R.I.P. to Jim Croce (1943-1973) and his awesome guitar collaborator Maury Muehleisen (1949-1973) who tragically died that day.
I was a little girl, playing in the garage while my dad worked on the car, radio playing. They announced Jim's passing. It was the first time I ever saw my dad cry 😢RIP JIM🌹💃
My senior year in high school, the next day hundreds of kids were upset over the news of Croce death, some of the boys and girls were in tears, saying his songs meant so much, funny or serious, really touched a nerve or the heart. Kids of all backgrounds too. I now reflect how kids in 1959 must have felt the same way when Buddy Holly's plane crashed.
@@thomastimlin1724 yes, it was the same when they buried Elvis. When I got on the school bus the next day EVERYONE was crying, even the driver.☮️
“I’ve Got a Name” is lovely. “Don’t mess Around with Jim”. Is fun and fast-paced
yes, writing phone numbers on matchbooks was very common. keep in mind-this is LONG before the age of cell phones. and pay phones cost a dime (and you can keep the dime)
Croce was one of the most talented voices ever! This is one of my favorite songs by him.
If I remember correctly, this song is based on an incident from when Croce was in the National Guard. One of his fellow soldiers got a “Dear John” letter from his girlfriend (perhaps fiancé), breaking it off and telling him that she is now with his best friend. In the song he thinks wants to let them that he’s fine and he’s over it. But during the interaction with the operator he realizes that its not something he wants to do; the “something in my eyes, you know it happens every time I think about the love that I thought would save me” tells us that he’s still hurting, no matter what he tries to tell himself. I’ve always loved Jim Croce and his storytelling.
Another anthem from Jim is "I've Got A Name." If you want a little more rocking vibe, go for "Don't Mess Around with Jim" or "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown." A gentle soul, gone too soon.
Then for fun you have "Workin in the Carwash Blues" R.I.P. way too soon
"I've Got A Name" is a great song but Jim did NOT write that song. It was written by Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox, who talked Jim into doing the song, were already basking in the enormous sales of Roberta Flack’s version of their Killing Me Softly.
Yesto the live performance!!! Watching Jim and Maury play is very cool, they just blended and play together so well like a great unit. RIP to Jim and Maury
I was almost 7 when he died and I remember where I was when I found out. My sister is 7 years older than me & she told me-- we just hugged each other, crying. He made such an impact, even to kids. I always feel lucky I grew up in that era.
Your video has GREAT SOUND! So thank you. I am 72 years old and so many of my close friends are gone now... we ROCKED it back in the day. It was Viet Nam Dude, my High School friends went there, we were just kids. Just kids.
You aren’t stupid! You are charming and humble!
My favorite Croce song. The words fly by so fast you don't always pick up on the meaning right away. Yes, watch the live performance, it's good.
From what I've seen, this song was inspired when he was in the military and a lot of guys would call their girlfriends from basic training and got broken up with over the phone! Crazy! He died a few months before I was born, but his impact on me is very real!
Back in the day, hotels and motels would provide their customers complimentary matches and disposable ink pens, which usually had the name, address, and phone number of the establishment on the matchbook cover, and on the plastic outer cover of the pen itself.
Lovers who wanted to keep in touch would write names and phone numbers on the inside of the matchbook cover. It would thus be concealed from others close to that individual.
“You can keep the dime” always gets me.
🌸 we lost him way too soon.💔
Definitely watch the live performance, which shows you not only the purity of Jim's singing but also the vital role played by Maury Muehleisen, whose background vocals and intricate guitar picking elevate the music. The live performance features only the those two men singing and playing guitar so you can really appreciate the beauty of their talent. Until he partnered with Maury, Jim struggled to get recorded and played mainly at bars; Maury elevated the music and their performances, and you can see that when they play live.
This has been a great song over the years. You should also check out the video where he is on stage playing guitar with another guitarist doing this song. Watching him playing this song live kicks it to another level.
My favorite of his is Alabama Rain. It's not as well known but it's beautiful.
