Jimmy Buffett - 1980-03-14 - Palladium, NY (FM)

As the decade of the 1970’s came to a close, Jimmy Buffett became an “overnight sensation”. His 1977 album, Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, became his first album to go gold, eventually reaching platinum status and climbing to #12 on the Billboard charts. The single, Margaritaville, went all the way to #8 on the charts. He followed that success with the album, Son Of A Son Of A Sailor in 1978, which cracked the Billboard Top 10. The single Cheeseburger In Paradise made the Billboard top 40, peaking at #32. Of course, like most “overnight sensations”, Buffett had paid plenty of dues along the ways. The 2 albums discussed here were actually the 8th and 9th of his career, He had released more than 15 singles before Margaritaville made him as household name. This classic WNEW-FM Broadcast, from 3 dozen years ago today on March 14, 1980, captures Jimmy entering the 1980s on the heels of his new found commercial success.  Download it and break out the margaritas and Land Sharks!
