Editor’s note: Jimmy Buffett passed away on September 1, after the writing of this article.

In 1978, Jimmy Buffett released the song Cheeseburger in Paradise, which he wrote and performed. The song was part of his album titled Son of a Son of a Sailor and only hit number 32 on the Billboard charts. The irony of only hitting 32 is the song is now considered one of his signature songs and is even the first track on his greatest hits album Songs You Know by Heart.
