Remember Jim Croce
On September 20, 1973, the day that his ABC single "I Got a Name" was released, Croce, Muehleisen, and four others were killed in the crash of a chartered Beechcraft E18S upon takeoff from the Natchitoches Regional Airport in Natchitoches, Louisiana.[8] Croce had just completed a concert at Northwestern State University's Prather Coliseum in Natchitoches and was flying to Sherman, Texas, for a concert at Austin College, when the plane crashed about an hour after the end of the concert.
I have a CD and DVD from Jim Croce and an old cassette tape someplace. Great memories of some great music and the times we had while listening to them.
Thanks Jim.

One thing my dad instilled in me was a love of Jim Croce's music. Croce's greatest hits was one of the first CD's that I owned, and I used to play "Roller Derby Queen" when I still played music out in bars, locally.
That disc would be on my list of "Must own" albums... if I ever created such a list.0 -
Thanks for remembering!
My appreciation of Jim Croce's music started with his 45 "Bad Bad Leroy Brown." Then for Christmas I got his greatest hits "Photographs and Memories" on 8-track. I have since purchased his entire catalog on CD, including his Final Tour and a couple of LIVE DVDs. A great and under appreciated artist...I mean he is NOT even in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! That is a serious omission!
Great, real music!0 -

As a kid, I wasn't certain of the word he used. I think I sang "Baddest man in the whole DOWN town" Or maybe DARN...0 -

Time in a Bottle. It still brings tears to my eyes. I cried all day the day he died.0

I used to have a cassette of Photographs and Memories. Later on, I bought a CD of Jim Croce's Greatest Hits. Can't find either of them now.0

He was before my time,but I remember as a kid, getting to pick which 8 track was going to get played in the car, and always picking him. Love him to this day. Sad he died so early.0

I've always loved Jim Croce's music. I keep wishing someone would get smart enough to induct him into R&R's Hall of Fame.0

I remember Jim Croce - what a great song writer! I think I had an 8-track tape of his! but then I did move on and I think I actually have a CD or 2.

I can't think of a single Jim Croce song that I do not love. I cannot remember a time when he wasn't being played on the radio. Happy memories of a great singer/songwriter.
I know Time in a Bottle is most people's favorite and for good reason. But I really love I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song. What better way to tell someone?0 -
I love the song "Time in a Bottle". My mom had the record and I would play it over and over.0

"Operator, oh could you help me place this call"
Love me some Jim Croce!0 -
There's a documentary on PBS about John Denver calling him "a song's best friend."
I always felt that way about Croce.0 -
I bought all his albums.....and I mean albums. I loved his music and was so sad when he was killed. He was a great balladier....gone far too soon!0
