While not a chart-topping artist or a favorite of MTV, Jimmy Buffett was a friendly singer-songwriter known for his clever lyrics. His 1977 hit, "Margaritaville," stands out as his sole Top 10 song. Nevertheless, he cultivated a massive following of devoted fans known as "Parrotheads," who embraced his vision of a life filled with flip-flops, sandy beaches, boats, libations, and relaxation.
In the later stages of his career, Buffett extended his enduring popularity into various successful endeavors, including bestselling books, a Broadway musical, and a chain of casual restaurants, resorts, and other business ventures. He received recognition for his songwriting talents with induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2006 and earned two Country Music Association awards, as well as two Grammy nominations.
Before his passing, Jimmy Buffett was gearing up to release a new album, with songs being previewed weekly on Radio Margaritaville, according to his website.
He is survived by his wife, Jane Slagsvol, and their three children.
