When Jim Croce died, the principal in my high school announced it on the PA system and we had a minute of silence. Those were the times I remember. RIP Mr. Croce.
Every time I hear a Jim Croce song, especially this one, I remember the real grief most of us felt when we heard he died almost 50 years ago.
Croce's "I Have to Say I Love You in a Song" is how I sing my baby daughter to sleep at night. :-)

Guys, the best mustache award goes to Chuck Negron of 3 Dog Night.
Hands down, and that man could sing!!!!!
Skunk Baxter could give him a run for his money though.
@@fuzzylogicent That would be a close call
My vote is for Sam Elliot ...
@@SusanGordon-bf2cg Alex was only comparing singers/musicians with mustaches. But if Sam Elliot was a singer, he would be in the running
My mother got me a Jim Croce songbook/chord-book for my 16th birthday (in 1994) when I was learning to play guitar, and she wrote in the front cover "To Sarah - because I loved him too!" I had no idea that he had passed before I was born, and I was inconsolable for the rest of the day. I eventually learned those songs, though. I sang this one at a voice recital a year later, and dedicated it to my own dad. Jim Croce has always had a place in my heart. I'd love to be able to see AJ and his band play Jim's music someday!
Croce is one of those few artists that are embraced by everyone from every genre - he's folk, he's alternative, he's country, he's rock, older people like him, younger people... too bad he was lost so soon.
In 1973 in September I was in 11th grade in high school. I was sitting out front in my boyfriends road runner when I heard on the radio that Jim Croce was killed in an airplane accident.
This song will forever remind me of my father, who passed away almost 4 years ago
I’m 66 years old now
This was a great choice
Jim Croce was a great musical talent last too soon 😢😢😢
I was a freshman that year. I remember it and the profound sadness I felt.
Maury Mulhausen providing the excellent lead guitar work!
🎯 RIP Maury Muehleisen, he went down with Jim.
@@surlechapeau Yeah he was one talented guy for sure!
Amazing haunting backing vocals as well.
I don’t know of anyone who didn’t love Jim Croce when they first heard him. He could entertain you joyfully with the likes of "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" or "You Don’t Mess Around With Jim" and then put a vise grip on your soul with "Operator".
So true
In two more days on September 20, we will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the plane crash that killed Jim and everyone else on board. I was 11 years old when Jim died and already a fan. His death had a profound effect on me. Rare has been the month, if not week, since then over all this time that I've not heard a Jim Croce song. For something light hearted, I recommend you react to "Roller Derby Queen" or "Five Short Minutes". My God, where did 50 years go....
This one hurt.. in high school 1973 shortly after he died; and still to this very day. RIP Jim🌹
You can see Croce on Croce while on tour now. It’s Jim’s son and his band is fantastic. My brother in law plays with him and they are a fun show.
I saw Croce on Croce right before COVID shut it down and it was amazing. I liked it so much I bought tickets for my brother and his wife to see them in November when it comes to their town.
I cry when I hear this song especially when thinking about the day I heard Jim Croce died. He was so great at song writing. I was only 7 when he passed away and was just learning about death after losing a pet. I think about how he talked about life not passing him by. He definitely taught me that life on this earth is precious and fleeting. Live it to the full.
A true national treasure. I don’t know nobody that doesn’t dig Jim! He was the real deal. Salt of this American soil. A rambler, a dreamer, a poet, a blue collar man, a musician, an entertainer. Jim Croce forever.
This is one of my favorite Croce songs, right after "Operator". It was the 1st Croce single to be released after he died, and in that context, the line "moving ahead so life won't pass me by" hit me hard at the time. As far as I'm concerned, you've now heard all of Croce's best songs, but I'm sure you'll want to hear more at some point. "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" is the most popular of his remaining songs, but I prefer "One Less Set of Footsteps".
Lovers Cross is very good too.
I saw their show in Texas. It was great!
They haven't done Bad Bad Leroy Brown yet.
they're both good!
"If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud" is one of my favorite totally unknown lyrics of all time.
I never cease to be amazed by how thoroughly you imbed yourself in the music you listen to, and how much you remember, both musically and lyrically, when they’re done. These are the songs of my youth, and I am both impressed and touched by how sincerely you honor them. Thank you! 💕
He's got so many great songs, for such a tragically curtailed career; this is the one I learned once upon a time, '77-78. 😢❤❤❤😊
Time in a bottle, life passing him by....the tinge of melancholy and fear of not having enough time. And then it tragically came to pass. It always hits me. Its sad but beautiful. Be grateful for every day.
Imagine hearing this at 14 or 15, as many of us did... instant S-tier.
Jim Croce was "Incredible". Thanks guys...BTW Photographs & Memories cannot be missed.
Read that for my grandmothers eulogy
Beautiful.@@imagine1004
Why the ""?
Happy to see you two are reviewing the greats from the late 60s & 70s. Croce was an icon along with many others.
It was the first month of eighth grade. We're top dogs of K-8 school. Out of nowhere, we find out Jim Croce died. The next DAY, this song came out on the radio. It super emphasized the carpe diem vibe, fresh on the heels of the bad news.
