I absolutely agree that the world lost an amazing singer songwriter. I shared a room with my sister growing up. who was 10 years older than my 4 yrs. I still love him today. It’s hard to pick a fav Jc song but I love Is “It doesn’t have to be that way. “You have to do this tt has a bit of a Xmas touch. 💜

[@randysummers9228]

“Operator” is his masterpiece. He was on the road as a touring musician most of the time. He only found commercial success near the end of his career. He had gotten to a point where he wanted to focus more on his wife and son. He was planning to limit his touring schedule. The plane crash came as he was winding down his last tour. I can’t imagine being his wife and hearing these lyrics on every radio. He finally found what he wanted to do but didn’t have enough time to do those things. A chilling song.

[@terrilgeorge7255]

I agree 😊 Operator makes me teary still, all these years later. RIP Jim.

[@teemusid]

His last concert was a make-up date that he had to cancel. Between the original date, and the new date, he was playing bigger venues due to his growing fame, yet he honored the original commitment.

In almost all of his songs the guitar parts were played by both Jim and his musical partner Maury Muehleisen. Maury doesn't get mentioned as much because Jim was the lead singer and songwriter ... but Maury's guitar playing is sublime and a perfect pairing with Jim. Maury died in the same plane crash as Jim - this musical duo was an incredible loss to the world..

[@TripletDad3]

Maury had a sound that I've never heard from anyone else. He was a master guitarist that could evoke emotions that fit the songs perfectly.

My dad told me when I was a kid that Jim sat down and wrote this song the night his wife let him know he'd be a dad soon. Sadly, he died just a few years after his son was born. My dad always said it was like Jim knew he wouldn't be around for his son, so he wrote this song to tell him how much he wishes he would be there. Such a beautiful song about a parent's love! ❤

[@marian.jablonski54]

Sadly, AJ Croce, Jim's son, lost his sight as a toddler due to horrific physical abuse by a man his mother was dating. He was hospitalized for an extended period of time - eventually he regained vision in one eye. He's is a musician and performer just like his dad.

[@helindove2237]

I think AJ has some very good songs. He also sings his father's songs. He struggled with this one due to its meaning and the heartbreaking events in his family.

"Photographs and Memories", "Operator" and "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" are also great songs of Jim's softer side. He crammed a lifetime's worth of songs in just a way too few years. Glad you are giving him a listen and exposing new generations to his incredible talents. Great job!

[@phylliskress2296]

There was also "Lover's Cross" iirc.

OH MAN! This really does it to me. I Love Jim Croce. Was a huge fan in High school. Really devastated when he died. This one is really special to me. I take it as a life lesson. "Don't let time go by unnoticed. It's NEVER coming back." Especially with your kids. There are no unimportant days.

It's a song that ranks amongst the greatest songs ever written.

[@oldladylovesBruno]

The most beautiful song he wrote. I saw his son AJ in a concert at our local Community College. He is incredible on the piano, and he ended the show by singing this song. Jim Croce has so many hit songs, and surprisingly they were all released within 8 months before he died. There's no telling how much more he could have done if he had lived. AJ's stepfather was abusive to him and blinded him at 4 years old. He regained partial sight in one eye.

[@gypsygirl3255]

Incredibly sad story about AJ.

[@Teresia12]

Dude he may have been abused but losing his eyesight was due to a brain tumor. I have tried to find reference to his step father being abusive and can't find it. Can you send me the website that speaks on that?

My Mom still to this day has a hard time listening to this song ("TIME IN A BOTTLE"). Jim died in a plane crash and at that time her favorite cousin died in a plane crash. This song and Stevie Wonder 's "YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE" she would actually change the radio station.....the power of music.

[@ThatandCo]

On September 20, 1973, at the height of his popularity and the day before the lead single to his fifth album I Got a Name was released, Croce and five others died in a plane crash. His music continued to chart throughout the 1970s following his death. My Mom bought tickets to the concert that we never got to go to , she woke that morning and heard it on the news I was 13 at the time getting ready for school when she told me . As an early student of the guitar I was crushed by the death of a man with so much talent , later in life I was again moved when I found out all the backstory a true working class Joe he was .

[@mistywaters5550]

Times have changed so much since the 70's and information was not so freely shared living in a small town I had no idea he died that early in the 70's. His songs were always on the radio, like he was still alive.. Thank you for sharing your story

I was a huge, huge, huge Jim Croce fan in High School 50 years ago and I wore out the tape listening to this particular song most of all. He wrote it specifically for his son, who is also a musician now, too. He wasn't able to perform this song, though, as it affected him just too much. Finally, when he had children himself he finally decided to do the song as a tribute to his dad, and for his child... Edit: His song "Operator" is fantastic too!

Love this song - we had it played at our wedding. The song wasn't intended to be a single, but the album track got a lot of airplay, given that the album was release posthumously, a few months after Jim's death at age 30. It really gives the lyrics about never having "enough time to do the things you want to do once you find them" a deeper meaning when you know about his untimely death. Thanks for this one!

