I lived in a small community where not only are you going to see your ex everyday They will be with your best friend and you suck on it because this is a small community and it is not easy to find someone. If you ever loved your ex and your best friend you will wish them all the best they can still be your friends if you can let your ego not screw that up It hurts when you lose the one who knows you better than anyone else If you are not hurting then you lost nothing What is pain today will be a warm smile tomorrow
I cried when he died only popular for one year so sad he and john denver died the same way plane crashes just like ricky nelson and patsy cline if I were a musician I would never get in a plane
I can't listen to Jim Croce without tearing up. I was born in 1971, my brother was class of 77. I remember sitting on my brothers old yellow Pontiac Grand Prix tank. He had wires running everywhere to speakers from his 8 track. Stacks of 8 tracks everywhere but he always had Jim playing. My brother passed away in 2003 and one of my favorite memories is of my brother and Jim. I play this song and shut my eyes and I am in that seat again next to him.
Sweet and sad story. I grew up listening to Croce my cousin introduced me. Sorry about your brother. I lost my older brother 19 years ago. A lot of things take me back to my childhood, as we get older we get nostalgic. Take care.
Jim died in a plane crash, 1973..30 years old...Had a bunch of hit songs at the height of his career....Tragic...He was very talented..."Time in a bottle" is another good one by JC.
@@jg53fuzzy89 didnt he write Time In A Bottle after his son was born. And was basically a testament to how happy he was in the position he was as a new father?
I saw him perform the night before he died, it's was a small, intimate venue. I was seated close to the stage where he sat alone on a stool and played non-stopped.
When Jim found out his wife was expecting, he literally sat down at their kitchen table and wrote over half of his #1 hit songs in a single week. He never lived to see his star rise completely, and sadly after his death, the record companies screwed his widow out of the royalty's she had coming.
Jim paid his dues and was climbing to the top when he was tragically killed in a plane crash at 30yrs old before he could see the success he worked so hard to achieve . Great songwriter.
"Time in a Bottle"...please. Jim Croce...pronounced kro-chee. God rest his beautiful soul. Like Karen Carpenter, he was taken way too soon. Thank you for your reactions to these wonderful songs.
It does that to me as well. He had such a great voice for telling tragic stories like this one. And who of us hasn't wanted to call an old flame many years later and tell them that you are doing okay?
I also would really love to hear your reaction to Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce. It is a song that makes me sad each time I hear it, because Jim didn't have much time after recording this song.
I remember soon after he died they had a special on his music. The intro was Time In a Bottle. I remembet so well thecannouncer saying ... Time ran out for Jim Croce ... and then talked about his death
The most memorable lyric to me is "Thank you for your time, ah, you've been so much more than kind And you can keep the dime" due to the fact that Every Gas station and almost every street corner in America had a Payphone and it only cost a Single dime. I bet most kids these days would be Stumped at what they were LOL!
Yes and you had to speak to an "operator " sometimes especially long distance calls, they would interrupt your call and ask you to put more money in to continue talking usually to your girlfriend!
Jim was an American treasure and you did a great reaction to the song. His songs always spoke to the 'real life' experiences of people. "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" , "Working at the Car Wash Blues", "Time in a Bottle".
Jim's song "Photographs and Memories" is a tear jerker, especially in light of his tragic death and thinking about the wife and 2 year old son he left behind.
"Let's forget about this call. There's nobody there I really want to talk to." The saddest words in the song, after his bottled up emotions started busting out with "there's something in my eyes" that made it impossible to read the number he just wrote down.
Huge Jim Croce fan I played his song Time in a Bottle so many times my sister actually broke my 45 record so I'd stop! Great song Love all your reactions India an keeping you in my Prayers!!!
Such a talented man and I have loved the song you just played and time in a bottle from the first time I heard them, they are both on my play list still. Thx for the reaction it takes me back to the days of my childhood when everything was easy . Great job...♡
Yeah, standing at a pay phone to make a call. Like "Sylvia's Mother" (written by Shel Silverstein, sung by Dr. Hook). Which reminds me that Croce wrote another song from the perspective of somebody standing at a pay phone -- Box #10! That's a good one!
Jim was my hero when I was 9 years old. I LOVED his story-telling style. He was also my first experience with death. His passing effed me up for quite a while. Just hearing his voice takes me back to that time: living off-base in Leonburg, Germany, where I couldn't really speak the language yet, but I DID speak the language of Croce. My neighbor friend Barenhart mourned Jim's death, even though he had to interpret MY sorrow to do so. I still miss that man's soothing voice.
You are so expressive and I LOVE watching you react to these songs, thank you for this channel, it helps me come out of isolation and depression, thank you young lady
I’m really impressed at the wide range of stuff you react to. I honestly forgot about Croce until I saw this video, and it immediately caused flashbacks of my childhood. We would take long road trips from Ohio to Georgia or to Texas to visit family, and when we listened to him the entire van of 9 people would sing along. I’m not very close with my family now, so this is a memory I wish I hadn’t forgotten about. Thank you for reminding me, I will cherish those memories now.
