The master copy of his sophomore effort, however, got temporarily misplaced by the Barnaby Records, hindering its release. Buffet then moved to Key West in 1972, where he smuggled little marijuana from the Caribbean in order to help support himself. In the following year, Jimmy got signed to ABC-Dunhill Records, released A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean, which resulted in forming his drunken-sailor persona. Jimmy’s commercial breakthrough came in 1977 with the platinum hit single ‘Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes’ that scored at #12 on the music charts, and also with the hit single ‘Margaritaville’, which ranked at #8.
