He was at the top of his career when he died in a plane crash. Time In A Bottle is a really beautiful one you MUST hear.
Time in a Bottle is a must Jim Croce song.
Top of his career maybe, but he was about to walk away from it all. He was on his farewell tour.
Sad that he died poor and his wife had to fight for so many years to get the money that was owed to Jim and his family.
I live in the town where he lost his life following a concert he did at the local university. (his name is pronounced Cro-chee)
@@cstanfield0333 his name is Italian, so it's actually pronounced Croh-cheh. That is how Italians pronounce it.
Excellent. You really need to follow that one up with Jim's song "You Don't Mess Around with Jim".
There's some great advice in that song 🤣🤣🤣
“Don’t mess with slim” 😂
" don't pee in the wind" 🤣🤣🤣 OK, spit, but my brother's and I changed it up
Another of his that's similar is YOU DON'T MESS AROUND WITH JIM
Both songs are about no matter how bad you think you are, there's always someone more bad!
Time In A Bottle and Operator are his two best songs.
💯💯💯💯💯💯 bangers
Yes!! Go deep. Stuff we all grew up with.
I agree 100%
Yes! crazy I was just listening to both these songs on my record player!
I've got a name is mine as it was my late Dad's favourite
As others have noted, to really hear his genius you need "Time in a Bottle" and "Operator". The fun songs are very fun, but the ballads will tear your heart out.
and "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song"
Lover's Cross
They sure will!!!
And I've got a name
Hey you two!!! About time you got around to reacting to the late great Jim Croce! "Operator", "Time In A Bottle", "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song" and "I Got A Name" are his best songs, though there are many more! Give them a try one day!!
All of these are classics!!!
jim croce and maury muehleisen ( the other guitarist in this video ) were killed shortly after this appearance in a plane crash. RIP guys, we'll never know what other classics they would have come up with. I always liked this song, it brings me back to when i was growing up, but they have much, much better.
props to Maury Muehleisen, known for his studio work and collaborations with Jim.
I honestly think, of all the young greats that died young in the 60's and the 70's, Jim Croce's death was the most prolific. I think he would have reached ridiculous heights.
Maury Muehleisen was only 24 when he died. Phenomenal guitarist. A prodigy.
Jim Croce used to be a school teacher. He was one of those singer-song writers who told a story when he sang. Many hits in a very short time.
For future reference, his name is pronounced with a long "e" sound---CROACH-ee.
Great reaction---so glad to have y'all back and feelin' better!!
Not sure why but it seems like lots of TH-camrs always pronounce his name wrong. They don't know better but its still annoying. LOL.
Well actually his name is Italian, so the proper pronunciation is Croh-cheh, if we are being pedantic.
they pronounced it correctly
@@surlechapeau it's an Italian name and the Italian way of pronouncing it isn't with hard vowels, but soft vowels, so Crow-Chee isn't the right pronunciation at all, but Croh-cheh is.
@Fuzzi, The correct pronunciation is the way Jim pronounced is own damn name.
Another great folk rock singer songwriter who we lost so young. This is the music I grew up with. Unique storyteller & ballad singer. He touches your soul. He had a lot of great hits in his short career. "Photographs & Memories", "Time In A Bottle", "Operator", "You Don't Mess Around With Jim", "I Got A Name", "Workin' At The Car Wash Blues," "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song", "Roller Derby Queen" etc.
Add another for "I'll have to say I love you...." and "Operator"...
"Roller Derby Queen".....LOL!
Jim Croce was truly as you say a gifted song writer., one of my favorites . Another one of his great lesson songs is “You don’t mess around with Jim”. I this a great story song with a powerful message. Check it out!!! Looking forward to your next video!!😎👍👍👍
Don't forget "Roller Derby Queen".
Photographs and memories and if your Like Jim you also need to check out Harry Chapin
Listen to "Operator", also "Time In A Bottle" two more great songs. Early 1970's, sadly he passed in an airplane accident not long after all these great songs were becoming hits.
I Was Walking Down The Street Listening To My Radio When They Broke In & Announced That Jim Had Just Died,, I Instantly Froze & Tears Began To Run Down My Face..I Will Never Forget It..R.I.P. Jim 🙏 ❤
He was one of the best at telling a story in his songs.
Check out his song “don’t mess around with Jim”
Yes!!!!
You don't mess around with Jim is another hit song of his
Man o man jim croce was a national treasure he wrote some of the greatest folk songs ever RIP to jim and marty
Sounds of the 70's..just love it..pronounced as KROW-CHEE..😁..good music ...go go go!!🔥🔥🔥..!down on memory lane..much❤️ from the philippines..🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Have such mixed emotions about this song. It reminds me of my childhood as my mother was a big croce fan. But I named my dog Leroy and he was my best friends for over 15 years. Unfortunately he passed this summer and I miss him dearly! Still a great song by one of the greatest storytellers to ever make music
So sorry about your fur kid. I know how painful that is
Shoulda done the studio version, but this was cool, too. Jim Croce was gone too soon. So many great songs. I GOT A NAME oughta be your next one.
