Jim Croce was about to quit the music business and had written a letter to his wife saying so. The letter arrived after his death in a plane crash in 1973. He left behind a slew of hits and memorable songs. Some of my favorites are I'll Have to Say I Love You (in a Song), Operator, and New York's Not My Home.

The song was used for a TV movie "She Lives" in Fall 1973, before it was released. A college girl gets cancer and her boyfriend desperately tries to find a cure with help from a Doctor who has an experimental medicine. The boyfriend was played by Desi Arnez Jr, son of Desi Arnez and Lucille Ball of I Love Lucy sitcom fame, etc.. The Jim Croce died in a plane crash in late September 1973, and they released Time in a Bottle...it sold millions....tomorrow is my 66th birthday...my mother and father and my only sibling my brother who died in July 2020, all are gone.

Jim was such a prolific writer. He wrote some of the most beautiful songs of love and emotion, and also some of the funniest and rowdiest songs ever. He did what most great writers do. He wrote from his life experiences and based songs on people he knew. He met a guy when he was in the army who had been a big tough guy who had a reputation back in his old neighborhood. That prompted Jim to write Bad bad Leroy Brown. This song we just heard was written after his wife gave birth to their son. Many of his songs were love songs to his wife. He and his music partner Maury who was the guy playing so many of the fabulous guitar leads to Jim's rhythm guitar were killed in a plane crash. Although for his years as a recording artist (sadly not many years) everyone always pronounced his name like Crow-chee, but once when he appeared on the Dick Cavett show Dick asked him to pronounce it and he answered Crow-chay. Definitely worth a deep dive guys.

One of my favorite songs. Honestly, I was introduced to this song as a kid, in '74 I think, when it was featured on the Muppet Show. While I didn't really understand the meaning, I recognized the haunting beauty of this song. That it was inspired by his newborn son, shortly before Jim's death only makes it more so. Very glad you were able to experience it! As to the point about 'how could you not know ..." I absolutely LOVE the fact that songs I grew up with, and that my parents and grandparents loved are being given new life thanks to the Internet and reactors!!! I get to rediscover the magic that made them legends through all of you! It's the best thing to happen to music in years, in my opinion. #MusicMemories #RhythmRenaissance

What is very special about this song is that it was the last song he wrote before he died. He was planning on retiring and help raise his two year old son. He had finished keeping his word to do a performance at a high school that he committed to years earlier. It was on the flight home from that final performance when the plane crashed and he past away. It is my understanding that the record company took advantage of him and did not release this song till after his death. He was a Good, decent, honest man, and always kept his word.

I was a freshman in high school, and had just started developing my musical tastes, growing away (a bit) from the bubble gum stuff, disco, etc., branching out to more 'grown up' serious music like Jim Croce, when that plane went down in '73. It hit me almost like a family member had died. I replayed all my favorite Croce songs, and all I could think was how this was it, that's all, no more -- this talented artist had written and sung his last song. Echoes of that empty feeling still resonate deep inside, all these years later. He went too soon....

This man was so famous, so fast, and then it was all gone a few years after it started. I'll never forget the day back in 1973, when I was working on my pickup truck out in the yard, listening to the radio while I worked. All of the sudden A voice interrupted the song and said, "we interrupt this program (song) for a flash news Bulletin. Singer, songwriter and three-time Grammy Award winner Jim Croce (Cro-chee) has been killed in an airplane crash." I was stunned, and frozen, and couldn't move for a few moments. This man was such a star and wrote some amazing music in the few years of his career. As my mom used to say to us as kids, "Yesterday is gone, and we are not promised tomorrow, so remember, God only gives us today." Nothing could be truer. Anyway, Jim left us some wonderful songs to enjoy. Some are funny, and some are beautiful. He was so talented. Thanks

Another lost 'treasure' from the same era, is the UK's Clifford T Ward. He was an amazing singer/songwriter, but was also a shy performer, & was affected so deeply by the harshness of 'showbiz', that he retired from performing waaaay too early, & turned to teaching, in his native Worcestershire, England. He contracted MS, & died way too young, in 2001, but left a legacy of musical gems, that are still fondly remembered by his devoted fans around the world. His best known songs include, 'Home thoughts from abroad', 'Wherewithal', 'Gaye', & 'The best is yet to come', but even his lesser known album tracks still carry his trademark amazing lyrics, & wonderful use of poetic language! Just sit back, & let it wash over you, it's beautiful!! 😍

This song takes me back to the mid 70s when I was 10-12 years old. Bachelor-dude that lived across the street from us with his 2 Labrador dogs; the Black was Mickey - short for Michelob - and the red was Brandy. Yes, he named them after his 2 favorite adult beverages! He had hooked up some speakers in his garage to his "hi-fi" in the house and would put a stack of 3 or 4 LPs on the 'record changer'. He kept his garage ice box full of various drinks - both kid & adult. If his garage door was open, neighborhood kids were welcome to come hang out, have a drink, and listen to his "cool" music! Thanks for the most excellent flashback!

@The Adventures of TNT, Jim was an incredible singer-songwriter, who was taken from us at the tender age of 30 (January 10, 1943 - September 20, 1973). He was born in Philadelphia (South Philadelphia) & grew up in Upper Darby Pa, a suburb of Philly... Some other songs you should listen to is 'Operator' a man wanting to reconnect with his old love, who ran off with his best friend... and 'I'll Have to Say I Love You (in a Song)'. Some of my favorites. Thank you for listening to his music with open mind & ears... When I originally came across your page, I thought you would make jest of the music (you know, younger people, older music), but I am pleasantly surprised of the thoughtful & honest words to your review... So, from this old classic rocker (68 years old), I say thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You have a new subscriber in me... Looking forward to more of your reviews...

I'm 61 years old. I can't hear this song without becoming emotional no matter how hard I try. Just thinking about that song, affects me still. It was not that way when first heard it on the radio. But I do recall that it was a shame to know he died in a plane crash and left a family in mourning and fans devastated. Life seemed unfair especially enduring the loss of a hero in Bruce Lee that same year and only a couple months apart from Jim Croce's passing. A terrible loss of talent. Maybe that's part of the sorrow and maybe a slight guilt I feel knowing that I am still surviving and enjoying a pair of beautiful grand kids that have entered my life. They give me joy and I hope to enjoy many more years to come watching them grow to be fine citizens. But there never seems to be enough time...
