He often performs high-value benefit concerts for victims of natural disasters. ![]() His breakout album was 1977's Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, which included the hit song "Margaritaville." Today, Jimmy is a major influence in both music and philanthropy. He released albums regularly: 1973's A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean two in 1974, Living & Dying in 3/4 Time and A1A followed by Havana Daydreamin' in 1976. When Jim Croce died unexpectedly in 1973, ABC/Dunhill Records called Jimmy to fill the void. Jimmy then went to Key West and found his calling: good-time island music sometimes called "gulf and western." Jimmy honed his easygoing beach bum persona playing for drinks at the Chart Room Bar in Key West's Pier House Motel. Influenced by his grandfather, who was a sailor, and by country music while working for Billboard Magazine in Nashville, Jimmy tried to break into music in Nashville, but his sound did not mesh with the brand of country music popular in the 1970s.
