This world really misses, genuine,non fake people,that can actually sing,without a computer.
We all miss Jim
Let me list all the people that fit that description.
1. Jim
2. Jim
3. Jim
Do you genuinely believe all music that has ever been created was with a computer with auto tune and a electric drum pad like Jim Croce is the only one that's ever done it
He was excellent 👍😊
Hear, Hear, Squire ...
@@HaloRat-3 i think elvis also fits this
Still listening at 74 years old.
Listening at 19 sir. Him and John Prine can tie a tune to story like no other! Much love!
63.. still listening
Me too at 67❤❤❤
74. & i listen to all good music including artists like Amy Winehouse. Age has nothing to do with being cool.
Don't ever stop buddy
“I got out of college in 1965 totally prepared for life in the 12th century” Amazing quote right there
It’s sad how many won’t even get the line. Jim was funny and talented.
Got a sense of humor similar to Frank Zappa
@@peterrandazzo9485 looks too
so he telling us he wasnt prepared ?
@@bulldawgsgaming887 yeah basically lol
50 years ago tonight, Jim Croce, along with his longtime guitarist and studio partner Maury Muehleisen (shown with him here in the video) would play a ten song set at the Prather Coliseum at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana.
An hour after the concert, they and four others would board a small Beechcraft plane at the Natchitoches airport bound for Sherman, Texas. It would barely clear the runway before clipping a pecan tree and crashing, killing all on board. Jim was 30 years old. Maury was 24.
Days after the accident, Jim’s wife Ingrid would receive a letter in the mail from him, talking about feeling tired of the grind of the road, contemplating quitting the music business and wanting to head home to be with her and son A.J and be a family man. In it, he concluded,
_“Give a kiss to my little man and tell him Daddy loves him. Remember, it’s the first sixty years that count and I’ve got 30 to go.”_
We’ll obviously never know what might have been, but in a short time Jim created a musical legacy that is still cherished to this day.
Keeping resting peacefully Jim and Maury and take pride in knowing humanity is still loving your music a half century after you parted this world.
Grazie 10 mattina Italia
😢😢
Thanks for laying it all out so objectively - so I'd cry all over again. Damit.
Thank you for this information. I did not know this is what happened to them.
He was a special man and a unique talent likes we haven’t seen since. What a ridiculous senseless death. I hate that so many died in prime.
My name is Silky Slim and I'm a blues bass player and singer from Chicago and Leroy Brown was a good friend of mine,.. and hung out at the Blues clubs on the northside with us and sang sometimes with. Eddie Clearwater ,..and we always talked about this Jim Croce song (Rest in Peace to Leroy)...he died of cancer,..he was sick and disappeared for a while..and came back to the club one night before he died to say goodbye to everyone...we miss you Leroy !!!
I am calling B.s. on that
When was that?
Checked out your channel and your original stuff is awesome, thank you for sharing
What did he think of it??
My uncle used to hang at those clubs right up until 4-5 yrs ago when he passed. He sure loved the music and camaraderie there. Apparently he liked the tequila as well lol....RIP Uncle Mark
I'm 65 yo and Jim Croce left this earth when I was 16. I still get emotional whenever I watch these videos. What a treasure this man was. There will never be another one like him because that's the way it was meant to be.
65 also and still love this and the MAN. ALWAYS
I was 12when mr.jim died I'm 63 I too still tear up thinking about him ..gosh I love him and his music....loved the fact he was a Philly man too
67-17 yrs old. Same. I remember we thought he was like a version of James Taylor on steroids. 30 yrs old 5 albums 4 million in sales. Yes he would have become a household name. He was brilliant & funny & kind.
I was born after this Golden Age of music (in '78), but having learned more about these amazing artists and how they left us way too soon, I find myself feeling the same kinds of emotion you and others here describe.
There is a TH-cam Creator going by Professor of Rock - on the daily he releases videos profiling songs and artists, and I don't know if he's covered Jim Croce, but I think that if the genre suits his format (I think it does), he'd be well served to consider a few videos on Jim and his amazing music.
