OMG! Jim Croce - Bad Bad Leroy Brown REACTION

[@mikecaetano]

Heh, this was one of my favorite songs when I was a school kid back in '73. Still sounds good 47 years later!

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

Right? I was in elementary school back in the 70's. My favorites were Jim Croce and Stevie Wonder.

[@gossamer1013]

Aww man, memories. He died on my b'day, but Mom waited to tell me because I loved his music. Wow I'm old.

[@tonyh4638]

@@gossamer1013 Not to worry.....you got LOTS of company.

[@itsallgood4093]

Everyone loved this song!

[@johnsmithie821]

try 1964

[@briangressett902]

You could see the look of recognition on Ms India's face when she realized she knew the song from her past. 🥰

[@crowredeye8066]

Ikr? Tickles me to no end.😂😂😂♥️

[@mao2233]

Just lovely!

[@Thomas116-m2n]

It's what's so wonderful about listening to old music. Her face said it all.

[@ym61]

Jim Croce was so great. So sad his life was tragically cut short. Gotta do Operator, India and Lover’s Cross

[@zorro149]

Jerry Reed did a tribute album to Jim Croce. We lost a great songwriter.

[@wayneweiveris4277]

He was a terrific poet..So many great tines come to mind. Photographs and Memories, New York’s not my Home, Time in a Bottle.

[@corvus1374]

And WOLD.

[@peterkelley4346]

I play "Lovers Cross", "I'll have to say i love you in a song", "Roller derby Queen", "Time in a Bottle", "Working at the carwash blues", "Rapid Roy", "Don't Mess Around with Jim", "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" on the guitar. He died way to soon. :)

[@ORagnar]

Died too young. What a great singer and song writer. Imagine what he could have written if he were still around.

[@chestuk68]

My mom passed in spring '75, i was 6. This song was a hit, always heard it on the radio in the car before she died; everytime I hear it, my heart bursts outta my chest with love and joy. God bless Mr. Croce, RIP. By the way I'm addicted to your reactions!!

[@dmpo5450]

He never disappointed. My favorites are I Got A Name and Operator. We lost him way too soon. Nice reaction.

[@MrRedjack12]

A great story teller with a guitar. a smooth voice with a calming effect.

[@byron916mauck]

I luv it when u recognize the song...haa

[@Icurious14u]

I grew up with that song still rocks me....Thats my type of music....Simple....good upbeat temp....Good story.....Easy to sing along too and understand.....Thats Music.

[@mackdeen7021]

Of course your grandpa jammed Jim C. Your grandpa knows what’s up and was young in the right time. Love you videos babe!

[@TwistedSither]

Jim Croce was one of my first favorite singers. Every song has a true story behind it. Leroy Brown was based on a guy in the army who thought he was bad news, and we'll, you see how that all worked out.

[@stevetemple8826]

I got a name is a good Jim Croce song I used to hear on the radio back in the '70s.

[@nine-dogs]

Just finished your "Time in a Bottle" react and thought, "I hope she does Leroy Brown"... and whattayaknow!?!?

[@williamfors7692]

A truly gifted artist from years past. It's a shame he was only 30 years old when we lost this talent in a plane crash over 40 years go. He will be remembered by his music that will remain with us forever.

[@RaincloudmusicTFS6]

As a piano player, the tuning of the piano in this is 'out' just enough to give it that honky tonk vibe!

[@bobglover949]

He is a brilliant storyteller and understands the human condition. Keep going and pick any song you find they are all great. Have a tissue close, Jim is gonna make you cry.

[@BogeyDopeYT]

Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle, with a couple of pieces gone. 🤣 Leroy got f’d up.

[@tgwife1964]

Pretty much.

[@backtoweedin4375]

One of the most descriptive lines of all time in rock music!

Adorable reactions. Great song.

[@michaelreardon7667]

Music always takes me back too , especially good music!

[@TheStefan6969]

Such a legend, and legendary song!! ❤️😊

[@827dusty]

This was a song from my teenage years in the early 1970s. One of Jim Croce's Best.

[@jacobblunt2061]

70’s lol my dad showed this to me in the early 2000’s this song is timeless

[@johnmignosi2892]

Lesson 1 - You may be tough but there is always somebody tougher. Lesson 2 - Don't mess with another mans lady! Love your reaction to this classic!

[@audreyricci6383]

Or else you will end up looking like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone!🗡️😈👿👹👺💀☠️

[@spiritoftruthcoaching1720]

Watching younger folk jamming and reacting to classic old school is truly the best reason for KZbin to exist. It just never gets old.

