Jimmy, have a margarita and a cheeseburger for me up in paradise. Rest in perpetuity, my friend.
RIP JB!
I'm having that for dinner tonight. Even before I heard the sad news. Live life like time is the thing standing still.
Rip James William Buffett, you will be missed
Well said
First met JB @ The Cellar Door. Just him and Roger & a tip jar.
It seems like Jimmy saves my life every winter when it gets very gray, cold, and depressing for me…I just put on a Jimmy cd and it becomes warmer with hopes of spring getting closer quickly.
RIP to a guy who seemed like a really genuine and good guy.
Exactly
Boat Drinks! Before you shoot 4 holes in your freezer! 😉😀
I can see you doing that! If listening to his music doesn't lift your spirit🙏😇
Seems I listen to JImmy Buffet when the I storms come for Florida...always lift my spirit..
I put on Live By The Bay at the first sign of snow
Nothing says talent like a guy and a guitar singing from his guest seat on David Letterman. That was wonderful! Rest in peace, Jimmy.
Pitch perfect too! Damn he sounded great there!
No back up, no mega band, and damn sure no auto tune. Just talent.
He was truly a gift
Such a gift. Rest in eternal peace, Jimmy!
It's been so nice to discover Jimmy Buffet after his passing.
RIP. Thanks for the music.
Hats off to the audio technician on this show. Jimmy's recording is excellent.
Interesting you noticed that.
Agreed; it’s perfect.
I have played Come Monday every Labor Day for decades and was looking forward to it again in a couple of days. This breaks my heart.
God wanted him home for the labor day weekend show💔🍹
@@heydeanie- For heaven's sake, don't give up playing "Come Monday," on Labor Day! As long as we keep playing his 'anti-stress' music he will never die, and we will live longer, happier lives.
Now that is what I call a true tradition. My tribute was to be listening to him while in Hawaiʻi.
Sad to hear of his passing😢 He's one of our beloved native born locals where I live on the Gulf Coast. Always felt like he'd live forever. And now, forever in our hearts, music and nature.❤
That's exactly how I felt - that he'd live forever. Being in a tropical band and playing some of his songs, it feels like life will never be the same. I feel like a little happiness might have left the earth - but he WILL live on in our hearts, minds and songs - and I'm pretty sure he's playing some amazing tiki bar in heaven right now 🥰🍹The party's not all over!
Yup. I grew up in Biloxi. His music may as well be church music for me. There isn't a note that doesn't remind me of home.
Raised in Pensacola in the 60's, 70's and i know the feeling.
I surely hope so
PUT HIM IN A SONG EATING IN A BUFFET LINE AND SINGING !!!
I feel like I’ve lost a lifelong friend…sail on, Jimmy. Thanks for everything💙
Rest in peace Jimmy. You were a huge part of the fabric of my life!
He was part of the soundtrack of my life.
@@someguy2135 Same here. I cried when I heard the news. RIP, Dear Jimmy!
I cried too😢…😭☹️
How wonderful to be treated to the both of them again - the performer and one who truly listened - RIP, Mr. Buffett.
How crazy is it that he passes ON Labor Day weekend!? Rest in paradise Jimmy.
I think it's kind of beautiful... Fitting... 💔🍹
The Labor Day weekend show in heaven was a little better this year...
He waited till summer was over
Never saw a man who smiled more than Jimmy Buffett.
Sail on Jimmy.
Rest in Paradise..
This South Florida girl grew up on Jimmy. Some of the best songs ever. Great voice with a huge ❤.
I cried like a baby when I saw this video as this song has a particular place in my heart. After hearing how this song saved Jimmy’s life I would say in many ways although different, this song saved my life as well.
Many years ago I was quite a different young man when I met this particular girl who was quite different from the rest. We had met a few months earlier but I was resistant to commit even though I knew she was special.
I had a trip planned with my buddies to Key West to get away to cut loose a bit during spring break. Having lived in Ft Lauderdale in the 80’s I was introduced to Jimmy Buffet and became I guess you could say, a Parrot Head.
