- American singer-songwriter, Jim Croce died nearly 40 years ago in a plane crash in Louisiana. The billboard chart-topping guitar player would record five albums before his death and leave behind one child, A.J. Croce
Who disliked this?! This kid is royalty. Long live the Croces
Who the hell would dislike this?
AJ is a genuine, sweet, talented guy. Love him. Loved his dad, too.
This man is so genuine, and has such a lovely soul. Respect!
He seems like a good soul. His Dad would be proud.
Just seems like a lovely, genuine guy.
Your dad would be so proud of the fine man that you have become.
What a gift to have those tapes. I was 13, and my heart was truly broken for his family when he died. I couldn't listen to "Time in a Bottle" because it was almost prophetic. It was ironic
Wonderful and so tranquil man, I loved him! Also "congratulations" to the journalist, who remained silent and let her guest speak without interapting him all the time, as it is used lately!
You can hear the genuine soft character in his voice. AJs dad gave him so much love when home as evidenced in the footage I’ve seen. Looking forward to hearing his music.
AJ is an amazing artist in his own right. I saw him last year at a concert in Long Beach, California and was knocked out. His piano playing is off the chain. His guitar playing is fantastic and his singing is so powerful that I ended up buying 2 of his CDs on the spot!
He's not his dad. He's AJ and I narvelled at his artistry.
Rock on A.J., your father would be so proud of you.
I really love the way this interview flowed. No continuous interrupting AJ Croce
Authentic talent; no ego.
His dad is a badass guitarist. Jim Croce had laid the blueprint on the folk rock genre. His riffs were awesome.Hands down 😎
that was maury who played lead.
@@zigwald Maury Povich? 🤣

God bless you young man. Your dad was awesome, I've been a huge fan of his my whole life.
In denims like his dad.
AJ while as talented as his father, he is definitely his own man. As with Jim Croce, love his music and his attitude. He shines his own light!
What an amazing young man. Interviewer needs to stop interjecting and let AJ finish his comments. She could wait and ask questions when AJ takes a pause. So happy to hear his vision has improved.
GOD'S BLESSINGS TO HE AND HIS FAMILY.
Everything would have been different if he wasn't abused by his mother's boyfriend as a child.
His Dab is smiling on him . Just like his dad , never a bad word about anyone . God Bless this young man .
What a sweet, gentle soul he is. Love his dad so much.
What a great lookin' kid. Thoroughly enjoyed this interview! We all eventually learn to love our parents even more as we get older....after we walk a few steps in their shoes.
I am sure your dad is looking down and he has a big smile AJ. you were so young when he left us. I know the family still misses him,
like Richie.
Would love to hear these tapes of his Dad just having conversation and Music
Such a gentle soul just like Dad.God Bless you young man your Dad would be so proud of you in fact I'm sure he watches over you.❤❤
I love this interview. Love AJ and his Dad,, Grew up with his Dads music.. This is so interesting. God Bless him and Jim Croce!
so well spoken such class lovely man
One of the most inspiring musicians ever. His music at the time got me through college years and beyond. TY to his son and wife for being very open.
Sadly, I found my musical ability through Jim Croce`s music, but not until his death did I have any idea of the Man. AJ Croce, I owe your father a great debt that I can never repay. I only just recently learned of your existence , and I find your music fantastic. While I don`t have the guitar playing ability, ( I just have a few chords) I have been blessed with a fair voice. You, Sir.. you are your own man, and it`s easy to see your parents in you. Be blessed always.
Glad to find this! I've wondered about him and if he had embraced his natural talents... His voice is not as deep as his dad's, but he talks similarly with the same cadence...
the legacy lives on...
very cool guy who is comfortable in his own skin and seems to have come to grips with the huge legacy that his father left him.
A.J is an amazing artist. I have been following his career for several years now. Grew up with his fathers music which I think is as fresh today as it was in the 70's. Hi Google+ friends, this is a much watch interview.
He is amazing. Realy down to earth.
I loved his dad's music. Such a fantastic entertainer. AJ is as well. Does AJ have any cds available? Thank you for posting this interview.
What a sweet soul.
I think Jim would have recorded an even more diverse selection of musical genres if he was with us longer.
I admire you A.J. Croce. I see that your family is overflowing w/talent. I would pay to hear you sing in a heart beat....Your Dad, he is one of my favorite singer/song writer. Keep on keeping on...
What a lovely, real man.
His face wants to grow that mustache.
😂😂😂
Lmao
LOL would be great
pure gold 😂
This is the best comment ever!
A.J we are related, your father was my grandfather's cousin!
Can tell from your surname haha! that is amazing, best wishes
One the best shows I have ever seen. They guy is very, very talented and he has a ton of energy. If you get a chance go see him. Just go...
I saw AJ in Concert. Loved it! He did his stuff and his dad's stuff! Talented you are for sure!
What a nice soft spoken gentleman. I hope his career has been awesome.
Really enjoyed this interview. I saw AJ play in Halifax, NS...he's a great song writer and performer in his own right. I have his Cage of Muses album and love it!
Time in a bottle was the first song I learned on the guitar back in the mid to late 70's RIP Jim and carry on the legacy AJ ♥
Just looked him up on the web. Had no idea what had happened to him. Very talented guy and very personable.
🥀Amazing Interview with A.J. he's amazing & I'm sure if he puts his all into it will happen. Thank's for posting this video it's priceless and unbelievable🥀✌🥀
Unlimited creativity, follow your heart and let the song tell the story! AJ.. Your Dad was amazing as I played his music on guitar in the 70's.
I've heard some of AJ's music he definitely has his own style.
