]

Biblically, and humbily, I'm a saint. And I bless you !! You're pure hearted folks. Bless you and your entire family, in Jesus' mighty name.

[@kenmanor5476]

I absolutely love you guys...

[@MakeTheTurn]

Loved seeing the joy on your faces. I feel the same every time I hear it! :)

[@algonquinjcalhoun7831]

A great, great singer and songwriter. Jim and Maury could take the stage with just their guitars and you were in for a great concert.

[@brandyraciborski-rieffer8451]

No one else has done this song, I’ve been looking for awhile. Thank you!

[@zq9m3xh8]

Short, sweet and very moving. In my opinion, this is his second greatest song, behind TIME IN A BOTTLE, which to me stands out as not only his greatest song, but undoubtedly one of the GREATEST songs ever recorded, of any artist, decade or genre. Time In a Bottle is one you should check out.

[@michaelemery8909]

Wow!! Just subscribed because it's so nice to see your reaction to a great songwriter/ musician who we lost way to soon

[@lane6407]

Enjoyed seeing your reaction when you were realizing the beauty of this message. I felt the same way in 1974. That is the same year i started to play the guitar because of Jim. It has been a great blessing to me in the 45 years since then

[@EliasMk81]

Jim Croce was my parents favorite, and as such is special to me, I grew up listening to all his music and I never get tired of him.

[@davidhunter801]

In the midwest, we pronouce it CROW-chee

[@Gam3Junkie]

Great reaction, thanks for sharing!

[@davidhoneycutt220]

I agree I you can't be you than who are you! Keep up the great reactions! Gods our shield!

[@dennispfeiffer7443]

"a broad smile of unfeigned delight" ENOMA

[@StevenMichals0812]

Another way you can discover music is on Spotify. You can hear full albums by many different artists, for free. It's a great way to hear music and I use it a lot, as well as KZbin.

[@ashikulalam3767]

React To Other Songs Of Jim Croce Please. 🙏🙏. Love Your Reactions.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

Wow, that is so wonderful that you have been blessed by Pope John Paul II and by Mother Teresa! Learning to let bad words and vibes from others bounce off you is not always easy, but it's a good thing to strive for. ... Looks like you have already reacted to Jim Croce's beautiful ballad "Time in a Bottle," too. He was such a talented singer and songwriter and he really touches the heart. If you're interested in another bittersweet Jim Croce ballad, I recommend "Operator."

[@colibri1]

The reason this song is so pure and all the other things you say is because it was released in the early seventies, and songs from the sixties and seventies, as one of you says in another video, have that pure quality that is lacking in music from later eras.

[@jamesnfranklyn2413]

GO WITH GOD AND LIVE YOUR LIFE....THANK YOU FOR HEARING OUR MUSIC....YOUR REACTIONS COME FROM THE HEART THE SAME WAY WE DID 45 YRS AGO....THEY'LL BE HATERS....PRAY FOR THEM....MAYBE THEY'LL SPEND THEIR TIME DOING SOMETHING ELSE....REST ASSURED THEY ARE WASTING THEIR DAY HATING INSTEAD OF LIVING THEIR LIVES....50 YRS FROM NOW.....NO ONE WILL CARE....I LOVE A SONG WITH A MESSAGE....THERE ARE MANY....LIVE....LOVE ....LAUGH........NAMESTE

[@somethingyousaid5059]

A good lyric is a good lyric is a good lyric.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

I Got A Name. When *you know WHO you are*, or better yet, when you know Who's you are, you really cannot be intimidated or insulted with any real effect. God has a Name too, and he wants us to carry it with us, 'like my Daddy' does. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" Jim Croce (Cro-chee) was one significant song writer, one of the best singer/song writers in a era full of them.

[@tylerbloomington7695]

You two seem wonderful.

[@ArchFundy]

I can't listen to a Croce song without the tears flowing. Such a loss. His songs also remind me of my lost and ill spent young adulthood that had so much potential, but I squandered. Enjoy your youthful days, but be goal oriented. You have surprisingly little time to make it happen. Today becomes a distant yesterday before you know what happened. Great reaction vid. Tks for the memories.

[@rileystewart9165]

Racists can go somewhere else. You've got a lot of fans. We love your channel.

[@quantumdirect]

An American treasure gone too soon. As others have suggested, 'Operator' is as beautiful a song as it is heart-wrenching.

[@denisedinwiddie9543]

Love this man's message. He was very inspiring during his time on earth. Campfire King!

[@love-vy1ry]

Peace & Love, to you both.

[@arthurm.tellez275]

I ask my self why do we the loss such song writers and singers. So the best we can do is to join in there love and joy in there music. Jim, Harry, Buddy and so many more

[@TheGreatGig73]

The contribution Jim would have had if he had still been around would have been amazing.

[@ewoe21]

Great song!

[@pamelatheriot1]

Crow-shee

[@billy9497able]

Lol i it took me til almost the end of the video to realize the honking horns were coming from your video. I've looked out my window several times looking for my girl friend's car waiting on groceries lol

[@heft1983]

A song of his with a great message that you should react to is "Which Way Are You Going"

[@JaySmith-vb7qt]

❤️❤️❤️

[@raymondritenour6033]

Love your reaction to such a beautiful song, god bless you and your family. If you get a chance please react to John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, Garden of Eden, Just a Matter of Time

[@judywalker1505]

Gone too soon...like many of them.

[@ramosnato]

Ha ha ha Bro you got it right the way you pronounced his name and the lady is wrong.

[@harrissizzle]

Does this guy remind anyone else of Guillermo Del Toro?