One of my all time favorite songs! Even if something like that hasn’t happened to you one can relate to the pain that a betrayal of that level would cause! Great reaction!
Seeing you feel the emotions the song is trying to convey is fascinating and a joy to see. A very sad song and some of us have been there. Keep up the good work.
I'm so glad you did this song... It's one of my faves... My mom made me really listen to the words to this song in the middle of the grocery store... And it made me love the song that much more...
Thank you for reminding everyone about this song and the wonderful storytelling of Jim Croce (pronounced CROW-chee, but you did pretty well since it was new to you!). You should react to a couple more of his songs - so many of them really make one stop and think.
I subscribed to your channel because you listen to these songs with an open mind. These songs are our favorites for a reason but some people won't give them a chance to see why. Thumbs up
Thanks for appreciating the "old stuff". This 61 year old white guy should react to some favorite music of this young lady!! Fun! When words speak the truth of the heart that's cool. "Time in a Bottle", is a great example of a timeless song. It's meaning is clear whether the year is 1776 or 1976. Farout!! -- Code Man 😎
5:22 "Operator" by Grateful Dead has totally different lyrics and melody. Jim Croce's song is totally different and written by Jim himself. The only thing similar is the title of the song.
Jim was fantastic and I love your vids. Omg. Just noticed you reacted to one of my fave bands Hanoi Rocks. For years ... Lord your cool. Gotta check em out now
India, you have found the perfect outlet for your passion by sharing your reaction to the MASTERS of their crafts. Seeing your joy is so wonderful it makes me feel like you're lifelong friend. THANK YOU! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jim Croce's last name is actually pronounced as "Crow-chee". I sometimes mispronounce people's names when it's spelled weird too. Anyway, I recommend Jim Croce's most popular song, "Bad Leroy Brown"
Try Time In A Bottle. One of the most beautiful love songs you'll ever hear. Since you actually listen to lyrics, you'll enjoy it. It's his signature song. Hopefully, the audio quality will be better than this song. For funny songs, Roller Derby Queen and You Don't Mess Around With Jim.
What I love about you is your appreciation of Oldies and classic rock. I have relived memories of my youth watching you and listening to the music that was an important part of my youth. Continue to show your variety of videos and music. FYI, my first concert in 1973 was Chuck Berry.
Now you are reacting to one of my all time favorite singers. Jim Croce brings me back to the days long ago when my parents were still married and life was great. Please react to....Time in a bottle and You don't mess around with Jim.
Quiet guy, with immense talent. "I'll have to say I love you in a song" "Time in a Bottle" "I Got a Name" "Big Bad Leroy Brown" and this one, were his biggest songs, and they were BIG, and he was GREAT! Thanks India!!
His girl hooked up with his best friend, so he lost the two most important people in his life. He thought he was over it but true heartbreaks never really heal.
One of my favorites... I love all his songs ... listen to his whole album... what a range of different emotions...I was an operator and this was the conversation we would have... person to person, back in the day!
As a young lad, I listened to my fathers Croce records over and over. Jim's ability to tell stories stands out and I think I learned a lot about the hardships of love long before I ever had my heart broke in real life.
It's funny how you forget some things as you get older. I always loved Jim Croce, but the passing of the ages caused me to forget. Just another of my memories i let slip. Thank you for playing this one. I used to listen to this while riding around with my friends as a teenager. Jim was the best.
When I was in high school in the 70s I listened to that album over and over and operator was my favorite song. Now that I'm older and play guitar myself I can really appreciate the beautiful acoustic guitar work in this song
YASSS, more Jim Croce!!! (pronounced Croh-chee, two syllables). Rapid Roy, Leroy Brown, Time In a Bottle, Photographs & Memories -- all are great songs!!!
Hey, India. Shout out from Fairbanks, Alaska. One of the most isolated [laces on the country.I just love your channel and this morning you brought tears to my eyes. I fell in love with Jim Croce when I was young in the 70's and like many young girls, I just knew I would marry him someday. Then something went terribly wrong and he was killed. I guess he was my first heartbreak...I miss him so much and will always wonder what he would have sung to me all of these lost years. RIP, baby I miss you so.
This happened to me in my 20’s and India you are so right.. you don’t just get over it .. you seem to be wise beyond your years.. love your reactions 😊
Jim was also a song writer and told a song with ever word. His life was cut short when he died in a plane crash. I can't tell you how many times I have replaced his music due to changing formats. My music collection will always have all of his music included. There was so much great music in the 70s. I am 66 years old and have lived fro Bill Hailey and the Comets rock around the clock to the music of today. Much will be here for a minute and then forgotten. Jim's thanks to those who fell in love with his music then and thankfully those that have never heard of him before now hearing him on your show will have the chance to love it as well. Listen and react to all of his music you won't be sorry. Others , Carol King, James Taylor and Nei Diamond just to name a few would also be worth your time. Thank you for helping the music to live on.
Thank you for watching