That's the one song in his discography, that Croce didn't write. The record producers wanted to add one more virtually sure hit to the album and hired some songsmiths to write it.
One of my late Dad's favourite singer's. "I've got a name" please. My Dad's fav. Sadly, Jim lost his life in an aeroplane crash in 1973, aged only 30. A talented man taken so young
His name is pronounced “Crow-chee”. Love Jim! Operator, Time In A Bottle
Jim Croce is a legend. He has so many really great songs.
"I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song" and " I got a name " are both great Croce songs.
I love his song Time in a Bottle
Once you learn it, you always find yourself singing along. I've been doing that since I was a kid.
"Roller Derby Queen" is another fun little story he told from the same album as this song. He wrote songs about people he knew, and worked with during his short life.
Jim got a lot of really great music, it's all worth listening to,,,,my favorite, "HEY OPERATER "" EXCELLENT SONG.
The late great JIM CROCE, man loved to listen to him all the time. What a great classic, by JIM CROCE. The man could rock baby. Man the music of the 70's, rocked brother. Still listen today only to the 70's classics on my stereo, greatest music ever. Groovy man.
Time In A Bottle, and I'll Have to Say I Love You In A Song are two of my favorites from Jim Croce
Jim Croce was very talented and it’s a shame we lost him so young
He is so good and amazing at story telling through music. I adore his music and grew up with him. Still have my uncles song book he gave me of Jim Croce and recommend so many. Don’t mess around with Jim and Operator are great ones.
This was when "Bad" started to mean tough and good. A decade later, Michael Jackson made an album called "Bad."
You should do Jim Croce's "Roller Derby Queen." Great song and almost nobody has reacted to it.
This is a great song by an incredible artist! RIPPP, Mr. Croce'!
In the same vein is "You don't mess around with Jim". That should be your next Jim Croce song.
🙂
Left us too soon😭he was so good 🔥
I grew up hearing him. My dad loved Jim Croce, Diana Ross, Swing, Jazz, Blues, folk...he died the year before I was born. That means I heard him on our 8 track tapes.
I remember my Mom playing this album on repeat when I was a child. Jumping around the living room dancing around!
To remember Jim croce as a young Kid in 1974. He was all over the radio that year and has been a staple in 1970s, American music.
Jim Croce is from my hometown -- Philadelphia! Been a fan of him since the 70s - shame he passed away so young
I'm partial to Time in a Bottle and Operator but all the songs mentioned are great and definitely worth a listen.
So many great tunes and so much talent taken so soon. This performance is from June of 1973 less than three months later in the beginning of September Jim and five others including Maury Muehleisen, the guy accompanying him here with the long blonde hair, perished in a small plane crash as they traveled from one concert on their way to another in Texas.
Check out “Time in a Bottle”.
"Photographs and Memories", my favorite Jim Croce song...and an unheralded gem.
I remember getting acquainted with Jim Croce’s songs early. Pop worked at a garage that was always playing the 60s and 70s AM Gold type classics. Forgot about Jim during my teenage years and early 20s, but then got reintroduced. Listening as an adult, he was one of the best lyricists of his generation.
Jim Croce was a master songwriter/lyricist. He was great at telling a story and painting a picture with words. He had so many great songs and hits. You should try songs such as Rapid Roy, Workin' at the Carwash Blues or You Don't Mess Around With Jim, if you want to hear more songs like this one. But I also suggest his more serious songs such as I Got A Name, Operator, I'll have to say I love You In A Song or Photographs and Memories. There are so many more to choose from but these would be a good start.
smack, smack...he got it comin' to him! Jim Croce is a master story teller :) Jim Cro-chee
Great memories from when I was little, my dad driving with the AM radio playing Jim Croce!
Being from Philadelphia myself, I love that he’s a Philly guy. Also one of the most underrated story tellers in our time.
This song is timeless! I remember listening too it when I was a kid and it's awesome to this day.
Jim Croce was the best storyteller. He was so vivid with his words that you could visualize what he was saying. He also loved the crowd with his big smile. So sad when he died.
Grew up listening to this song and he's on my play list today. Timeless music.
@Asia and BJ- Please do more Jim Croce. He was a genius. One less set of footsteps, I have to say I love you in a song, New York's not my home, Operator. All these are great songs of his to react to.
Man RIP Jim. The guy was only 30 when he passed away. Beautiful person and what a beautiful voice this man had. Thx guys for this.
Yep I'm on the South side of Chicago
Operator and Don't Mess Around With Jim are two of my favorites. He has a lot of great songs.
He just had “IT” ya know. THX’s Asia & BJ loved video & ♥️ y’all
RIP Jim Croce 🙏
Another wonderful Philly singer!
My dad used to love this song. The line about meaner than a junkyard dog was one of his favorite lines. One of those cool memories of childhood. Thanks for doing this song, been a while since I heard it.
Asia "shoooooot"! He got what was coming to him! LOL....girl, LOVE IT! I am so glad to see you guys enjoying music from my youth. YOU GUYS ROCK!
