I'm a youngster here... Jim Croce had been dead for over 10 years before I was born. However, I certainly enjoy his music. When I was a kid my dad listened almost exclusively to a local oldies station and I ,as a result, developed an appreciation for music of the era.

I heard him sing at the University of Portland shortly before he died. Thanks for bringing him to mind again.

Listen to him? We still do.....

I still listen to his music. Some music never dies.

I had You Don't Mess Around With Jim, Life and Times, and I Got A Name albums, wore them out... bought cassettes...wore them out. Bought the 50th Anniversary Collection CD set and ripped it so I don't wear out the CDs!

Rapid Roy, that stock car boy
He's the best driver in the land
He say that he learned to race a stock car
By runnin' 'shine outta Alabam'

His rhymes were great!

He was one of my favorite. I had at least one or two 8-tracks back in the day. Later, I had a cassette of his greatest hits but can't find it. He was a true story teller. You tube has alot, if not all, of his stuff.

I did too

I did back in the day. Still like his songs on Classic radio stations. He was great!

But I don't hear him on any classic stations anymore. Their playlists are only about 30 songs long and you get to hear 'Hotel California" several times a day. I tell you, the classic stations around here just plain stink.

Operator, would you help me place this call?

I love telephone songs. ELO 'Telephone Line', Dr Hook 'Sylvia's Mother' (one of the saddest songs ever written)

Very much remember and very much enjoy listening to Jim Croce. In my opinion he was one of the finest song writers and performers of that era.

My sister was at his last concert. Heard about the plane crash on the car radio going home.

Jim died in a plane crash sadly way to young. There was another song writer/singer who was very popular during that same time frame that killed in a car crash but I can't remember who that was? I remembered, it was Harry Chapin.

Ihave every album I could find, albeit on CD. Even the ones where he spends a lot of time talking about his songs and how some of them came agout. Got to vote for Time In A Bottle as my all time favorite, but then I don't know of a song of his I don't like!!!

If you have a chance look up Jim Croce reciting Kipling's "Gunga Din".....simply amazing. Croce was way before my time but thankfully the web has many positive aspects and finding this piece is one of them.

Cheers,

Yes, Harry Chapin came to mind for me, too...another storyteller gone too soon. Jim Croce was definitely a regular in the 8-track back when.

 

[Hawkswill]

I'm setting here listening to his Photographs and Memories- His Greatest Hits album and just got to wondering. Great songs!

LOVED CROCE. My favorite album of his also. Terrible how so many of the singers I came to love back then ALL died in plane crashes! Got to be where I was afraid to like any! Yep, Croce was one of a kind. KEITH