To the runners of this official channel, thank you for sharing this intimate look at this amazing singer-songwriter, one of my favorites since youth! His son, A.J., is now 50 and also a singer-songwriter - he is ALSO amazing and sounds just like his father in many respects! (His single cover of I Got A Name - WOWWWWW.)
No autotune. Just a guy with an acoustic guitar, a voice, and the ability to bring what he imagined to life, its amazing. I was born in 72' and still never forget what he left us with.
One or two guitars thats it .... Let that sink in ...
Me and my kids 2yo and up listening in 2024. Who’s with us?
My kids and grandkids.. My son plays it for us❤❤
2024
Up all night just to hear the best music ever.
Me too. Been a crazy day. Needed some fun tunes to listen to
I'm listening 😊
All these people who were in there 20's during that time. Have some interesting way of how things were.
Wow, just wow
Such beautiful voice , a beautiful song
From a beautiful man, his vocals , the lyrics everything , this is masterpiece
Elvis Presley would forever be one of my all time favorite, what do you admire about Presley ?
Still listening in 2024 i grew up with this
My heart breaks every time i listen to Jim, Time in a bottle and think what could have been if his life was not taken so early. All of my favorites were taken far too young, Jim Croce, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens. I love them all but something so special about Croce. RIP to all the amazing lives taken too soon.
Absolutely!! Let's not forget some of our roots and those who although experts at their craft were taken from us at an early age. ( Robert Johnson, James Marshall Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughn..
Well said
Couldn't have said it better Nicholas!
I agree.
So many phenomenal talents taken too soon: Croce, Ronnie Van Zant, John Denver, Karen Carpenter etc. all these artists colored my life with so much beauty. What a blessing to have their recordings and videos so we can continue to immerse ourselves in their talent. Rip to you all.
One of the greatest musicians that walked among us. Sad that there hasn't been another one like him. But then again, he is Jim Croce!
He's kinda forgotten, but a very very good musician 👌 💯
His musicianship and guitar capability were just plain fine - appropriate even. His voice and his lyrics are what've turned Mr. Jim Croce into an absolute legend. A historically/socially important figure who'll (hopefully) always be remembered with smiles and laughs....
Among us
Among us!
Love the back story of Leroy brown.
That's what I loved about Jim - a true artist with a true artist's soul.
He didn't pass judgement on any of the subjects of his songs, he just painted a musical portrait of them.
So True
Right On!
He lost his precious life on the Long Island express way in New York city back in 1970s.
@@MilwaukeeDave-ji6mf o oi esyz
I heard ioyyy I heard it was a plane crash are you staying in plane crash in a different way
@@MilwaukeeDave-ji6mf I heard it was in the plane crash are you the same plane crash in a different way do I Ferguson also known as far yet son 1959
It’s me who hears his Songs in March 2024 . I have still his LPs
Before he had Success he made Blues- so cool 😎
Yes, we don‘t forget Maureen Muehleisen 🎸
Im 63 And i still listen to jim 2:48
How is he not in the rock n roll hall of fame?? These guys are amazing.
I think his early death making him out of sight out of mind type thing. The Hall of Fame should hang there head's in shame.
He is in the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Dont know why he would ever be inducted in RnR Hall of Fame. Aside from the fact that they chose tons of artists that has little to nothing to do with Rock or Rock n Roll.
Probably because he didn't play that much rock.
@@Versul1 you are correct although his guitar playing abilities alone make him more qualified than the list of rappers that made the RNR HOF lol
@@perkalov later research showed he was in songwriting Hall of Fame. But as a musician he should be somewhere to do why not in RnR. He wasn't country.
Just wow! No auto-tuner, no band keeping everything tight, just Jim playing guitar with excellent timing and singing at the same time. The way music should be! And the distinct look he had, like he knew something the rest of us didn't, with his roots tracing back to Sicily!
There are some artists who insist on singing and playing their instrument together when they record because they feel they give a better performance. Billy Joel is such an artist.
Real music, real talent..❤️❤️
People say this kind of stuff but how would the talent be reduced in the presence of a band? Completely senseless perspective no offense.
@@richman360 It was more in reference to the autotune, than anythng else, but when a singer can perform at this level without a band, it's usually because the talent is substantially higher than many of today's noise makers. Record yourself singing a'cappella sometime, then listen back. If you aren't on top of your game it'll make you cringe.