A lot of his beautiful songs have been mentioned here. But I always liked his fun sounds too.
Big Bad Leroy Brown
Car Wash Blues
Don't Mess Around With Jim
Roller Derby Queen
Try them all. He never made a bad one.
Yes we did write phone numbers on matchbooks.
The tempo of this song might be faster than the first song you heard, but it’s really a sad song. I went to college 1971-1975. I can remember the halls in the girls’ dorms just blaring with folk music….James Taylor, Jim Croce, Judy Collins, Carly Simon, Carole King….and of course some great rock, too. Good memories from a time of exceptional music.
another couple of great Croce songs=Lover's Cross and One Less Set of Footsteps.
Check out Roller Derby Queen; Workin' At The Car Wash Blues; Rapid Roy (That Stock Car Boy); You Don't Mess Around With Jim; Bad, Bad Leroy Brown. He was a master storyteller. He could make you feel all the emotions: nostalgia, loss, love, happiness (he wrote really funny character stories/songs like the ones I listed above.
Go three for three on Jim's most popular songs with different tones and play Workin'at the Car Wash Bluses.
Jim had some great tunes, 'Time in a bottle', 'Ya don't mess around with Jin' & 'Bad, bad Leroy Brown' to name a few. And his name is pronounced Crow- chee. This is one of my favs. Thanks for the memories.
Thank you for your reaction. I enjoy your channel. I have personal story about this song. Many memories and RIP Mr. Croce. 🙏🎤🎶🙏
Great stuff as far as writing things down, you found whatever you could gum wrapper, and if you didn’t have a pen, ask her if she had lipstick to write her number on a paper but by the time you get home, the number is all smudged in your pocket and you think you just lost the love of your life great reaction
YES! LIVE PERFORMANCE IS FIRE!!!!!
We've had a big head start on you with the pronunciation of his name. We had the radio to help. This song shows his guitar playing prowess as well as his friend and accompanist Maury Muehleisen. Such a loss. There's a large library of his work. Thank you.👍😎❤️
Hey man, you aren't stupid.
If I did what you do with Classical music or Opera, I would come off the exact same way. I didn't know anything about fine art until I spent several years painting (the walls) and hanging hundreds and hundreds of pieces of fine art.
You'll be a rock encyclopedia!
I have a hard time sounding out peoples names!!!! I was so happy in one of my first jobs when my caseload turned out to be all the Johnsons and Jones!! Had no problem there!!! lol
Mālo USO.love watching Your reaction.keep smiling Your beautiful face.’ ☝️🇺🇸☝️..🕊️❤️
The whole thing was that his x-friend Ray & the woman that Jim loved, are now together
His lyrics are so relatable. Great review.
"She's living in LA with my best old ex-friend Ray" Bastard.
Back then, people smoked everywhere so most businesses had matchbooks with their info on them, and gave them out for free. It's something that was free and everywhere with a blank space to jot down a name and number. There were no cell phones and most people didn't carry around paper and pen. There were also no phones that had memory on them until the 80s when you could store like 10 numbers in your house phone so you didn't have to dial important or frequently called numbers.
For today's world, imagine if we didn't have cell phones and still used pay phones and other land lines. We'd probably be writing down names and numbers on the backs of business cards since those are everywhere now. Since people don't smoke as much these days, the matchbooks became business cards in little stands at the front.
In an interview with Dick Cavetto, he says the correct pronunciation is Crow-chay.....
Them days with phone booth and yellow page are reminiscent memoria, beautiful though. You kids missed out to real wholesome inventions. ‘ENJOY IT.
Since you’re going down the Jim Croce rabbit hole I’m hoping you’ll react to one my favorite songs which is I GOT A NAME.
Can't be too stupid, with ur appreciation for 🎶but more impressive (to me bc my memory sucks) memory of which movie (even # with sequels) AND which scene u heard it ... that takes some brains and/or talent! 👏
Everything that follows the word "I" is powerful 😉
I love Jim Croce. He's even better in live performances because his personality adds to his performance. I'm posting some links here for you. In the first one, "Bad Bad, Leroy Brown" he starts out telling the story of who Leroy Brown was... LOL. It's great!