Anyway fast forward to my Key West trip I began to realize that the special girl I had been seeing meant so much more to me then I wanted to admit. So much so my heart really began to miss her like no one ever before. Now up to this point we talked about not seeing each other exclusively but I realized that I not only wanted to spend the rest of my life with her but I didn’t want to ever leave her again. So one night while “Come Monday” was playing in the background I decided to call her and tell her my feelings. It was that night told her I would be back early Monday and asked her to “save Monday for me”.
Fourteen months later we were married and it is still one of the happiest days of my life but it all started with that lonely night and Jimmy Buffet in the background singing “Come Monday”. Now after 30 years this song still has a special place in our hearts. So much so every time we hear it we say “save Monday for me” my wife with a smile and me with a tear in my eye.
I think his bar "The Parrot Head" still exists! It was there when I lived in Ft Lauderdale in the 2000's. May he RIP! Gone too soon! 🙏
Beautiful story!! I love Come Monday and He went to Paris.
That's beautiful... I bet none of them ever realize how much their music means to us
❤️❤️❤️
I was there early 80’s. I remember the bar well. Happy for you and the Mrs.🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴
He was a legend😢, so ironic he left this world " Labor day weekend " as he quotes in Come Monday. Rest in peace 🩵🙏🏻💙
Indeed.
I'm 53 years old now. I saw him in concert when I was 22, in Indiana, at an amphitheater in cornfield country and he took us in the thousand plus crowd to the sea breezes and french wines and cheeses and Belizes and trade winds of a world far away from wherever adulthood would have us confined for the next 30 years. Smooth seas, sir.
Man, that was poignantly put. Jimmy would've smiled at that.
Evansville 1985?!?
@karenpeninger3334 It was in 1992 at Deer Park Amphitheater, just about 30 minutes from Indianapolis. 🦜 🧂 🧂 🧂
RIP Jimmy we loved you for being perfectly imperfect
Ah man, that brought a tear or two. Rest in peace, Jimmy.
That little look he gave after he strummed that last chord like "well what do ya think?" What a character, great song writer and not a half bad singer, they broke the mold that Christmas day in 1946. RIP Mr Jimmy!
Love this song. Been listening to it for nearly all my life. 57 years old. RIP Jimmy.
Me too!
I’m 61 and have only heard a couple of his songs. When famous musicians die I often have never heard of them. I should listen to more music and take a music class. He seemed like a great guy.
This and Biloxi. Timeless.
Both of em
62 here. My older Brother turned me onto him in 1978. I was 18 and blown away!
RIP, right here the whole world can hear and see why he was so special. He had the ability to transport the listener to another place with his guitar and voice.
and words.
Looks like Jimmy Buffett is heading up to Heaven for the Labor Day weekend show. Love that song and loved the man as well. Great talent, he definitely will be missed!
This is so sad.. 😢😢 He was a guy so full of joy, and clearly lived his life to make & perform music.. 💜💜💙💔🌷
As of right now, no cause of death has been announced, but.. part of the statements from his social pages state - "He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.”
-- Was touching to read that, after my 1st thought upon hearing this shocking passing. I don't follow him super closely, but there was a mention that he had visited the hospital in recent years, but recovered & went on his way making plans with friends as usual..
Bless his sweet soul 💜✨✨✌💕
Imagine having had been even a little bit famous and lots of people showing you love when you pass away.
Most of us nobodies will silently pass away barely anyone caring unless we somehow die a violent death that ends up on the news or a true crime podcast...
@@ellamay3816 True that..👍As a songwriter myself, I greatly admire reading the comments from people talking about how a certain musician was apart of so many of their memories, &/or genuinely got them through a hard era of their life.. ❤💜💜 And feel like they've lost a friend, when they pass.. 💕💕 If we all live much longer through the climate crisis, those^^ kinds of things are what I inwardly aspire to. But I count on nothing so far, and take one day at a time for whatever they are worth ✌✌
@whoamellie5610 So tired of all these stars dying prematurely with "unknown/no announced cause of death."!!! SMH. But, 🤫🤫🤫(💉) don't say anything. 😠
@@ellamay3816 yea but in the end we ALL will be forgotten. Even the earth won't be around forever. So does it really matter? what matters is whats inside you, not what others thought of you.
