I 100% Agree!!!! No other artist can do that like Jim and Maury !!!!! I love every song by them, Jim wrote about his experiences. And sang from his heart!!! It upsets me they didn’t give him an award until after he passed,his wife accepted it!!! I’ve been listening to them for 52 yrs and never ever get tired of them. Love every song but some of my favorites are ,Time in a bottle (which was sung when I walked down the isle in 1978), age,speedball tucker,operator, working at the car wash blues, photographs and memories, You don’t mess around with Jim…….. I could keep going but I would be here all day!!!!

My father took my sister and I to one of the summer folk festivals outside of Philly and I was so lucky to have met Jim Croce there. And be in the audience. Somehow I found him standing outside one of the tents and did my absolute best to flirt my 10 year old ass off. He was so charismatic and you would think - because of obviously non-vogue model features - you would think he would have come off as ugly. His sparkling eyes, his deep voice, his musical magic - I was so in love. His plane crashed within a few months of that summer festival. Still in love.

The commentary between the songs make this. The songs are wonderful, which is what brought me to listen. But the moments where Jim is talking make me think he could have been a musician or a comedian, or a trucker (he seemed to like that profession) or ran for public office. He's so down to earth and real, I wonder what his opinion on the current state of things in America would be. We need guys like Jim in America now. It's a shame he was taken too early.

I saw Jim play a few times, and his stories were always as welcome as his songs. One I remember is that he said he'd played a lot of bars, and things often got out of hand when the drunks started fighting. That's how he learned to never wear his guitar strap - at a moment's notice you had to be able to grab your guitar in one hand and use your other hand to jump over the bar when the bottles started flying. There really hasn't been anyone like him before or since.

I think "Next Time This Time" is my favourite of all Jim's brilliant songs.

I was only six when the guy who sang Leroy Brown died. Heard it on the radio with my folks. I was very sad.

How lucky to be in that audience! Of course it would ruin any other music experience after that. Love how personal Jim was. To be that real!

My Brother and I played his 8 track to death that summer. When I hear Jim I'm 14 and I got it all in front of me. I have heard Operator thousands of times and as soon as he started it my ears perked right up. I agree Jim was special. I hope to see him in paradise.

So sad that AJ had to grow up without a father. I remember watching midnight special and heard that Jim Croce died in a plane crash. I was so sad. I really liked his music. RIP James Croce. Ciao

Unbelievable! Just found something similar from an Irish show. Treasures. Thank you.

I was lucky to see the the original show on Irish TV July 24 1973. The memory remains so strong