[@janawebb6490]

Jim Croce was always one of my dad's favorite artists he was great

[@stephenperretti8847]

Sometimes you've heard a sing through your entire life, but don't know the artist or the proper title. You just have memories connected to the song. Yeah, India,I get your reaction 100%.

[@ryanje8147]

this song brings back memories....everyone knows this one....you just can't sit still when this song is playing. Thanks for sharing.

[@GreenJeepAdventures]

When you are a child and before you learn to like your own style, you often are raised on what your parents listen too. I am blessed that Jim was one of their favorites and I still own the same records my parents listened to.

[@213DAMAR]

Gotta do "Operator"! I love that song! Jim Croce was a great singer and songwriter! He left this world much too soon.😧

[@andreadeamon6419]

Amazing vocals. So soothing

[@Niamhcotts]

Great T btw Jim tragic life story such a lovely man too.

[@Themis4970]

I love ALL your reactions :) Jim Croce is what my parents used to play on Saturday’s when we had to clean the house and do chores and my Dad would dance around with us - nothin but good memories with this album:) (not the chores lol just the music ;)

[@vincentsablan732]

@Jgirl, that's a cool story. I bet you turn on music when you do your chores now, huh? Lol

[@ursulabklyn_mia6148]

That's funny Saturday in the 70s was the big house cleaning day but no one was dancing with us. 6 kids and each girl had a chore except for my mother's precious son.

[@DocRockBaby]

another great reaction India, peace and love to you Sister stay safe in these crazy days we're in,

[@BillnYou1]

Dont ever say sorry for a fond memory of your Grandpa that was very sweet and real .. love you Darlin always a pleasure stopping by to see what you been up to .. hugss be safe!

[@MsDaniella71Next]

You are so adorable! I love seeing younger ones digging some of the music I grew up on. I'm glad you have such good taste in music. Keep it up baby girl and I will keep watching. Eva Cassidy never made it to the top but she was a phenomenal singer. My favorite is a jazzy version of Wayfaring Stranger. You should give her a listen... if she hadn't have died of cancer she would be a name you knew.

[@BigfootAnthropologist]

I'd love to see India react to Eva Cassidy's cover of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

[@MrMoon1953]

Croce is one of my all time favorites. Many knew him by his character songs - Leroy Brown, Roller Derby Queen, You Don't Mess Around with Jim..... Many knew him by his love songs - I'll have to say I love you in a song, Operator, Salon and Saloon, Photographs and Memories..... I just knew I loved his music. Thank you for this and keep them coming.

[@sgtjameslindsey2493]

So much wonderful music has been lost and forgotten. I'm glad you are traveling back in time with these great memories and feelings. God bless

[@paulm496]

Jim’s “I got a name” is amazing!!!

[@marcchetty7197]

You make me smile with your passion for music.

[@robertaistrope9602]

Jim Croce was a true troubadour Every song he did told a story and he did this better than most people could think of doing! "Operator" is one of my favorite Jim Croce songs and I would love to see you react to it!

[@sherrys5172]

Don't Mess Around With Jim, and Operater. Love this one too.

[@hirambodon7086]

Have you heard "You don't mess around with Jim"? I like that one even more.

[@butcherboy2008]

Both are about tough guys who cross the wrong person. Doris' husband and Slim.

[@kathypellette2509]

Jim Croce one of a kind of voice and its joyful to see your reaction to such a fun and endearing song!

[@peterblood50]

"Don't Mess Around With Jim" If you loved Leroy Brown, you're going to love the story of 'Big Jim Walker'.

[@danielbruns7055]

Thank you!!! Your reactions!!! My mood just went from a 6 outta 10, to a 10 out of 10 thank you so much!!!!

[@joannedungan8381]

Girl this song is the reason I only drive a continental. As a child jim Croce was a huge favorite and I'm glad someone is finally reacting to him

[@angusferdinandleonardojone8501]

No matter how bad you are, there’s always somebody out there who has your number! I loved the look on your face when you recognized it from your child hood 😊

[@joecrafted]

The first song that ever caught my attention as a kid...Jim Croce, Bad Bad Leroy Brown. I must have been 4 or 5 when I first heard it, and I'd always dance around when my parents played it. Been a fan of Jim Croce (and music) ever since. When you kind of pulled back in recognition...I could see it! This has a place in your childhood too.

[@robertreichle1]

I loved this the first time I heard it as a kid in the early 80's because I loved the wrestler in Mid-South Wrestling named the Junkyard Dog.

[@Nucken]

Croce,Chapin, and Cash( Love that you're rocking the shirt) the greatest storytellers in music. Jim Croce blessed the world with so many wonderful songs, both well known and obscure. I encourage you to explore more of this poetic genius.