I really love his music... That's me in the bar.... When I come back to Nashville.. That is what I tell my friends.. Love it.
Aj ,were so fortunate to enjoy your music,and carry your mom and dad's Legacy,amazing!
He's exectly like his dad. Same mannerisms, voice.
Hi AJ, I love all your Dad's and I like wish you all the best. From Singapore
He's a nice young man his father would be proud
Its got to be tough, being in music and following a famous father. Several others come to mind.
Very cool how he recorded the same songs his dad did and didn't even know it.
I love Jim croce music always
Crazy that his mother did not protect him from her abusive boyfriend. Maybe it helped make him who he is, but why? Breaks my heart that his daddy wasn't there to protect him.
Wow you were thay little kid in the Time in a bottle vid ....sweet ! Heres to you and your dad!
love his story about his Dad's 1933 Gibson.....wow!!
Fantastic guy...and very talented..
Love this! Thank you for sharing.
Sounds like he is more like his dad then he once thought.. And AJ has his own music career and own music identity
Damn, it's spooky how much he looks like his daddy. Especially if he'd grow a mustache.
I don’t see it. Hair and skin colour maybe. Doesn’t have his expressions, eyes, or nose. Gentle voice for sure.
AJ definitely does NOT have his father's nose. I think he's actually better looking than his dad.
She did a great job as an interviewer
Great interview
What a wonderful guy!
What a great interview! Ann asked some great questions and AJ provided really interesting insights. Very engaging.
I love the music songs of jimcroce super amazing thank you jim for the wonderful song you give
....... This is the first I've seen of this guys son ...I've been to the place down in San Diego the bar... With the big picture on the wall of Jim Croce...... Yeah it was kind of weird but it was nice I guess I met this guy Jim Croce in my front yard in Babylon New York one time he was looking for a friend of mine's house Nancy dorio her sister was connected to the music industry and something about Channel 12 I think on Long Island and it was always music people in and out of the apartment and he didn't know how to get there and he asked me I was in the front yard doing something on the yard where Nancy lived if I knew her and I told him yeah and I told him where she lived and we got talking for a little while ...he was a nice guy... Of the few celebrities I've met I think he was one of the nicest ones... He was a guy that could be missed if he wasn't around...... He was good people.......
God bless AJ, sure love listening to his Dad's music and seeing him sing.
Mr A.J is a talented songwriter singer an a beautiful piano player
The love you can feel in his beautiful voice was gifted to him from his beautiful loving father the great Jim Croce.
Mr A.J you are a beautiful man with a beautiful heart thank you for who you are and thank you mr Jim Croce for bringing such a beautiful talented child to the world .
Really great interview.
I loved his dad's songs Awwww
Aj split image of your dad to me that's timeless as well as your music Jim 🕯️🕊️
Aj you are truly a unique young man.
What a pleasant young man.
What a lovely man. X
Such a talented lovely guy.
Back in 1970s right before Jim Croce died. I heard a interview on radio where he opened up and he was very emotional he even cried toward the end of the interview I think the interview was lost or destroyed
He said his father and his brothers were very violent and if he got in a fight and lost they would take him out into the shed and beat him up because he lost and he was fighting not to put that kind of violence on to his family. That would kind of explain the song operator and what happened behind the writing of the song. Just a thought.
Wow, just read the reason that AJ lost his sight was because of the abuse of his mother Ingrid’s boyfriend! Notice AJ does not mention it nor ask for pity. Such a gentleman, valiant and dignified.
His voice reminds me of his dad
There’s something in my eyes..and my heart and mind..You know.. it happens everything…Blessings….☮️☮️☮️😘😘😘👍👍👍
I meant to say every time!
Also you talk like your dad also in thought! Of music! It’s the greatest gift !
Por Dios! Es idéntico al padre!! ..y qué dulce y sensible..
I was at a Jim Croce concert at Wheaton IL in the late 70's. He was an original voice, and and darn good soundwriter. Missed.
Late 70s? You must mean late 60s.
well said A.J. , all the best
Awesome interview
This interview reminds me of one interviewer's interviews of Leonard Cohen. I see a similar track of your career & LCs. Brilliant conversation AJ.
AJ is wonderful, and he's right, the blind blues and jazz guys are in a class by themselves!
I am going to see AJ Croce Sat night. I am going to love the concert and him.
❤ Jim Croce. Thanks for keeping your dads spirit alive...
Definately a circa costello voice AJ has , which isnt bad.
AJ croce was gifted like his father they loved music.
Very interesting and heartwarming. Thanks.
love to hear conversations w Sal...
Thank you will stop by next time in SD
AJ looks so much like his father... identical kinda spooky
He favors his mother a LOT...check it out. He looks somewhat like his dad.
He doesn't look that much like his father at all. He doesn't have his father's nose, thank god. I agree with @Valerie Griner, he looks more like his mother.
He does have his mum’s nose, but he certainly has his dad’s hair, face shape, head shape, mouth, and even his speaking voice, really. The eyes are a nice combo. But, seriously, if he grew that hair out into some shaggy 70s curly mess, and a big old mustache, it would be uncanny!
Jim was a great dude.
Admire you A J
What a great guy.
AMEN, AJ -RE: style of music, it doesn't have to be one or the other ....it is ALL of it!!
Lovely voice.
Jim should be in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. A.J. looks just like Jim.
Don't forget 'Andrea Bocelli ' , that 1933 Gibson was made in KALAMAZOO, Michigan. A.J. you talk like your mom, sing like your dad, you have lighter brown eyes then your dad, you have your dad's curly hair, you are a really educated, well spoken and very good singing gentleman.
great interviewer, professional.