I love Jim Croce! Glad you two had a good time! Good energy in this clip! peace
Another classic artist taken from us way too soon...killed in plane crash at 30...RIP
My parents loved to dance and this was one of their favorite songs to dance to; great memories!☮️➕💟
Jim Croce was a gift to all of us. Great stuff!
He really picks up the tempo with "Speedball Tucker". A tune about a truck driver that pops amphetamines to make his "West Coast turnaround". Same sound, just faster, and this is where you will find that he really is an amazing vocalist. It would be quite the dare to successfully Karaoke that tune.
Jim was a brilliant writer. He wrote so many great songs. He wrote some really funny songs, and he wrote some of the most beautiful love songs ever. The story is when Jim was in the Army, he was friends with a guy who as a civilian had a reputation as a tough guy. Jim wrote this song as a shout out to his friend. For a similar kind of story check out Jim's song "You don't mess around with Jim". You can't go wrong with any of Jim's stuff. He and his music partner Maury (the guitar player) sadly died in a plane crash. You should also listen to his songs like Operator, Lover's Cross, Time in a Bottle and I got a name.
Try You Don't Mess Around With Jim, Operator, Roller Derby Queen, Speedball Tucker, The Ball Of Kerrymuir. All of these Croce songs are great!
❤🙏🏽Jim's, voice🙏🏽❤......
everyone should remember, there is no question about the lyrics... his diction is perfect!!
His name is Jim Croce (Gem Crow-Chee) lol and this is one of My fave songs from him, I love singing it at Karaoke
I have loved this for 45 years! Never gets old.
Great reaction. My favorite song from him is called Don't Mess Around With Jim. Love it.
i have a name. makes me cry every time. there was a documentary about his career and short life....love jim my other fav is dont mess with Jim.
Jim Croce is a master of story telling .
Operator” is one of my Favorites please do this song of his next thanks 🙏
Rapid Roy , time in a bottle, I got a Name , i’ll have to say I love you in a song, you don’t mess around with Jim
There all timeless as he was taken in his prime at only 30 years old.
You should definitely do more Jim Croce. He had a very short career but every single song he did was fantastic.
Croce was such an amazing talent lost soo soon. RIP Please do Roller Derby Queen
Jim Croce is GREAT. Worth a deep dive. - On the same theme "Benny The Bouncer" by ELP. Fantastic Ragtime saloon type piano and the drummer using brushes instead of sticks.
... Jim Croce ( Crow-chee ) I miss that man ... So, many great songs ... You never pull on Superman's cape ...
As this song went to number 1 Jim and his guitarist in this video died in a plane crash. So sad.
Jim Croce, "Don't Mess Around With Jim." ✌️
'Time in a Bottle' is a must to listen to. Great reaction as always.
one of my fav songs as a kid....I loved it then and love it now...
Jim Croce was a Supernova. He shined so bright, but for only a brief time... He was just reaching the heights of fame when he died in a plane crash. (He spent years playing in clubs and small venues honing his craft. The birth of his son triggered a determination to make some serious money. He put all his angst and storytelling into a series of hit songs.)
This is the first song I remember hearing in my life, I was about 4 years old.
So many good songs as other have mentioned- Operator, Time in a Bottle, You Don’t Mess Around with Jim, I Got a Name, I’ll Have to Say I Love You in a Song.
Oh- and his name is pronounced “crow-chee”
One of our best and favorite storey tellers in song.
Anything by Jim Croce I will watch, and way more than once. His greatest hits is something amazing. This reaction just made a bad day better. Thanks
Jim Croce (crow-chee), won me over with Time in A Bottle and then I heard this. My mother would let me say damn, so it became my favorite as a kid! LOL
Don't think anyone had a more beaming smile than Jim Croce ..he always looked so happy when performing ..."time in a bottle" buy him is beautiful X 😊
A 70s folk singer was a great story teller, taken from us too soon killed in a plane crash at 30 yrs old. RIP Jim
Back in the 80's I spent an hour in Croche's a bar in San Diego talking with Jim's wife. Best time ever.
Loved his music. Always sad about how he died at 30 in a plane crash. Time in a Bottle is my favorite of his. II think he wrote it for his son. The guy singing with him died in the plane crash too.
Such a rabbit hole to go down. Amazing catalogue of music from a great story teller.
Probably Jim's best known song, but he had so many other hits! What a great talent!
Anything with Jim Croce is so good.
Everytime I hear this song I also think of Louie Louie by the Stories!!!!
Very sad when he died. His wife opened up a supper club called Croce's in San Diego. Local music and great food. Pics of Jim everywhere. Think it might still be there. 40 -50 yrs going.
Unless I'm mistaken Leroy was a dude that served with Jim. So much of his music was autobiographical. He made great music just by singing about things he saw while working odd jobs like truck driving. Lots of great songs about his trucking days.
All of his songs were stories and he was sharing them with the world.
One of my favorite singer song writers.
I absolutely love this song
Catchy with a good story and feel, like it
His name is pronounced CROW-CHEE. Love his voice and songs. Thanks much for reacting to this song.
