I Got A Name Jim Croce Cover

  • Correction: I was incorrect about Jim Croce's age. He was in his Late 20's, not his Mid 30s, when he made it big. He died at 30. My apologies.. Also, I may have unintentionally left the impression when I spoke at the start ov the video that he wrote this song. In fact he did not..
    On the 40th anniversary of the tragic death of the great Jim Croce, I offer my very humble version of his great song. I Got A Name.. I carry it with me, and I sing it loud.. If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud.. Peace to your soul Jim.. You will never be forgotten. Nor will your partner Maury... He gave you wings with his FABULOUS guitar and vocal work.....

    Excellent version of a timeless classic. Croce didn't write this, but man, he played the hell out of it. And through dark times and light, this song has never failed to lift my spirits and point me forward, knowing I got a name. Thanks so very much for a virtuoso performance. A great tribute to Jim and his partner Maury, both of whom left rich legacies in lives far too short.

    My dad loved music, definitely Jim..❤️ my dad played guitar in a high school band, he taught me a ton about music, and God rest his soul, because it lives in me, and in his grandchildren. My eldest daughter teaches music, and all are completely in perfect pitch 👍Miss you dad.❤️😉

    Considering Jim dies not too long after releasing this iconic song, I will forever consider the ending to this song one of the greatest and saddest ever...
    I cry every time I hear it... 1973 was a few years before I was even born, I so wish I could have met him. Forever RIP.

    Jim Croce was only 30 years old when he and Maury Muelheisen (only 24 years old) died in that horrific plane crash upon take-off at night time in Louisiana in 1973, they had just missed seeing "I got a name" go to the top of the charts later that same year,.very sad indeed.