I come back to this video often. Rest in peace Jimmy.
Rest in Peace Jimmy.. thank you for all of the memories and songs. See you again "Come Monday"
Damn, he was good. Never heard much from him other than his hits, but "Distantly In Love" shows what a master songwriter he was. It should've been a hit. Thanks for the music, Jimmy & TYSVM Mr. Letterman for posting this.
His music was the soundtrack of my life. Rest in Paradise, Jimmy. Thanks for all the great music and good times. 🍻 🍔
The music from my youth. RIP Jimmy.
Have a cheeseburger in paradise
Rest In Peace, Jimmy. We loved you and you’ll be missed
No one truly dies anymore, his songs live in perpetuaty on the internet.
That hit me last year listening to Christmas music realizing it's kind of like we all listen to angels every year... Bing, Sinatra, Judy Garland, even George Michael and Luther Vandross... Time just goes so quickly...
I never add comments on RUclips but I have to say Jimmy was the soundtrack to a generation and his music got me, like many others, through some hard times. That's a rare talent Mr B. RIP Jimmy. May your winds be fair and your seas calm.
I still remember my friend walking into his apartment one day and shouting "I'VE GOT JIMMY BUFFET!" when I was in my early 20s. It's how I first heard him...and now I miss my friend who I haven't seen in years.
God grant him peace and eternal rest, Amen
💔
Jimmy Buffett is such a big part of my life. His music always makes me feel better. Fins up Jimmy. I'll have a boat drink for you.
While you have that BoatDrink, read any of his books and be entertained…..js
Really unique singing voice and a great laid back guy.
and beautiful words.........
R.I.P. Jimmy❤
Sad to hear of his passing😢RIP to a guy who seemed like a really genuine and good guy.
Thank you, Dave, for this. Jimmy will be so missed. I expected him to be around a lot longer. 😢❤
Agreed. He wasn't even on my radar as someone who was getting on in age. 76 is way too young in this day, especially when you have access to the best medical care in the world.
skin cancer that turned inward to Lymphoma. Same with my twin sister. Hers went to the breast and kidneys.
He was supposed to outlive all of us. 🌈
@@lotsoffun4716 I'm so sorry about your sister.
Thank you.@@crazyhorse9556
Just another reason to love "Come Monday". One of my favorite lyrics, though, was "Wrinkles only go where the smiles have been." Thank you for all the joy, Jimmy. So glad to have been to at least one concert which was such a fun night at a huge beach party minus the sand. Sail on, sir. See you on the flip side.
Come Monday and He went to Paris always makes me cry.
1 of my top 3 lyrics of all time is: with you I’d walk anywhere. That simple but enormously powerful line hit me sweet when I heard it the 1st time at 18 y.o. and it defined how I felt with the the love of my life too. A gigantic loss for millions. Thanks for everything Jimmy Buffett!!! Fair winds and following seas Cap’n…..
i love the fact that he made it all on his talent. a life well lived.
What sad news. You know we can't live forever, but some people we just think they will live on forever. Thank you Jimmy for all the amazing music you gave us to listen to and cherish forever. You have left us so many things to enjoy besides your music, cruise ship, restaurants, hotels, and even campgrounds. I am sure you are eating a cheeseburger in paradise and sipping a margarita. We will miss you, Jimmy.
Thank you for all the wonderful songs. You will be missed. 😢R.I.P Jimmy 😢
The world is worse off today without you. Thanks for all the smiles JB
anyone else listening to JB songs all morning besides me?
I'm the son of a son of a sailor but Come Monday's always been my favorite. Thanks, Jimmy (and Dave).
So sad to hear the news. May you rest in paradise Jimmy Buffett. Thanks for your music and Margaritaville forever. 😥
A huge part of the soundtrack to my life, you will be missed, but your music will resonate eternal.