I loved his music from a young age then I got stationed in San Diego and oh wow me and my x went there a lot, it was then run by his ex.. he was a fantastic song writer and singer. My x and I don't love each other anymore.. every once in a while we talk and just laugh at those old days. I'm 60 if anyone wants to fact check me. Go ahead
Jesus. What an American musical legend. His music will live for a thousand years.
My brother LOVED this song. When he was about 4 yrs old he’d sing with the radio at the top of his lungs. He thought he was so big b/c he could say the word “damn” and not get into trouble.
Funny I did that with Stephen wolf
Same rule apply to rap?
Who is listening in 2024? I'll never not hear his songs in my head, especially this one, because it was.. educationally fun.
Me
I'm here, but I'm not sure where. So it could be fun.
I got a Jim Croce best hits compilation cassette when I was little and I’ve listened to it hundreds of times, this song was on it
I kinda just assumed people always listened to Jim Croce...
One of my Mom's faves ... listened to him growing up. Mom's been gone 24 years and I am still listening 😢
Heaven must have wanted him so bad cuz we had him only for a moment in his young career and he was gone.
A.J. said his dad's entire cool career was about 30 months.
Still listening in 2024😎
Wow, just wow
Such beautiful voice , a beautiful song
From a beautiful man, his vocals , the lyrics everything , this is masterpiece

I picked him up hitch hiking week before his end Leroy brown was on radio ,he said Yes that’s me cool conversationalist
I was 20 when he died. He was my girlfriend's favourite musician. We played all his albums all the time. Now, 50 years later, every time i think of that girl who was my first love, I play a jim Croce tune and bring back that wonderful, bittersweet time. The girl is gone but jim and maury just keep getting better with age.
You should try contacting her.
He sounds just like an album recording. Massive talent with no frills.
Love when you hear musicians like that
Jim was just starting his career, we can only imagine what great songs we missed out on. Those damn planes took alot of greats from us.
I've ALWAYS my whole life wanted to know about, Leroy Brown.
They don't make music like this anymore..
Thanks to whom ever is behind posting here to his TH-cam channel..
Much appreciated!!
🎸🤘 🎸
lol RIght?? Heard this song a million times but never knew the the background story or that there was a real Leroy Brown...how cool that he essentially made an American folk song out of a friend
I wonder what ever happened to Leroy
@jimcroce who is singing with Jim?
1 Of A Kind
@@bryanphillips6666 Maurice T. "Maury" Muehleisen was an American musician, songwriter, and artist best known for his studio work, live accompaniment, and impact on the music of Jim Croce. He died in the same plane crash that killed Croce.
An interesting tidbit about Maury & Croce's musical involvement is that Croce was initially intended to be Maury's backup. The studio was actually in the process of producing Maury as a solo artist & Croce was to be his backup guitarist. Croce continued to write & record his own material while they worked together. Either Croce's songwriting abilities turned the focus to him or one of his released singles started burning up the airways. What I do know, is that it all happened VERY fast & almost to the point that it must have been hard for them to fully react & prepare for. That surely has to be the reason that most, if not all, of Croce's live performances only included him & Maury with no backup band.
RIP Jim Croce & Maury Muehleisen. Tragically gone WAY too soon!!!!!!! I would have loved to hear the songs & music you guys would have continued to create together!!!!!!!
Leroy was abad nutt❤🎉
He could have told a bad story about him, knowing his history, but instead, made him a legend
"Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone"
What a storyteller!
What a great lead into a song! I hope Leroy liked it as much as I do!
Hi Tammie
He was a little before my time but I am in love with his music, it always rings so true and he has a strong commanding voice.
Leroy just might be out there still putting himself back together there
😅@@feellucky271
RIP Maury Muehleisen who played a big part in Jim's return to the music industry in the early 70's. They made a pretty good duo.
I was wondering who the accompanist was - thank you!