I remember Jim Croce died on Sept. 20, 1973, the day before my 15th birthday. His star was rising at the time of his death, which didn't seem real at the time. I went to Peaches Records and bought two of his cassette tapes for my birthday and listened to them for next 6 months. His voice and music echoed everywhere. It was just crazy that a plane crash ended his life. My Mother liked this song as well as ONE LESS SET OF FOOTSTEPS, OPERATOR and I GOT A NAME. I liked those songs too, as well as RAPID ROY THE STOCKCAR BOY and the blue collar mantra, WORKING AT THE CAR WASH BLUES. Jim had a son, A.J. who was barely 2 years old, at the time of his death. He tours and plays his father's music and tells stories about his famous dad. He would've been proud his son carries his legacy. Enjoy.

Songfacts®: Jim Croce wrote this reflective song the night that he found out his wife, Ingrid, was pregnant. The couple had been married for five years, and Ingrid found out she was pregnant when she went to a fertility specialist.

Thank you for revisiting Jim Croce's music! I really hope you can listen to some more of his songs. So far, you have barely scratched the surface of his talent. My favorites include the fantastic " I got a name." "Photographs and Memories," "New York's not my Home," and "I'll Have To Say I Love You In a Song". Jim Croce recorded "I Got A Name," right before he tragically died in a plane crash. It was his last song released and didn't get released until after his death, which makes it all the more impactful, IMHO.

One of Jim Croce's many masterpieces! "Time in a Bottle" evokes many memories from days gone by.

Time In A Bottle....a timeless beauty of emotion and musicianship.

My mom passed in 2020. This song would make her cry. We had her fir 77 years and were so blessed. I love Jim Croce.

This was Our song we had at our wedding 48 years ago. I had an illumination made of the lyrics - still hanging on Our bedroom wall. Enjoyed your very positive vibes.

This song makes me bawl my eyes out. The first time I heard it was the day a friend of mine was killed. It was playing on the radio when I was told. Such a flood of emotions.. Every time I hear it I swear I'm not going to cry, but I always lose that battle. FUN FACT NOT KNOWN BY A LOT OF PEOPLE - Jim made his living, before his family got royalties from his music, as a truck driver and a special ed teacher. Knowing this tells you a lot about where his story telling songs come from. Age - I so LOVE this song. The words resonate with me and the music is beautiful. I could listen to this song over and over again and never get tired of hearing it. One Less Set of Footsteps Walkin' Back to Georgia - this is such a pretty song Photographs And Memories - to me this is the quintessential Croce song A Long Time Ago I Got A Name Operator Box #10 I'll Have to Say I Love You In A Song It Doesn't Have to Be That Way Lover's Cross New York's Not My Home Roller Derby Queen - this is a great toe-tapper and just makes me smile - my favorite line..."she' was built like a fridgerator with a head." lol He was in love with all 5 ft 6 in, 215 lbs of her. :o) The Hard Way Every Time Tomorrow's Gonna Be a Brighter Day These Dreams - I think everyone can relate to this song Dreamin' Again

Such an amazing song! Thank you for this reaction!!! Love your channel! Would love to see you guys do more from Jim!

Jim left us too soon...he was a great talent...

[@sheilameyers152]

He does have a sweet sweet voice…. hated to see him go! Unfortunately he was involved in a horrible plane crash! Gone to soon! The song was written for his wife! We all loved this song even more because he died right after the song was a big hit!

@@sheilameyers152 If the company who chartered the plane to Jim and his entourage had provided a competent pilot, they'd all probably still be with us today...

Was listing to Jim Croce ❤, Time in a bottle ..they he wrote it for his son... This video of your reaction came up. Have you heard his song Operator ? All is songs are great.. RIP Mr. Croce 🙏🏼❤️ Gone way too soon.😢 You guys are great !!

[@stevegirardmedia2255]

He passed before this song was released, I believe… adding another level of sadness through the melancholy nature of the melody and lyrics. “I Have to Say I Love You in a Song” is another of his classic ballads… though much more cheerful! And please do me a favor - include Croce’s song “It Doesn’t Have to be That Way” with your Christmas playlist. The song is just brilliant, and is a breakup & possible reconciliation song set at the holidays. It makes me feel hopeful because of the journey and words the character uses in the song.

Great song. For the next Jim Croce song for you to react to, check out "I'll have To Say I Love You In A Song."

[@sonyawasmer2344]

His “I’ll have to say I love you in a song” and “Operator” are my favorites. It’s so nice to see young people reacting to music that I loved as a kid. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Love Jim Croce. Photogragh and memories is also one of his best songs. Worth reviewing.

[@craigreid7178]

My favorite Jim Croce song. It always reminds me of Christmas - I seem to remember it being played on the radio around Christmas time every year.