It was 9th grade for me. Listening again just now brought chills and tears.
Jim Croce was a troubadour, something in his songs resonated with everyone. One of my favorites is “ Roller Derby Queen” a great dive bar song
I like Rapid Roy. Boy this takes me back.
Choosing this song today is timely as we're two days from the tragic day in 1973 when Jim Croce died on September 20th. This song was the first released from his fifth and final album also named I got a Name. It was released posthumously on December 1st 1973.
Jim Croce is a mood
This song helped get me through high school. It is my second favorite Croce song also but you guys haven't done my favorite yet. One less set of Footsteps.
We were so spoiled in that era... We knew it then, but 50 years later it is even more true today.
Jim Croce...one of my favorite artists...
This song is in a movie called The Last American Hero with Jeff Bridges. Excellent music for an excellent movie. I can see the main character's car driving past the pine trees as I listen to this.
It's also in "Django Unchained" & I must admit, I now picture the scene from that movie when I hear this song.
🎉 The violins were awesome. Always just lurking in the background and helping to create a fuller sound.
Good call
This song is amazing. The lyrics, the delivery, the musicianshipped rhythm? Please. This tune literally brings tears to my eyes regardless of whatever mood I'm in.
One of my favourite songs by Jim, a masterpiece - SSS tier!
This is my personal favorite by Jim Croce.
Mine too. Not a bad song from him, of course. But I love this one.
Best of Jim Croce. Every song is primo
I visited his grave today for the 50 and there were four other men standing around and talking and apparently the place where he used to live is an airbnb and one of the guys got to stay in it last night. He even has a denim jacket like Jim had with patches and everything. He even got Jim’s son and wife to sign it along with some other well known musicians.
Best bass solo I've heard in awhile. Good tune!
One of the songs that helped me through a very difficult time of my early adulthood. Beautiful tune.
Thoroughly enjoyed the strings as well! Operator is my favorite Croce song!
Love Jim Croce. Perfect mix tape/road trip track.
This song is all about the bass... it's phenomenal. When you get a chance watch a bass cover video of this song
"Workin at the Carwash BLUES" NEXT Croce song.
This brings me back to San Diego in the 70's. At the beach. Or maybe on the way back from the beach. Precious, hidden memories, unlocked by music.
If you want to get it into some really high art from him -- "Lover's Cross". Spectacular ballad.
Agree, it's one of my favorites of Jim's. ❤
I first heard this song on Django. Great fit. Also the first song I heard from him. One of my faves
Just a fine song and singer, he is much missed!!!
Love the acoustic guitars in this one. A buddy of mine back in college would called it "screaming acoustic guitar".
I love jim croce ❤
Great reaction guys. As a Jim Croce fan I am pleased that you recognize his talent and magic. It wasn't a huge hit, but I think you will love "Salon and Saloon." Talk about poetry...
The ending of Interstate Love Song by STP sounds SO much like the ending of this song.
Great song, great reaction. I definitely remember hearing on the news that Jim Croce had died, and then hearing on the radio, what seemed like the very next day, this new single from him. It was simultaneously sad and awesome and weird to be hearing new great music from someone who had just passed away.
LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!
It was fifty years ago tomorrow (September 20, 1973) that Jim died. This song hadn't been released yet at the time and quickly went to number one afterwards. Incidentally this was one of the few Croce songs that he didn't write.
Goosebumps.
One of my favourite Croce songs.
You have learned a lot in your years of listening to our music.
Pretty clinical breakdown of a really moving and heartfelt tune, boys. This song is S-tier for me.
I’ve got a name has been through my family from dad to me to son to grandsons. That’s s tier in my opinion.
Same. Generational! S!
I've got a name...I've got a song.....I've got a dream....rolling me down the highway...so life wont pass me by! Words to live by....sadly missed almost 50 years later....
Time in a Bottle and Operator are my favorite of his.
Jim, 'You don't mess around with Jim', and Harry, 'I guess the Lord must be in New York City'. Thanks guys, cheers ✌
He's got so many great songs for a life cut short. New York's not my home or Time in a bottle.
This song became a hit for Jim posthumously, after his fateful and fatal plane crash.
You guys have a long way to go when it comes to Jim Croce. Every one of these are A or better.
Rapid Roy (The Stock Car Boy)
Workin' At the Car Wash Blues
New York's Not My Home
Lover's Cross
These Dreams
Roller Derby Queen
Photographs And Memories
One Less Set of Footsteps
I’ll Have to Say I Love You In A Song
Good list. I would add, "Walkin' Back to Georgia."
Used wonderfully in the Tarantino film Django Unchained. One of his best soundtracks.
Agreed!
Gentlemen, if you were to give a reaction to Jim Croce's "Rapid Roy That Stock Car Boy" you will be smilin' the rest of the week. It's an acoustic rocker in praise of a back country dirt track racer in a '57 Chevrolet. Croce is a master story teller and this one is pure fun!
