    In almost all of his songs the guitar parts were played by both Jim and his musical partner Maury Muehleisen. Maury doesn't get mentioned as much because Jim was the lead singer and songwriter ... but Maury's guitar playing is sublime and a perfect pairing with Jim. Maury died in the same plane crash as Jim - this musical duo was an incredible loss to the world..

    “Operator” is his masterpiece.
    He was on the road as a touring musician most of the time. He only found commercial success near the end of his career. He had gotten to a point where he wanted to focus more on his wife and son. He was planning to limit his touring schedule. The plane crash came as he was winding down his last tour. I can’t imagine being his wife and hearing these lyrics on every radio. He finally found what he wanted to do but didn’t have enough time to do those things. A chilling song.

    My dad told me when I was a kid that Jim sat down and wrote this song the night his wife let him know he'd be a dad soon. Sadly, he died just a few years after his son was born. My dad always said it was like Jim knew he wouldn't be around for his son, so he wrote this song to tell him how much he wishes he would be there. Such a beautiful song about a parent's love! ❤

    The most beautiful song he wrote. I saw his son AJ in a concert at our local Community College. He is incredible on the piano, and he ended the show by singing this song. Jim Croce has so many hit songs, and surprisingly they were all released within 8 months before he died. There's no telling how much more he could have done if he had lived. AJ's stepfather was abusive to him and blinded him at 4 years old. He regained partial sight in one eye.

    On September 20, 1973, at the height of his popularity and the day before the lead single to his fifth album I Got a Name was released, Croce and five others died in a plane crash. His music continued to chart throughout the 1970s following his death. My Mom bought tickets to the concert that we never got to go to , she woke that morning and heard it on the news I was 13 at the time getting ready for school when she told me . As an early student of the guitar I was crushed by the death of a man with so much talent , later in life I was again moved when I found out all the backstory a true working class Joe he was .

He wrote it specifically for his son, who is also a musician now, too. He wasn't able to perform this song, though, as it affected him just too much. Finally, when he had children himself he finally decided to do the song as a tribute to his dad, and for his child...

    Songs like this make me glad I grew up in a time period when people were more sensitive, especially in relationships. Our personalities coincide with our music, which unfortunately, is also true with today's music (generally speaking). Your next song from Jim Croce has to be "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song."

    Love this song - we had it played at our wedding. The song wasn't intended to be a single, but the album track got a lot of airplay, given that the album was release posthumously, a few months after Jim's death at age 30. It really gives the lyrics about never having "enough time to do the things you want to do once you find them" a deeper meaning when you know about his untimely death. Thanks for this one!

    Personally I think his song called long time ago might be one of the prettiest songs I've ever heard you also need to check out a song called operator a lot of the guitar work was by his backup man his name was Maury mulehisen he died in the plane crash with Jim but Maury was the one that did all the lead work obviously Jim was an expert guitar player too but Maury did the hard stuff

    This was more of who Jim Croce was. The lead guitar is Maury Muehleisen, a young musician he spent he last years recording and touring with. Muehleisen was killed in the same plane crash with Croce. Croce's son Adrian is also a recording artist and was just two years old when his father died.

    Songfacts®: Jim Croce wrote this reflective song the night that he found out his wife, Ingrid, was pregnant. The couple had been married for five years, and Ingrid found out she was pregnant when she went to a fertility specialist. She recalls a mix of terror and delight in Jim's reaction when she told him the news.

    Thank you for revisiting Jim Croce's music! I really hope you can listen to some more of his songs. So far, you have barely scratched the surface of his talent. My favorites include the fantastic " I got a name." "Photographs and Memories," "New York's not my Home," and "I'll Have To Say I Love You In a Song". Jim Croce recorded "I Got A Name," right before he tragically died in a plane crash. It was his last song released and didn't get released until after his death, which makes it all the more impactful, IMHO.
