[@RobertSilvestri86]

I lay in bed that fateful night in September '73 when the radio stopped the music to announce the news. To this day, I still have eight of his albums. I will pass them down to my grandchildren and tell them of Jim, Maury, and Ingrid and the sensational songs created. May Jim RIP. I'm 76 now and still listen to the music that was part of my young adult life. May that music live from generation to generation. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎼🎶

[@douglashall2141]

You're so right sir and you have some of the best collectibles that there ever was my one of the best performers, singer-songwriters in the world as far as I'm concerned. I hope you also have time in a bottle. Which was the theme song at our 1975 junior senior prom. It was in memory to Jim Croce and it's wonderful talents and that special song it meant a lot to our high school students. And me personally. I am now 65 years old. And I've always been a music lover of course listening to the lyrics most of all. And my memory Jim Croce music will live on forever.

[@clinton1960]

I'm 33 and jam Croce front to back all the songs. Legendary...not a song I have heard that I didn't like! It is still apart of current young adult lfe.

Yes, the older we get the more we appreciate Jim's playing and singing with those wonderful lyrics. As newer generations discover his music they will ensure his songs will lives on.

[@4tun1]

One thing I love about him is his face. That's a face full of character. And he packed a lot of life into only thirty years. Imagine writing all those great songs in his twenties. I say this with love: he looked at least fifteen years older than he was. But I look at that face and know I'm gonna get a song with a great story behind it.

[@Modernaire]

I agree, well said. I've been delving into his songs, work, performances from I Got A Name touching me recently on a profound level and ... I get mesmerized at his face, his expressions, I really focus on what he's singing, or saying, as if a friend is talking with you one on one, discussing life's challenges, experiences, so on. Nice that you focused on this also.

Bravo a Jim avrebbe fatto piacere saperlo

[@fbfields984]

I was in my sophomore year of high school when Jim died. I began dating a girl who was in my class that same year. We spent the next 2 years of high school driving around and singing to the tunes of Jim. The joy we had driving down the road singing along with him on the couple of 8 track tapes of his, that I had, while holding hands as she sat right next to me in the front seat of my ‘66 Ford fairlane were no small reason for us eventually growing up and getting married. In January 2024, we celebrate 45 years of marriage. There is no doubt in my mind that the music that Jim created during his all too brief time on earth has been a catalyst to the love that me and my wife continue to share. Even now, I find myself revisiting his songs on KZbin just to listen and reflect on what an impact those sweet, sweet days have meant to me. Thanks, Jim.

[@bennettoctober6965]

Wonderful story sir, you found happiness and kept at it...not many myself included have been that lucky. All the best

His music makes me tear up. Not overly played or produced. Even the studio albums sound just like a man and his guitar. I just absolutely love Jim’s music, style, voice, storytelling. Exquisite musician.

[@christinetarquin3773]

Its's the SOUND of Jim Croce's guitar. It's the gentleness of his voice, his SINCERE meaning of the words, the harmonies, the 70's scene, & memories of this time in our lives. I listen with intent, he is a storyteller & that is what makes me listen. 🎸

I found out who Jim was by watching a favourite movie of mine. I was 12 at the time. Now im 18 and just finished high school. Hes been there for me when i felt so alone and now hes here for the best part of my life yet. I know nearly all his songs by heart and hes a huge inspiration behind my guitar playing. Thank you, Jim.

How else can you explain as a young child knowing all of the lyrics to all of his songs, Operator, Time in a bottle, etc. And even as a young kid I could recognize the heartbreak in his poetic lyrics.

I just recently moved out of a halfway house in Anaheim, CA into a tent in Idaho. I've never felt so at peace in my life. I'm convinced the stress of living in California was giving me hypertension. I'd have spells of pain in my chest and neck with no cure but sleep. I've been living and working here in Idaho for the last month and I haven't had a single time where I felt away from home. I'm finally happy with my progress in life. I can finally lay down and relax, not worrying about the next day. I just heard this song for the first time and I'm sure you can understand how I relate to this.

[@lschultz7804]

I have struggled with addiction on and off for almost 20 years. The first time I heard this song I could immediately relate. My figurative New York is my ongoing battle with substance abuse. Jim had such a unique ability to capture emotions in a clear, honest, and concise way that made his music so easy to relate to. Whatever your “New York” is, just remember it’s not your home. We all struggle with something but if you’re reading this, I hope you know that your issues are not your identity. Never give up, humble yourself, ask for help, ask God to reveal himself to you and forgive you. Things can, and will get better. God bless and rest in peace Jim. Your music has helped me through some tough times.

[@whitneywilliams317]

One of his best songs. Not only personal experience but that of many of us that find ourselves in foreign territory. The longing for home is palatable. Yet identifying new experiences to achieve is also paramount.

My dad absolutely loved Jim Croce...I had a mom and a dad that loved music...my dad just a little more than my dad. He use to come home with records of new artists that he really liked. He loved Bob Dylan (probably his favorite). He knew Elton John, Rod Stewart and a few others were going to have big careers.
