He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.\u201d Buffett was 76.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Buffett began his career in Nashville, Tennessee, during the late 1960s as a country artist and recorded his first album, \u201cDown to Earth\u201d. In the early 1970s he moved to Florida and began establishing the beach-bum persona he became known for. He combined country with folk, calypso, rock and pop, giving his music a tropical feel. His second album was 1973\u2019s \u201cA White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean\u201d. The albums \u201cLiving and Dying in \u00be Time\u201d and \u201cA1A\u201d followed in 1974. In 1976 came his next \u201cHavana Daydreamin\u2019\u201d and \u201cChanges in Attitudes\u201d in 1977, which featured the breakthrough song \u201cMargaritaville\u201d. In total, Buffett released more than thirty albums.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from music, Buffett was also a bestselling author, writing three number-one bestsellers- Tales from Margaritaville and Where is Joe Merchant? Both spent over seven months on the New York Times Best Seller fiction list. In 1998 he published his memoir A Pirate Looks at Fifty, going straight to number one on the New York Times Bestseller non-fiction list. He also wrote two children\u2019s books, The Jolly Mon and Trouble Dolls.<\/p>\n<p>Ringside Report sends our condolences to Jimmy Buffett\u2019s family during their time of grief.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808000;\"><a style=\"color: #808000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/232300-BOXING-INTERVIEWS-OF-A-LIFETIME\">Click Here to Order Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime By &#8220;Bad&#8221; Brad Berkwitt<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Geoffrey Huchel Singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, whose hits included \u201cMargaritaville\u201d and \u201cCheeseburger in Paradise\u201d, passed away September 1, 2023.
