Jim Croce was a national treasure. Gone way too soon. Try "Operator" next

[jodij]

50 years after his death he's still making an impact. 'You Don't Mess Around with Jim' and 'Bad, Bad Leroy Brown' are happy songs.

[lindseyherter]

My parents hardly agreed on any music. Jim was one of them. I know every word to every song

[starlightperkins]

"Photographs and Memories" is a beautiful song by Jim Croce

[MizCriz]

Jim was a wonderful lyricist & storyteller. Maury Muehleisen was a phenomenally gifted guitarist. He doesn't get nearly enough credit for his added magic on Jim's songs. He was 24 when he died in the same plane crash that Jim did.

Time was the one thing he didn't have

[nunyas]

Love Croce and those lyrics are actually going to be in bottles with my husband's ashes for family and friends to spread. He passed 3 months ago and this song is so appreciated and appropriate.

[Tevoro]

This song was released shortly after the plane crash that took Jim's life. I was in sixth grade - and it quickly became everyone's favorite song. It was also the first song I'd heard that reduced me - or any of my peers - to tears. I remember the very first time I heard it - my mother was driving me to an orthodontist appointment and it came on the radio. It sliced me to my core. As much as I needed to be comforted, I was going through a tough-guy phase and so I turned toward the window to hide the fact that I was crying. When the song ended, I felt a hand on my forearm. I turned to see that my mother had been sobbing quietly as she drove - and needed comfort from me.

Any Jim Croce song is great. His songs "Operator", "You Don't Mess Around With Jim", "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song" and "I Got A Name" are great. As for Rod Stewart my fav song is "Forever Young", but "Young Turks", "Maggie May", "Do 'Ya Think I'm Sexy", "All For Love" (with Bryan Adams and Sting), "Ooh La La" and "This Old Heart Of Mine" are all worth a listen.

[MiriamMeyers]

According to Ingrid, this "love song" was written from him to his son. He put his financial worries to the side and let himself touch eternity by feeling the depths of enjoying the fact that he would be a father.

[jondonnelly]

If you liked this, "Operator" is another good one.

[rebeccarose]

This song has always had the ability to make me cry. He was so talented and taken far too soon! Rod Stewart should be Maggie Mae.

[davidp.williams]

An unbelievable talent who left us too soon. He and Maury were an unbeatable combination.

[matthewhildebrandt]

I'm so glad you have added Jim Croce to the mix! Other great songs by him include Operator, I Got a Name, and I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song. You won't be disappointed by any of his songs.

[KevinRCarr]

"...but there never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do once you find them..." That line just destroys me every single time, knowing that we lost him so soon after this was released. On the subject of Rod Stewart, others will likely say otherwise, but my favorite Stewart song is called Reason To Believe, which I think is a great song and a good showcase of the emotional impact Stewart's voice is capable of carrying, when he slows down and pours some feeling into a song. Looking at others' suggestions, I'm reminded that it was released as the B side of the song Maggie Mae when the single was chosen for the album.

[pattricklewis]

I actually credit Jim Croce with teaching me how to play guitar. I was 13 years old in 1981, with my eyes closed, sitting on the floor with my legs crossed, holding my guitar, and my ear about 12 inches from the speaker, while I worked out the chords and technique. He really was my teacher.

[GreenOlives]

This song is beloved by millions ❤️❤️❤️ Jim is also loved by millions ❤️❤️❤️ Rest in peace and comfort, Jim

[rescuelover]

Jim has always been one of my favorite artists. I cried the day he died. The song was prophetic for him and a lot of people. This is my favorite song of his. You sure picked a heartbreaker to start with Jim's music.

[shemanic]

A once heard never forgotten tune, try "Operator" too.

[llschnitz]

“I’ll Have to Say I Love You in a Song”is his most wonderful. The other two are “Operator” and “ I’ve Got a Name”.