The tears are flowing. What a storyteller ❤️
😪😪 Sad day. His music will live on forever ❤❤❤
I love Songs that tell a story
Two great songs
We will always remember you, Jimmy.
R.I.P. Jimmy - saw him live many times (maybe 20x 🤣) and enjoyed his music for most of my life. This was great Late Night performance. "Our lives change like the weather, but a legend never dies"
Labor Day weekend music with Jimmy Buffet. The best, love you, RIP
RIP Jimmy. Thanks for all the great concerts in Cincinnati, and the house we're building in LMWS! Awesome concept. Peace to the Buffett family, friends & fans.
"After 76 years of perpetual motion . . . . some of it's magic and some of it's tragic, but it's been a good life all the way."
So sad. Jimmy brought nothing but good times to his audiences since he started. I pray he’s finally found his one particular harbor. RIP, Jimmy. 🙏🍹
One of my favorite songs
HOW FITTING THAT JB SHOULD CHECK OUT ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND!
REST EASY & THANKS FOR THE MELODIES!!
He waited till summer was over
damn this team is quick
God bless him, he was a class act his whole life
'and made a lot of good music too
Jimmy grins, and makes his exit with one last PUN. This was his breakthrough hit where it all began.
Then he goes out on Labor Day weekend, in a nod to the lyric.
RIP Jimmy,and thank you for the great stories you told,life is just a tyre swing.❤️
He'll never be gone from us, we'll all see him again 😍😎.
RIP Jimmy Buffett Thanks for all of the smiles and all of the songs, in the past, now and in the future.
A legend never dies :)
This year Jimmy is playing the Labor Day weekend show in Paradise. Our loss, heaven’s gain. RIP Jimmy and thanks.
God bless you mister jimmy buffett
Jimmy buffet was truly my favorite and the best singer I even got my middle name after him may he rest in paradise sipping margaritas on beaches
Thank you for posting this video. My wife and I and our cat traveled all around the US camping, hiking bringing Jimmy Buffett along with us as our traveling music. What a great multi talented human that always appeared to be relaxed and at easy anywhere. Rest In Peace!
You will be missed Jimmy Buffet. I feel so sad right now.
I've been playing his songs for many years now. I'll do Margaritaville as a request, but if I'm choosing the Buffett song, it's always Come Monday. I think it's as fine a piece of songwriting as you'll ever find. I woke up to the news this morning and while I'm sad that I never got to see him perform, I will keep these songs going out through the air as long as I can. To quote another one of my heroes who has passed on, "May the four winds blow you safely home," Jimmy.
Always my fav too ❤❤
When I was told this Morning, I heard Come Monday in my head, I Googled the song, and the lyrics were eerie, Labor day weekend Show
So ironic that he died heading into Labor Day weekend. Come Monday it will be alright Jimmy….
His playing and voice are so relaxing, a joy to listen to. May he Rest In Peace.
RIP Jimmy - such a shock to lose him so young.
After all these years, and a thousand listens, Come Monday can still get me a little choked up. Thank you Jimmy.
Loved that!! First time hearing this song. Little bit of a Jim Croce melancholy vibe. 💕
This is one of those early career songs before the Margaritaville & Cheeseburger in paradise era. Love this song.
@@dasbof I need to go back, and check out that early catalog! Thanks!
Always thought Jim Croce vibe with his older songs 🩵
@@geetallygee5089 Absolutely!
R.I.P. Jimmy
RIP, and at the same time whenever I see one of these from Dave now I know its not great news, but thank you for sharing and remembering these legends
I agree. Every time Don posts I’m like oh God they died.
RIP , to the best Jimmy...you were and forever will be, our "island lullaby."😢😢
really sad day today.. RIP Jimmy Buffett
Very surprised and shocked when I read the news this morning...... Thank you for all the great songs and memories, Jimmy. R.I.P.
