I'm a Jimmy Buffet fan but if you want to hear a great version of this sensational song, watch the video of Ray Charles singing lead with The Beach Boys harmonizing in the background. Performed in Hawaii.
Dang! I will check it out! Thanks, there hasn't been a Bad cover of this song I've heard yet. Even John Legend in a Brian Wilson tribute this year. Made up for that bogus Baby It's Cold Outside revisit of his! 😂 #PhinsUpPhorever!!
Pay no attention the haters, they have a small and insignificant life, and only able to try and bring others down to their miserable level. Live happy, and you've beaten them. Nice work you did here.
@@ParrotheadPoet I never considered his business dealings, but if this was so, it makes it harder for me getting he was a Billion-with-a-B-Aire!! The King of Somewhere Hot sure weren't no "MJ.
the singing sounds a bit perfunctory compare to Blondie Chaplin's impassioned version, which compares well with the typical warblings of the Wilson brothers quality wise. I'm awarding a mild thumbs down.
Brian Wilson wrote it, along with about four others. Listen to the Beach Boys original, with Blondie Chaplin on lead vocal. ruclips.net/video/RQOaLP-qPmk/видео.html
Sail on jimmy buffet , you will be missed but your music will go on!!! Rip
Personally I like this version
What is this?! No angst, no pain, no passion. A lounge version, totally flat.
Sail on, Jimmy Buffett. You will be missed.

Have to agree .the performance in Hawaii was best..sail on sail on..there is another..London proms..Julian Lennon and mark
Agreed.
Ray Kennedy's (KGB) is the Best + he co wrote it .
That is a great version, but the original by the Beach Boys with Blondie Chaplin singing lead is the best. ruclips.net/video/RQOaLP-qPmk/видео.html

Fair winds and following seas, Jimmy. May we all meet on that far shore once again.
wow, I'm so surprised about all the negative comments on this version. I love it!
Jeez I know, honestly I like both versions respectively, but I heard this version first. But like this one more. 🤷♂️

😊Sail on, Sail on, Sailor 🎶🎶🎵🎵💕💕💕
May we cross paths in the universe 🙏🏻 JIMMY BUFFET , FOREVER IN PARADISE ❤️
This is decent, but NO ONE can top The Beach Boys.❤
Not as good as the Boys, but still the perfect song for Buffet to cover.
Jimmy is so gracious to extend the life of many other great hits by other artists. He pays the extra performance royalties. That's class.
Jimmy is the best. I have no other words to describe my love for him!

Sail on, sailor. You'll be missed.
What’s his hurry?
Completely misses the point of the song, which is the rhythm.
Peace be with you Jimmy!
Saw him 15 times, I'm so sad.
R.I.P Legend
Sail on Jimmy…
Seaplanes in paradise!
RIP, Sir 😢
Actually a pretty good version. Rest in peace, Jimmy.
Definitely a cool version. I also like the Blutones and the Beach Boys version
The very best of sailing ⛵❤ to you both always ❤💙💖😘
Wow! I never knew Jimmy did this Beach Boys song !!
RIP, Jimmy!!!
i love he is articulate with his words unlike others that mumble the song
Too fast...bad video
Salute. And thanks.
ITS NOT A BAD TUNE BETTER THAN THE SHIT I TODAY
aka "Mad Dad" Chaz Hogue ...
You are absolutely right!
How did you get this digital version?
on the album Meet Me in Margaritaville
Ahh memories
With Jimmy's spin on it, it's perfect. Like it better that the Beach Boys version & I'm a long time Beach Boys fan.
Me too!
I actually found this before the BB song, but now I love them both!
I like the original mostly because the tempo is slower and gives the vocal parts the time to shine. But no hate to Jimmy on this cover.
sounds like he's trying to rush through the song...not my most loved version, at all. Sorry, Jimmy. Slow it down a bit.
Which album is this on? 💙🐢
Meet Me in Margaritaville

I guess u don't really need to listen but if u do maybe you will like I've been true fan for 30 years
+clarenceclutterbuck Jimmy rocks to his own version!
Wrong key, wrong tempo.
Sorry, sounds like some bad lounge act butchering the Beach Boys.
Well the theme of boats & sailing is “on brand” for him. Musically it’s bland & occasionally off key, it’s a no from me, dog

Testing
Unpopular opinion: I like this version and dont care for the BB's version
This version is absolutely terrible. Listen to the lyrics -- he takes a serious song and makes it a happy version that he can use to sell his brand.
He’s singing it in his own style. Wouldn’t it be pretty boring if covers were carbon copies of their original songs?
Horrible rendition.
I think if he kept the original tempo it might have helped. Nothing tops The Beach Boys version.
Better than The Beach Boys!
Nope
Don’t you ever sing this song again! Damn you!
Sorry, I don't agree with you. Jimmy's version is spectacular!
Parrothead Poet Just horrible!
well now I have heard about 20 versions of this song, wish I heard only 19