I lived in a small community where not only are you going to see your ex everyday
They will be with your best friend and you suck on it because this is a small community and it is not easy to find someone.
If you ever loved your ex and your best friend you will wish them all the best they can still be your friends if you can let your ego not screw that up
It hurts when you lose the one who knows you better than anyone else
If you are not hurting then you lost nothing
What is pain today will be a warm smile tomorrow
India Reacts I'm glad you're being exposed to music"before your time". I wish you success in what you do.
For something in a similar vein, check out Dr. Hook's 'Sylvia's Mother'.
I cried when he died only popular for one year so sad he and john denver died the same way plane crashes just like ricky nelson and patsy cline if I were a musician I would never get in a plane
you should listen to "time in bottle"
I can't listen to Jim Croce without tearing up. I was born in 1971, my brother was class of 77. I remember sitting on my brothers old yellow Pontiac Grand Prix tank. He had wires running everywhere to speakers from his 8 track. Stacks of 8 tracks everywhere but he always had Jim playing. My brother passed away in 2003 and one of my favorite memories is of my brother and Jim. I play this song and shut my eyes and I am in that seat again next to him.
Sweet and sad story. I grew up listening to Croce my cousin introduced me. Sorry about your brother. I lost my older brother 19 years ago. A lot of things take me back to my childhood, as we get older we get nostalgic. Take care.
The operator the matchbook and the Dime a sign of times passed
Just a beautiful memory. This is why these songs are so important.
Jim died in a plane crash, 1973..30 years old...Had a bunch of hit songs at the height of his career....Tragic...He was very talented..."Time in a bottle" is another good one by JC.
Also killed Maury Muehleisen, his backup guitarist who I believe could have been one of the best guitar players ever.
“TIME IN A BOTTLE” indeed
@@jg53fuzzy89 didnt he write Time In A Bottle after his son was born. And was basically a testament to how happy he was in the position he was as a new father?
James McDaniel ........ I think that might be the case, I don’t remember though. I believe it was mentioned in that VH1 Behind The Music documentary
I saw him perform the night before he died, it's was a small, intimate venue. I was seated close to the stage where he sat alone on a stool and played non-stopped.
Crow-chee is how his name is pronounced.
If your name sounded like "crotch" wouldn't you change it? Lol.
Crow- chAy, Isnt it?
@@cheripetty1805 Nope, -chee. It isn't French, I think it's Hungarian or Slavic.
Ok, well, that was wrong - it's Italian.
@@andhisband Attsa Matta fo me? ATTSA MATTA FO YOU!??
I googled "How to pronounce Jim Croce...it's Crow-Chay!
Touche! Cheers!!
When Jim found out his wife was expecting, he literally sat down at their kitchen table and wrote over half of his #1 hit songs in a single week. He never lived to see his star rise completely, and sadly after his death, the record companies screwed his widow out of the royalty's she had coming.
Have you been to his widow's night club in San Diego?
Low lifes
Jim paid his dues and was climbing to the top when he was tragically killed in a plane crash at 30yrs old before he could see the success he worked so hard to achieve . Great songwriter.
You could tell that he loved what he was doing, though he never really felt the success.
"Time in a Bottle"...please. Jim Croce...pronounced kro-chee. God rest his beautiful soul. Like Karen Carpenter, he was taken way too soon. Thank you for your reactions to these wonderful songs.
Jim Croce gave us some of the sweetest music of the 70s, that still hits a heartstring today ❤️
This song still makes me tear up sometimes and I've heard it 100 times. He was such a great singer/songwriter.
It does that to me as well. He had such a great voice for telling tragic stories like this one. And who of us hasn't wanted to call an old flame many years later and tell them that you are doing okay?
Me too. I get very emotional.
Please more Jim Croce. "I'll have to say I love you in a song" would be a good one to do next.
Agree
Such a terrible loss to the music world when Jim Croce and Harry Chapin died. They were both outstanding story tellers.
Both of these gentlemen were among my favorite artists and I am a huge Pink Floyd and Moody Blues fan I love Jim Croce and Harry Chapin
I also would really love to hear your reaction to Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce. It is a song that makes me sad each time I hear it, because Jim didn't have much time after recording this song.
Yes! I second Time in a Bottle for a reaction video. It's such a beautiful yet haunting song.
I remember soon after he died they had a special on his music. The intro was Time In a Bottle. I remembet so well thecannouncer saying ... Time ran out for Jim Croce ... and then talked about his death
Time in a bottle. Photographs and memories. Lovers cross.
most people don't recommend Lovers Cross - good choice
Lovers cross is his second best song imo
Photographs and Memories!!
The most memorable lyric to me is "Thank you for your time, ah, you've been so much more than kind
And you can keep the dime" due to the fact that Every Gas station and almost every street corner in America had a Payphone and it only cost a Single dime. I bet most kids these days would be Stumped at what they were LOL!
What a great poet writer he was, I miss him!!
Yes and you had to speak to an "operator " sometimes especially long distance calls, they would interrupt your call and ask you to put more money in to continue talking usually to your girlfriend!
Superman would be flummoxed.
Wore out my father's 8 track of this album. I got a name, bad bad Leroy Brown, time in a bottle, don't mess around with Jim. Tragic.
R.I.P. Jim 🤘
Such beautiful acoustic guitar work on this.
Im a 1000% metal head but Jim Croce was amazing, taken away far too early.
Me to, the one that always gets me is cats in the cradle.
@@JerryDurante Cats in the cradle is Harry Chapin
@@efraim3364 You are right, I stand corrected
@@JerryDurante great song by the way, gets me in the feels also
@@efraim3364 And Ugly Kid Joe did a cover of Cats In The Cradle.
'Leroy Brown' & 'Dont mess around with Jim'