[@stevesloan7132]

I wept real tears when Jim died in that plane crash. He was just about to go national on the radio. He had truly great lyrics and was part of "The Singer-Songwriter Revolution" on American radio. He was also charting during the transition of pop radio from long-reach AM (mono) to short reach FM (stereo). He wrote the best lyrics for a song called: Lover's Cross. That song moved me then, and moves me still. Thanks so much for this video. It means a lot to me. It was because of his lyrics that I started writing poetry.

[@rustybrown1835]

Can remember singing Jim Croce songs in music class in grade school, made a big fan out of me when I was in the 4th grade and at 58 I still am a fan of his music.

[@RealOGMudbone]

I absolutely love Jim Croce. Hey Tomorrow , One less set of footsteps, Careful man, Alabama rain, & I got a name are my favorites!

[@joeyrobison6629]

I remember it was such a shock when I heard about Jim's death. He had hits with "Operator" and "You Don't Mess Around With Jim" and "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" during his lifetime. The other hits came after his death with such songs as "I Got A Name" "I'll Have to Say I Love You In A Song" and "Working At the Car Wash Blues".

[@Craig2760]

India, I grew up listening and singing along with Jim. So nice to see his music is still being discovered and appreciated. Fun watching you chair dance to this great tune. Bet it would be fun taking you for a spin on the dance floor to this song.

[@PapaJim1963]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! With this reaction you brought a much needed smile to my face. This is a song I grew up listening to. Loved your reaction when you recognized this song. Thanks again India for bringing some much needed joy!!

[@lowrider4266]

That was priceless seeing you realize your grandpa jammed this song. I still have that album on vinyl. Killer album. Love Jom Croce. Legend gone way too soon.

[@gaiasiviero4317]

he is probably my fave singer, he deserves so much

[@patriotpride16t]

Jim Croce (Philly in the house!) is arguably one of the greatest singer/song writers in music history! Hearing his music takes me back to my childhood. My mother loved him so I heard his music often! Since the day my mom passed away, whenever I hear his music, it brings back great memories of my mom. It’s very comforting. His tragic death was a sad loss to the music industry as well as his fans. I loved seeing your enthusiastic response to this song! I’m looking forward to viewing your reactions in future videos.

[@verwulf]

Loved your reaction. I too grew up hearing this but didn't know the artist. Loved it.

How bout 'Alabama Rain', 'These Dreams', 'Box #10', 'Photographs and Memories', 'New York's Not My Home', 'Careful Man', 'Next Time, This Time' and 'Age'?

[@KimChilds75]

I love watching reaction channels & seeing other people hear & react to songs that I love for one reason or another. Lately though I've started to realize a lot of the songs I've heard throughout my 45 years of life, especially from the 60's & 70's, but also some from the 80's, I've never actually really heard the words. I can hear this song as one playing in the background of my childhood, but it was just something I always heard & never listened to. Thank you for that.

[@Zebred2001]

Operator was always my favorite Croce song but check out Roller Derby Queen. That's pretty fun too.

[@1920Janice]

Love this song! My friends and I would all sing along with Leroy Brown when it came on the car radio. Such a fun song!! ❤️🎵

[@justpeachy06]

When my son was born in '04...he wasn't having it with traditional lullabies. I started singing this one day walking around with him on my shoulder...it was like magic. From that point on...it worked every time. Great song....always one of my favorites!

[@JKM395]

I love seeing you appreciate the classics like this. Everyone should hear these.

[@georgecutting4265]

This is my absolute all-time favorite song by him and he is one hell of a Storyteller it when he's singing there's a story in everything he sings

[@maje7625]

Love it when life's memories and experiences come full circle. God Bless you and your Grandfather India!!!

[@aw5832]

Once I started listening to older music including Jim Croce I can't even listen to new modern music. You can't not jam and sing along to this song when it comes on. It's all Pandora and no more radio for me.

JIm Croce was a brilliant amd prolific song writer. He wrote about love and relationships and people like the true story teller he was.

[@marylarrimore3950]

I lived in the south side of Chicago when I went to college, I couldn't help but think of this song. I was a little girl when it was on radio play. My oldest brother is 20 years older than me. So I grew up hearing these classics.

[@TheWynch]

He did so many wonderful character songs. Try Roller Derby Queen. I cried the day he died. He died basically penniless and had all those hits. His wife spent years in litigation to win a small fraction of what the record companies stole from him. He died on his last tour, he had promised Ingrid as soon as the tour was done he was quitting the business.

[@rustybrown1835]

I read the same thing.

[@jimdunagan4180]

One of my fav tunes....used to hear this on the radio riding round with my mom in here little VW bug...and we would jam it lol....glad to hear you had same experience