Drew, what you do and what you are are two very different things. Everyone here’s done stupid things-I certainly have. IMHO, mistakes are proof of trying and likewise “stupid things” are (well, can be) proof of effort. The question is do you learn from it? If not, then there’s a problem. But (pulling numbers out of my butt) if you need to try 100 times to get that one success-then you move forward to the next step-you can look at it in one of two ways. One hundred failures, or progress. I know which way I prefer…
Crutches are just evidence of that trying. Or living. You pick. 😁😇😛
Da song. Back in the day before butane lighters, when seemingly everybody smoked (I loath cigarettes and get sick from 2nd hand smoke so it’s a subject deep in years for me) when a lighter was either a precious metal flint and lighter fluid affair you could pocket and flick, and with good reliability get a small, serviceable flame. Enough to light a ciggy or a leaf if camping. Or it was matches. Books of matches were freely available at pretty much all eating/drinking establishments with the name & address info of the owner
Imprinted-they ranged from serviceable to quite fancy. And yes, as “freebies” one could always grab a few as the bill was paid (or when leaving in the swankier restaurants since you would have settled the bill at your table) and they were an easy and common way to pass a name, number or address.
As to the music, this IS a lovely song-but in terms of emotional punch and caressing the heartstrings I don’t think Time in a Bottle can be beat (certainly as far as Croce’s music is concerned). That said, taste is very individual and Right is what’s right for you. Being open to listening to new, unfamiliar things-trying them out as it were-is what is most important.
(One day, perhaps, you’ll let someone guide you to/through the music of the high baroque era-JS Bach, in particular. That’s Europe, 400 years ago. Sorry, no music videos.
😲 😂 If you like(d) what you heard, you would be better equipped to listen to the greats that followed-which ultimately lead to the classical component of modern popular music, including jazz and… well, really, all music. Consider: historically, what we call classical music today was either sacred (church) music or the popular music of the day-a combo of our broadway and pop-rock equivalent. We just call it classical today. Back then, if was… Music.)
You are NOT slow or stupid! EVERYONE does stupid things! I wish you a speedy recovery.❤❤
I Got A Name 👍
You are not stupid because of your pronunciation of Croce (I did the same back in the day). That was just constructive information. If you have other reasons to feel that way then that is another conversation. I seriously doubt you are stupid. You seem very coherent/informed on your reactions. You might have made some bad decisions (haven't most people), but that doesn't mean you are stupid. Peace, Love!!
My man, whatever mistakes you've made, somebody who can talk meaningfully about sample sizes is not stupid. Keep up the good work.
Please react to Chris Isaaks Wicked Games it’s such a great song but you have to watch the original video to it, so so great!!!
I can listen to that song a million times. My son was born way back then and he really loves the 80s music. Is it "folk" music. It is poetic, you are right.
Your audio is slightly distorted..and thank you for this review
Not sure you got the meaning of the song. No, you are not stupid, maybe a little ignorant, but you are learning! Jim had some great storytelling songs. React to his more upbeat hits "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" & "You Don't Mess Around With Jim" Thanks.
Any man who says he is "slow and stupid," is neither, or he wouldn't know he was slow and stupid, lol. 😂It's really that he did NOT live in the era, and actually hear the radio DJ first pronounce the Artist's name correctly several times over the air and n learn how to pronounce it right from that guy.
Hey, we all do stupid things. Some of them have proper names.
*rimshot*
Hey don't worry about it, names are a funny thing, they aren't always pronounced the way they look.
Don't be too hard on yourself, you're not stupid. Back in the 70's we got the correct pronunciation for the artist or the band from the DJ's on the radio. You don't have this advantage and some commentor's are not taking this into consideration.
You wrote down the number on anything you had handy and you hoped you had a pen or something to write it with
there's a difference between stupid and uninformed. you can't fix stupid but you can become informed. been watching your channel for a while, and i don't think you're stupid at all.
