When thinking of a relaxing summer day, only one artist comes to mind: Jimmy Buffett. His songs have made him a cultural icon over the years and light-hearted songs of escapism earned him a dedicated fanbase affectionately known as Parrotheads. Though well into his '60s, Buffett remains a popular performer throughout much of the country and has parlayed his songs into a successful brand including two separate restaurant chains.
Buffett began his music career as a folk singer in the 1960s, but when he moved to Florida at the behest of country music singer Jerry Jeff Walker, he began to enjoy the relaxed lifestyle that the southern paradise offered. It was there that he began to carve out the legendary persona that he is known for, and began writing and recording music inspired by his new home.
Throughout the '70s he released a string of mildly successful albums, but it was not until the 1977 album Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes that he began to establish himself. Though the record featured a number of popular tracks, none has enjoyed such longevity as "Margaritaville." More than 30 years after its release, the song remains synonymous with the good times and it's hard to go the whole summer without hearing it at least once.
Since "Margaritaville" helped his career take off, Buffett has been a mainstay in the music world. Other singles, including "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "Volcano," remain popular. His tour has been a favorite of music fans of all kinds. He has even teamed with a number of country musicians and helped contribute to Alan Jackson's hit 2003 single "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere."
Though he is among the best selling artist of all time, Buffett was not content to limit himself to just music. His popular chain of restaurants, named Margritaville and Cheeseburger in Paradise, have transformed him into somewhat of a financial mogul. He's also managed to carve out a niche in the brewing world as well, pairing with Anheuser-Busch to release a line of beer, Land Shark.
Despite his numerous business ventures and charitable work, music is clearly Buffett’s main passion. With 28 studio albums and a prolific list of singles, few artists had, and continue to have, as great of an impact as Jimmy Buffett.