He died in the same plane crash and originally Jim was going to be his back up singer ,but all of a sudden Jim's songs took off! But these 2 alone working together were brilliant and if they both weren't taken too soon I'm sure they would be up there along side the greatest singer songwriting teams of all times
Listening to Jim Croce in November 15th 2024, rest in peace jim Croce
I'm still listening in 2024 and so are others. Good music is good music and Jim Croce was great at it. Period!
Wow, just wow

I promised god I’d go back to church if he got my wife and son out alive during an emergency c-section. I haven’t been. This song reminded me of that empty promise. He did his part. I’m going to fulfill mine this Sunday.
❤. Rest In Peace 🕊️🕊️. Jim Croce❤
Very catchy beat
I grew up listening to this kind of music ❤❤❤
Y
🎉😢
2024 still going jimbo ... big love ❤
I was born in 88 and I'm still waiting for a Jim Croce one-of-a-kind
2024!!!
Many came and went but there will never be another Jim Croce. RIP.❤
seeing how Jim Croce had made big bad Leroy Brown came form and the song was cool to had sir and his own time too, sill like and love too sir think you for it Mr Jim Croce for it now, sir
Me too! ❤
Saddest part of greatest era for music was the number of artist dying from one thing to another.
Almost fifty years since Jim's passing. I was only 2 years old. What a darker world without him!
He deserves to be in the Rock -n- Roll Hall of Fame!
I wouldn’t be born for many many years after he passed away , but it’s so sad to me. Man is just incredible. Those planes ended so many great talents way too young .
I got to hang out with him about a year before he was gone
He was a very kind man
He never knew his music would be the iconic history it is. Simple Guitar and vocals yet somehow touch the souls of every one who heard them. What a gift, to bad it didn't last forever! Well it does, right here! Love ya Jim... What a talent.
My god this guy was just the epitome of a cool cat. I guess it’s true that only the good die young. We’ll always have your amazing music Jim….
Reminds me of my Uncle Larry a bad dude back in his day
I still listen
Yes I am 65 yrs young! Bronx NYC. 2024❤
Yeeeah
Tweeted with his wife a few years ago, she's an angel 😇 💖 10-23
This was amazing. I'd not heard Jim tell this story before. Thank you for putting this up on TH-cam!
This guy was a genius! .... M
I am 38 🎉 and I still listen to this song have my whole life
I think I remember crying when I heard about his death. My wife is an incredible artist, and did a charcoal sketch of Jim and gave it to me for Christmas that year. We still have that sketch. Makes me smile every time I look at it. When I think about all the really good singer songwriters of my youth like Jim Croce, Steve Goodman and others, it makes me feel blessed to have grown up listening to really superb music and lyrics.
Cool...
Holy shit my mother also did a charcoal sketch when I was a young boy!!!!!!
I write because I don't wanna do anything else. Fuck selling out... pardon me. If you don't mind, I'd like to hear some of your favorite songs from the writers mentioned, or not mentioned. Just a few that instantly come to you, I will thank you.
And the lead singer of bread although he didn't tragically die at an early age. Jim Croce was a special singer-songwriter. I remember all of his songs and Time in a Bottle was a very special one. His balance were something else by that I mean superb. But time in a bottle was a fantastic love song.
Jim Croce was a great & masterful storyteller. His music will stand the test of time. 🕊️Rest In Peace Mr. Croce 🕊️
So natural and true, love it
Wow, just wow
Such beautiful voice , a beautiful song

Happy Heavenly 82nd Birthday Jim Croce January 10 1943 - September 20 1973
I still listen to this in2024
Jim Croce's voice is so clear and pure. God love him in heaven
Hey from Alaska 🇺🇸 2024
Hey from Wa..stay cool!
Jim Croce was a fantastic singer. But Jim was one of the greatest songwriters of his time.
Was there ever a guy like Jim Croce?
1 of the greatest ever, a shame he doesn't get talked about, He has so many big hits, For Christ sake he sung Time in a Bottle and Leroy Brown
ahh time in a bottle I was just thinking of that song
You Don't Mess Around with Jim....
He was great, you dont mess around with Jim is 1 of my favorite songs, Leroy Brown is my favorite tho
Jims son is making a name for himself, and is finally playing some of his dads music and sounding great!
I remember buying a Crag 8 track tape player and a few 8 track tapes. And Jim was One of them.