@@moesyzslak2939 my daughter would ask for it by the lyrics lol
Absolutely, for a good time!
9 months later, your request came true.
That got him a brief animation on a night talk show.
My personal favorite Croce song is "I Have to Say I Love You In a Song"
Jim was an American treasure and you did a great reaction to the song. His songs always spoke to the 'real life' experiences of people. "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" , "Working at the Car Wash Blues", "Time in a Bottle".
Love the songs that you posted in your message !
New York's not my home was another great one.
As well as I got a name.
I could go on
Jim's song "Photographs and Memories" is a tear jerker, especially in light of his tragic death and thinking about the wife and 2 year old son he left behind.
"Let's forget about this call. There's nobody there I really want to talk to."
The saddest words in the song, after his bottled up emotions started busting out with "there's something in my eyes" that made it impossible to read the number he just wrote down.

Two concepts in this story; a phone call. An operator. That our youngest generation are largely unfamiliar with. Hard to imagine.
Make that 3. Outside of an Airport, when was the last time you saw a payphone? LoL
Oh, and a matchbook.
Yeah, standing at a pay phone to make a call. Like "Sylvia's Mother" (written by Shel Silverstein, sung by Dr. Hook). Which reminds me that Croce wrote another song from the perspective of somebody standing at a pay phone -- Box #10! That's a good one!
and paying a dime for a phone call.
Jim crow-chi. What an amazing song writer and singer! Paid his dues and his life was taken away before he could benefit from his hard work.
The "you can keep the dime" line kills me every time.
i just posted the exact same feeling before seeing your post !
Ah, when a pay phone call was a dime
Always better to see Jim Live. True storyteller. Died so young.
Love watching your authentic reactions. A genuine human being is rare these days. Love from California
"New York's Not My Home"....another great story-teller...the best.. RIP Jim Croce!! Love your channel India!!

