Classic Hits Of Jim Croce

What can I say about Jim Croce music! The CD arrived on time and plays wonderful. Well worth the money. I would highly recommend his music to anyone who grew up in the 70’s!

Loved it. Danced all by myself in my own home. Jammed!

I love listening to his music while I am quilting.

I loved the Jim Croce cd!

I like four of the songs. Some CDs I only like one or maybe two.

I really enjoy listening to this CD. It takes me right back to the 70s and all the fun that I had. It brings back a lot of memories.

Listening to this CD brings back a lot of happy memories. His songs were always eminently singable.

Jim Croce was at the peak of his talents when a tragic plane crash ended his life in 1973. The majestic "I Got A Name" had yet to be released, but when it did, it defined Jim Croce's short but brilliant stardom."Like a fool I am and I'll always be,I've got a dream, I've got a dream.The can change their minds, but they can't change me,I've got a dream, I've got a dream.I know I can share it if you want me to,if you're going my way, I'll go with you."That "I Got A Dream" was not written by Croce hardly matters...it defined a free spirit that looked for others to join him on his quest. Afterwards, "Time In A Bottle" was plucked for re-issue of from his first album as a memoriam to Croce, and has become a signature song of not just the artist, but the decade he came from.That debut album, "You Don't Mess Around With Jim," and its title song introduced to Jim Croce by way of his first hit character song. Like so many of his other story songs, Croce managed to perfectly encapsulate blue collar folksongs with a dash of humor. Songs like "Rapid Roy," "Working at The Car Wash Blues" and yet another signature song, "Bad Bad Leroy Brown," were snappy and sing-a-long exact.There was also that everyman who had just a hint of sadness around the edges. On "Operator," Croce debates the whys and hows of a relationship that has crumbled. He also wasn't always a romantic idealist, as "Lover's Cross" sends an ex-lover off with "I guess you wanted a super guy, or maybe a super God." (The realist is counter-balanced perfectly by the shy encounter in "I'll Have to Say I Love You In A Song.")Croce's untimely death will always leave a question mark on where his muse would have ultimately led him. He seemed on a course that would have him paralleling the likes of James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot or Cat Stevens as vanguards of seventies male singer-songwriters. With three albums that have maintained their integrity over 30 years of time's passage, this single disc "Classic Hits" culls together a life's work that will long remind us that Jim Croce became a folk icon not just because of his early departure, but because of the brilliance and accessibility of his work.

Je suis satisfait de cet album composé de 20 chansons.Tous ces succès sont présents et il y a aussi plusieurs faces B.Pratiquement toutes les chansons qui se sont classées au Top Pop Singles américain si retrouvent.Je suis très heureux de pouvoir ajouter cet album à ma collection.Le son est excellent et il est en version stéréo.Cet album est sortir en 2002 sous étiquette Warner Records Inc. & Rhino Entertainment Company CA.Bonne Écoute !!!

Ich habe früher schon Jim Croce sehr gerne gehört.Ich mag die Lieder,die Textinhalte und seine Stimme.

Si tuviera que recomendar un solo disco de Jim Croce sería este, que recoge el recopilatorio Photographs and Memories completo más otras seis canciones, lo que suma más de la mitad de su producción en los 70.

Love every song on this disc. Great buy.

Cosa dire di Jim! Un grande cuore, una grande anima. Io non l 'ho conosciuto di persona....ma attraverso la sua musica si sente una grande anima. Musica eccelsa r commovente!
