Jimmy Buffett (born James William Buffett on December 25, 1946, in Pascagoula, Mississippi) is a singer, songwriter, author, businessman, and recently a film producer best known for his “island escapism” lifestyle and music including hits such as “Margaretville” (No. 234 on the list of “Songs of the Century”), and “Come Monday.” He has a devoted base of fans known as “Parrot heads.” His band is known as the Coral Reefer Band.
Aside from his career in music, Buffett is also a best-selling writer and is involved in two restaurant chains named after some of his best known songs, “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and “Margaretville.” He owns the Margaretville Cafe restaurant chain and co-developed the Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant concept with OSI Restaurant Partners (parent of Outback Steakhouse), which operates the chain under a licensing agreement with Mr. Buffett.