I’m nine.... I wish big ol Jim could be here.... greatest song writer EVER.
You are so expressive and I LOVE watching you react to these songs, thank you for this channel, it helps me come out of isolation and depression, thank you young lady
"I got a Name" , "Big Bad Leroy Brown" , "Don't mess around with Jim".
This one, "Lover's Cross" and "I've Got A Name" are my fave JC songs.
Lovers Cross never gets the deserved attention. Beautiful song.
Thanks for showing this. I love the songs Jim Croce made. Worth listening to.
The beauty of this era of music is that they told a story with their lyrics and Jim Croce was one of the best at it.
Music then was so much more engaging emotoinally, musically, and lyrically.
It’s still there you just gotta know where to find it and it’s usually not on the radio but I agree the oldies are awesome
Jim's songs always had so much passion, such a talent taken too soon.
I’m really impressed at the wide range of stuff you react to. I honestly forgot about Croce until I saw this video, and it immediately caused flashbacks of my childhood. We would take long road trips from Ohio to Georgia or to Texas to visit family, and when we listened to him the entire van of 9 people would sing along. I’m not very close with my family now, so this is a memory I wish I hadn’t forgotten about. Thank you for reminding me, I will cherish those memories now.

Excellent choice! A very talented man (actually 2 men) and his music. ☮️
jim wrote that song
Seeing you feel the emotions the song is trying to convey is fascinating and a joy to see. A very sad song and some of us have been there. Keep up the good work.
I'm so glad you did this song...
It's one of my faves...
My mom made me really listen to the words to this song in the middle of the grocery store...
And it made me love the song that much more...
Croce and John Denver my favorites from the singer/songwriter era.
Would love to see John Denver's Annie's Song or Rocky Mountain High or fly away or pretty much any of John Denver's Greatest Hits.
*R.IP. JIM* 😭❤ Definitely one of the greatest song writers of all time.
I'm really enjoying watching someone experience for the first time one of my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing.
You are fantastic! Love the way you really hear the music.
This was back when you could dial "0" and talk to a telephone operator. Kids today wouldn't know what he is talking about!
TAKES ME BACK TO A WHOLESOME TIME IN MY LIFE😉✌🙏

1972 Saw Croce and Charlie Rich performing in a park in Peoria Illinois. I was 13. My first official concert. Forever a fan.
Great show, especially for the first time out
Thanks for appreciating the "old stuff". This 61 year old white guy should react to some favorite music of this young lady!! Fun! When words speak the truth of the heart that's cool.

Love your exspancive range of music. Some of these oldies are a great memorie to us older dudes and shouldn't fade away
Now you need to do some Cat Stevens - Wild World or Father and Son.
Oh yes! Father and Son is an amazing song!

Jim Croce's last name is actually pronounced as "Crow-chee". I sometimes mispronounce people's names when it's spelled weird too.
Anyway, I recommend Jim Croce's most popular song, "Bad Leroy Brown"
WRONG!!
Try Time In A Bottle. One of the most beautiful love songs you'll ever hear. Since you actually listen to lyrics, you'll enjoy it. It's his signature song. Hopefully, the audio quality will be better than this song.
For funny songs, Roller Derby Queen and You Don't Mess Around With Jim.

I love this music you are reacting to. Wonderful.
Grateful Dead's 'Operator' totally different song; enjoyed your reaction tho!
Thank goodness this has been rectified!
I think you'll really like this song: Harry Chapin - Cats in the Cradle

"A love that I thought would save me" aint that the truth
You aren't joking...
His girl hooked up with his best friend, so he lost the two most important people in his life. He thought he was over it but true heartbreaks never really heal.
That was a song. Ingrid didn't just stand behind hem she made his professional life possible.
@@raymondjayjohnson693 Yeah I was taking about the character in the song, not Jim Croce.
This is unfortunately a true statement!
I love that your introducing many people to some of the best music Ever Recorded
One of my favorites... I love all his songs ... listen to his whole album... what a range of different emotions...I was an operator and this was the conversation we would have... person to person, back in the day!
Half of the viewers are like, “What is an Operator?”
Ray was his best friend then he stole Jim's girl which made him his Ex best friend
As a young lad, I listened to my fathers Croce records over and over. Jim's ability to tell stories stands out and I think I learned a lot about the hardships of love long before I ever had my heart broke in real life.

Pronounced CRO- CHEE.
You're probably too young to know what a payphone is😁
Please read this before you try to pronounce his name again.
Your reaction video, gave me a chance to really hear this old wonderful song.
When I was in high school in the 70s I listened to that album over and over and operator was my favorite song. Now that I'm older and play guitar myself I can really appreciate the beautiful acoustic guitar work in this song
Love this, He did some great songs!

Thank you for helping the music to live on.
Thank you! More Jim please!
