    Such a charming man... It's strange to miss someone you never met. I look at Jim and feel like I lost a friend whom I never knew.

    many say the the day the music died was about buddy,the boppa and Richie ,, but for me it has become second fold when we lost Jim and Maury ,,then Stevie Ray Vaughan ,, they say somewhere that the god only takes the best ...

      I agree, Jim and Maury died when I was six months old, I was raised on their music. Stevie died when I was 17, I’ll never forget that day. It was a hard pill to swallow

      I wasn't allowed to listen to much "secular/rock" music, But my dad fortunately allowed me abd my sister to have this man's entire catalog. This man and Gordon Lightfoot was about as "rock&roll" as it got... But these character songs are just fun eloquence. 2024

    Always loved Jim's music. I wish I had known more about Maury. It could've just as easily been Maury who'd become famous first. They were a great team. God bless them both.

      You're right Cathy he did give us so much I get emotional just thinking about it and I had realized it's been fifty years this year. And I'm a 61 year old guy whose wife has never seen him cry but she doesn't see the tears in my eyes right now. Take care of yourself

    Lyrics
    Oh rapid Roy that stock car boy
    He too much too believe
    You know he always got an extra pack of cigarettes
    Rolled up in his t-shirt sleeve
    He got a tattoo on his arm that say baby
    He got another one that just say hey
    But every Sunday afternoon he is a dirt track demon
    In a '57 Chevrolet
    Oh rapid Roy that stock car boy
    He's the best driver in the land
    He say that he learned to race a stock car
    By runnin' shine outta Alabam'
    Oh the demolition derby
    And the figure eight
    Is easy money in the bank
    Compared to runnin' from the man
    In Oklahoma City
    With a five hundred gallon tank
    Oh rapid Roy that stock car boy
    He too much too believe
    You know he always got an extra pack of cigarettes
    Rolled up in his t-shirt sleeve
    He got a tattoo on his arm that say baby
    He got another one that just say hey
    And Sunday afternoon he is a dirt track demon
    In a '57 Chevrolet
    Yeah Roy so cool
    That racin' fool he don't know what fear's about
    He do a hundred thirty mile an hour
    Smilin' at the camera
    With a toothpick in his mouth
    He got a girl back home
    Name of Dixie Dawn
    But he got honeys all along the way
    And you oughta hear 'em screamin'
    For that dirt track demon
    In a '57 Chevrolet
    Oh rapid Roy that stock car boy
    He too much too believe
    You know he always got an extra pack of cigarettes
    Rolled up in his t-shirt sleeve
    He got a tattoo on his arm that say baby
    He got another one that just say hey
    But every Sunday afternoon he is a dirt track demon
    In a '57 Chevrolet
