first time hearing Jim Croce - I've Got A Name (Reaction!!)

CROCE was such a thought-provoking artist....and, his music, to me, was so heartfelt. LOVED HIM! Wish he wouldn't have passed, so young. I loved his Time In A Bottle and Operator....and, his funny side: You Don't Mess Around With Jim and Bad, Bad Leroy Brown....it's a shame, though: would've LOVED to have seen what he came out with, had his career been longer.... Thanks for reacting to this one, Polo! HUGS!!

You Don’t Mess Around With Jim, Bad Bad Leroy Brown, Time in a Bottle, I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song, Operator. So many great songs by him.❤😊

Time In Bottle and Operator are two of my favorite songs by Jim Croce. Very melancholy. You’re right it was always about the music back then. You will love Harry Chapin and his classic song “Taxi” Harry was a genius songwriter.

Dan Folgelberg is another great story teller. That man had me crying about race horses!

Another great folk rock singer songwriter who we lost so young. This is the music I grew up with. Unique storyteller & ballad singer. He touches your soul. He had a lot of great hits in his short career. "Time In A Bottle", "Photographs & Memories", "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", "You Don't Mess Around With Jim", "Workin' At The Car Wash Blues," "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song", "Roller Derby Queen", "Rapid Roy", "Lover's Cross" etc.

This is a song my son will know.

If you love this, you will also love "Time in a Bottle." Gives you the same kind of "touch your heart" kind of feeling. You are so right. Back then it really was about pure talent.

You may want to check out Cat Stevens also. I grew with all of this great music and and always had incredible music to get me through some really horrific times in my life! And they continue to help.Father and Son was my favorite.

Such a raw talent, and gifted song writer. When you hear his live performances, you realize how little he needed studio effects for his music. Jim's the kind of guy who could sit down with just a guitar, and entertain for hours.

Jim is mellow in each song. 'Time in a Bottle'. 'Operator'.

I was a kid when Croce died. I remember it clearly because Bad, Bad Leroy Brown was one of my favorite songs. What a unique sound he had.

Time in a Bottle is the most incredible love song...

Operator. He was the ultimate storyteller. He used to watch people around him and make stories about them on the spot.

As an Italian family, we listened to Jim Croce since he's Italian too. I remember being a kid, in our nonni's kitchen, and my older cousin came in devastated. It was a hot summer day when Craig said 'Jim Croce died in a plane crash.' The silence fell through the house. We were in mourning.

Loved him! He died the day before this song was released. Only 30 years old and he was gone. He was an amazing talent!

Two lesser-known Jim Croce gems that are Must Listens that no one else will recommend...The Hard Way Everytime is Croce's most self confessional song and it's absolutely beautiful. Then...Walking Back to Georgia is a gorgeous tune about long lost love and heartbreak. Please consider them next, Thank You! Ps. Anyone can recommend his hits, that's easy. Just Google those. I am giving you two hidden gems that define Jim Croce in a deeper, more meaningful way and I hope you take me up on my two recommendations. Thank you!

Operator is my favorite of his. He must have had his heart broken to communicate the pain he shares in that one.

Jim epitomized the "Singer/Songwriter" era of the 70's. 👍🤙😎

Time in a bottle is my favorite Jim Croce song. It’s a must listen

Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, and John Denver are 3 folk singers we enjoy especially when traveling. Great stories set to music. John Denver is my favorite. I love, how he hits the high notes in “The Eagle and the Hawk” and “Looking For Space”. Thanks for being as cool as you are 😊
