“I Got a Name” isn’t just his best, it’s one of the best pop songs of the 1970’s.

But he didn't write "I Got a Name". A singer-songwriter wouldn't want to have fans love a song he didn't write most of all his records. Let's say it's as great a vocal performance as he ever put on tape.

Dudes - my first wife was a Croce fan. We were also Parrotheads and she loved James Taylor but before she died at age 32 back in '98 I reached out to Buffet and Taylor to call her. They never responded. However, Croce's widow Ingrid called her in the hospital the day before she went into a coma. It was the last time I saw her smile. I put these words on her gravestone" "If I had a box just for wishes/and Dreams that had never come true/The box would be empty, except for the memory/Of how they were answered by you." That woman is a saint in my book and I am forever a Jim Croce fan, teaching his songs to my kids.

All great choices; “I Got a Name” is one of the few he sang that he did not write; the words were written by a prolific and talented songwriter named Norman Gimbel and the music was compose by another New Yorker, Charles Ira Fox. Fox and Gimbel wrote it for a movie, The Last American Hero, then heard Jim Croce sing Operator, and asked Jim to sing it for the film, which had been inspired by an essay by Tom Wolfe, a well known journalist and novelist; Croce agreed in part because the lyrics reminded him of the relationship between Croce and his dad.

For your next upbeat Croce song, “Bad Bad Leroy Brown” is good, but it’s very similar to this one. Instead I’d recommend what I think is his funniest song, “Workin’ at the Car Wash Blues.” “Roller Derby Queen” is good, too. For a ballad, “I’ll Have to Say I Love You in a Song” is just gorgeous. And at some point you’ve got to hear “Lover’s Cross,” a deep cut and my favorite Jim Croce song.

He was only around for a very short time, so his discography is very limited; therefore, every song feels like a treasure. Any and every song you react to will be a favorite, because they are all favorites. You simply cannot go wrong with Jim Croce ❤️ Love your channel, A&A 👍😊

But the invite to an actual concert was too good to pass up as my musical interests were just taking shape. That hooked me on live music. Thanks to my mom and Johnny Rivers, there will always be a special memory whenever his name is mentioned. After that, i saved every penny I could to buy concert tickets. My first show without chaperone was The Guess Who with Nazareth about a year later.

Our generation considered Bob Dylan the Godfather of Folk, Jim Croce was considered the Prince of Folk music 🎵.You guys need to go into a full album. There are so many great songs.

We lost such a talented musician with Croce’s passing. He was a once in a generation talent.

As does Speedball Speedball Tucker, terror of the highway, and all the other truckers would tell you that the boy is mad, to be driving in a rig like that (95 is the route you were on - it was not the speed limit sign)

Brings me back to the early 70's back when you used to hear great tunes on rock stations that weren't necessarily of the rock genre. Used to have a lot more cross pollination of different genres of other great bans besides just straight rock, or such.

Though Jim Croce didn’t write “I Got A Name,” Jim Croce’s version is a masterpiece and it is the best song that he ever recorded.
So Cute 🥰 who is better?