He tells a story! BTW, he played the guitar!
a great song that was more appreciated in its day as Jim died shortly after its release and like free bird with Lynard Skynard, it became a swan song for Jim
Jim died the day before it’s release.
I vividly remember when he passed away. I miss him.
The theater I volunteer for just announced a concert with Jim Croce’s son doing his dad’s songs. I’m beyond excited for that one!
Sublime vocal phrasing. So good wow. Love the guitar too
Guys, I’m a 61 year old man and I’ve been watching your channel for some time now. I really appreciate that you review the music that I grew up listening to. Brings back a lot of memories. Great job guys, keep up the good work. Oh btw, if you haven’t reacted to Aerosmith’s version of Train Kept a Rolling give it a listen, it’s a banger!
"Train Kept A Rollin'" is a great one but I would love to hear their reaction to "What It Takes"--my all-time favorite Aerosmith song!
50th anniversary of his tragic passing at age 30.....30!! Wow, how much beautiful music went with him. RIP Jim
YES YES YES to more nilsson. would kill for you to hit an album or if you want a song maybe "Good Old Desk" or idk "You're Breaking My Heart"
Yes yes yes to "You're Breaking My Heart"! 😂
I get a hitchhiking tale. It was so prevalent in the 60's and 70's, and some of my most memorable moments were from either hiking or picking up hitchhikers. So sad that it has gone by in time.
You should try One Less Set of Footsteps and Lover’s Cross if you want to hear amazing lyrics and performance. Try a live recording and watch Jim and his classically trained guitarist Maury Muehleisen perform these songs.
I love the song but "I Got a Name" wasn't written by Croce (written by Norman Gimbel) but Jim is a great songwriter! One song that he did do that it's my favorite is "Dreamin' Again." It's such a heartfelt song that get's me every time I hear it. The "I Got a Name" album was posthumously released after the plane crash that killed him and others including his guitarist Maury Muehleisen, I think often what other hits Jim would have if he didn't leave us too soon.
This is one of the greatest songs of all time, written and sung by a truly great performer. The lyrics are fantastic, the melody and orchestration are beautiful, and "I'm gonna ago there free" is absolutely spectacular. If I were ever on a show like The Voice, I would cover this masterpiece.
They can change their minds but they can't change me
My parents were very far apart on music. Jim Croce was one of the few artists they agreed on. I know every word to every Croce song
Guys, Croce is great. You gotta do something by Gilbert O'Sullivan next. Try his classic Alone Again Naturally.
GREAT driving song.
Usually in person, they were a 2 person act. His dependable talented friend on acoustic guitar (solo) was killed with him in the plane crash. He's hardly ever mentioned, but was always there. He also had a son, A.J. Croce who is a musician and recording artist. Around the age of four, he went blind due to horrific physical abuse from his mother's then-boyfriend. A.J. was hospitalized for half a year and was totally blind in both eyes for six years.At age three, Adrian James Croce suffered from a brain tumor which caused blindness. Several years later, partial sight inexplicably returned in one of his eyes.
Just what I needed today 🤗 Thanks guys ❤🙏
Just beautiful Jim. We miss you Brother.
I dont know if I just forget how much I love this(these) songs or if its hearing them again w/" friends" albeit virtually but it sounds so good.
Great song & still a melancholy feeling 50 years on.
I am proud to have graduated from the same university that Croce attended: Villanova University (near Philadelphia).
Chills in ‘73 and ‘23
Much respect & thanks for the JC love. Try Alabama Rain sometime, he’s sublime.
Roller Derby Queen
Had forgotten about this song for a hot minute. Thanks for the refresher. Another great song from Jim Croce
Great song!
As a long time follower, I’ve been waiting for you guys reaction for 2 years now. This is by far my favorite song of all time and the way you guys appreciate it really brings a tear of joy.
Just listen to that 70s guitar work. Ahhhhhhhhh...😊
Dude could write. A plus
Going forward, when we pay repescts to Croce we should not leave outt his partner Maury. They were a great duo
I’ll have to say I love you in a song. The next Jim Croce song you should hit
Nice, concise, heartfelt review of a nice, concise, heartfelt song.
For a couple of fun Novelty-type story songs, check "Rapid Roy (that stock car boy)" and "Roller Derby Queen" 😆
Unfortunately, I don't have any more suggestions for Jim Croce, You Guys have Hit all of my Favorite Jim Croce Songs already. LOL LOL
"S" Tier song from the era, guys. This was one of the quintessential tunes that define the 70s and headlined the soundtrack. Everybody knew every word and nobody 'didn't like' it. It was almost an anthem, of sorts, because everyone could relate to and feel the lyrics. Plus, as you acknowledged, the production was emmaculate. Disappointed that you couldn't hear all of that in it, but then you didn't live the era. "A" was not an insult, just a disappointment. Still love the way you guys always listen all the way through before making a comment and give a solid, analysis and opinion. Please give us as much of this kind of content as you can stomach ;-) We who heard these songs when they came out revel in watching you discover it. Great stuff.