Been a fan from day one
Music that's all heart
@Greg Normal REPORTED FREAK!
@Greg Normal yes
Never knew he was w real person definitely my kind of people a real American freedom in his heart anyone who try to take it be damned
Time in a bottle is my And my wife's song . He is the man
My Dad used to crank this in the car on road trips when I was a kid. Great memories.
My favorite song as a 5 year old. My brother and I would sing right along.
I listened to Jim Croce from a very early age and have loved his music ever since. What a talent lost so young. His storytelling and musicality are second to none.
That Jim and Maury left us at such young ages is a crime. All the music that these men were gonna make. I can't comprehend how much we lost. Tragic.
He was killed 50 years ago tot day, 20th September 1973. Such a sad loss of a great talent, a man who had a life to live and so many songs to share.
Man this kind of authenticity is almost wholly lacking in today's society. Feels incredibly good to absorb some of it here.
Jim was well on his way to becoming a megastar with staying power. In terms of hits he would be up there with Springsteen, had he lived. In his too-short career I'm glad he gave us all some amazing songs that never age. I still listen to him regularly.
How dare you compare him with asshole Springsteen. Bruce isn't even in the same class as Jim Croce and Jim would definitely not charge his fans thousands of dollars for tickets. Springsteen doesn't have a heart in his music like Jim always did
So true.
Based
No autotune. TALENT.
Rest in peace 😢
Nearly 51 Years On Never Forgotten RIP Jim 😢
What a big, sad loss that this talented man was taken away so early. RIP
As much as I love this song I've never heard it like this before, or the actual story of Leroy Brown.
Who’s still listening to this in 2024
you, obviously
Me I am
Me, and lovin it
February 25, 2024. I'll be back.
Til infinity! Jim is so pure and will forever be a favourite
Isn't it crazy that anytime you here this song,
You know.
The plac is closing for the night.
Bar is shutting down, concert is over, movie is done, lights are getting brighter.
Go HOME!
Such a great song though!
I'm loud and proud and still dancing❤
That was awesome of him telling the story, of bad, BAD LEROY BROWN!! And taking away from us, way to young!!
I loved this incredible man's music! (Still do).
I'll never forget that I was in high school and was in the cafeteria on lunch break. Someone had a transistor radio (remember those?) turned on when the news broke about the plane crash and Jim Croce's death. There was a big reaction from those also in hearing range of the radio and I was one of them. My heart broke in what felt like a million pieces. This wonderful man was gone. And he was just getting started on that phase of his music career. I had a couple of his 45s, Bad, Bad Leroy Brown and I Got a Name.
Remember when the record company issued his greatest hits album. I rushed and buy me a copy and when I saw the photo of Jim's son with a deeply sad look on his face
He was holding his father's cowboy hat. Time in a Bottle was another of his songs l loved.
Jim Croce had a face and voice I've never forgotten. Thank you, God for sharing him with us even for a short time.
Time in a bottle was written for his son, he wrote it the night his wife told him she was pregnant.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!
So sad his passing so young. He was brilliant way underrated! Few have heard of him in Europe or the UK Especially under 45s
'Stranger Things' introduced me to him.
This very song was on in the car during holidays. My parents (evidently) liked this song to drive with and while I'm a young (21) Dutchman, I still love this song.
THANKS ENJOYED THAT OLDIE!
Absolutely a legend
I remember listening to his albums looking at the covers. I love his music. Reminds me of my youth. When life was care free. When we heard every word they sang and it always sounded new. Thank you Jim. My Dad knew every word of your songs. Now he is up there with you singing along.
Loved Jim's music. An amazing personality and singer.
Never really new my Grandpa, but I fell in love with Jim Croce on my own. Later my mom told me he was one of Papa Macs favorites!
One of the true kings of music storytelling
God came to visit for a little bit and be a divine guitar player and songwriter called Jim.
First 45 rpm record I ever bought on my own. I still have it.
Later as a Christmas gift I got Stevie Wonders Higher ground on 45. Another great one. Still have that also. Then I switched and just bought LP's . More music for your money.
There’s singers that don’t sound this good in a recording studio..Incredible live performance 🎭