Absolute legend RIP. His music was a big part of my youth
My heart is broken! This one is a kick in the gut 😢 Parrot head for life!! ❤ RIP JB 😢❤
Rest in peace. Parrothead party here ALL DAY LONG
Rip to the best. He will be sorely missed.
Absolutely loved this. Playing and singing with such ease. Such a talent he will be missed. God bless you and RIP Jimmy B.
I’m sad to hear about Jimmy Buffett’s passing. He’s my favorite musician. He seemed like a nice guy.💔😢
Mine as well
Come Monday Is
A Very Special Song
Thank You For Sharing Your God Given Talent
With The World
Rest In Paradise
Mr. Buffett
One thing that was obvious to me over the years is that David Letterman loves music. You could see he really appreciated the performers who came on his show. Obviously a fan of Jimmy Buffet, and specially requested he play ‘Come Monday’.
Just sad to realize Jimmy is no longer with us and that voice has been silenced forever.
RIP, sir. You will be missed by many.
Thank You, Jimmy ... for all the fantastic nights in the audience watching you & Mac McNally entertain us with all your awesome music and stories.
"May the 4 Winds blow you safely home ..." ❤
Jimmy's music & lifestyle helped pull me out of a dark place in the 90's. I probably over indulged too much in the boat drinks, but that's just another lesson learned & part of the journey.
It’s still difficult to imagine he’s gone. RIP
Gordon Lightfoot and Jimmy Buffett in the same year. Damn. RIP
How many guys ever came on a talk show and sat there solo, singing two songs in a row like that? No help from the band, just him with his guitar keeping the audience spellbound.
Hope you found that lost shaker of salt.
RIP. Thanks for the years of enjoyment!
My three greatest singer songwriters are now gone...Jimmy Buffett, John Denver and John Prine. RIP Gentlemen, your songs will live on forever.
I'm glad you put him up there with those guys because he was honestly a great songwriter. It's kind of hard to beat Sam Stone, but there are so many great songs that poured out of Jimmy, like Come Monday, He Went to Paris, Wonder Why We Ever Go Home, In the Shelter, and Biloxi.
He wasn’t talent he was a business man who fleeced his audience. He will be forgotten soon after that last drunk in margaritaville sobers up
@@opticscolossalandepicvideo4879 thanks for that attempt at mockery. As a musician, who grew up surrounded by other muscians, I listened to some of the greatest record of all time in my youth. Jimmy Buffet was really a decent songwriter and he deserves repect for it. Everybody will remember him, and nobody will remember your internet post.
@@berrybradley6292 fleecing a loyal fan base for decades. Overcharging and overpricing your loyal fan base is unconscionable. He used fans generosity and loyalty as his own private atm for years. A horrid capitalist who toured and entertained for gross profit who ripped off his fans for decades. A horrid legacy. As a fellow human sorry he passed. As an entertainer he was a complete hack who bamboozled and fooled a loyal fan base for decades through overcharging and giving them products they could not afford or need. Quite honestly the most corrupt musician second only to the band kiss for crass commercialism. Just an Awful person who ripped off his fans for decades
@@berrybradley6292 not one great song or melody. He will remembered as a crass commercial opportunist who sold a drunk and ignorant audience a false lifestyle that was a complete myth and fabrication.
As a full fledged ParrotHead I'm devastated by Jimmy's passing, but he left us so much to remember him.
Bravo, Jimmy. Bravo, Dave. The Letterman show has an incredible archive of outstanding music -- thanks to Dave and Paul S.
If there's a Rock and Roll Heaven, well you know they got a Hell of a band. 😢
Wheeeee!
He is so great. Rest in peace, Jimmy!
Saw Buffet in Arizona where the Parrot heads came alive in the parking lots before the concert to party party party! Never be another one like you..❤❤❤
Thanks for all the great music and good times, Jimmy!
Sad to hear Jimmy has passed. RIP.
Im just glad he didn't die in a trailer.
He owned a chain of retirement homes called Latitude Margaritaville, a place for his fans to retire, so impossible for him to die in a trailer when he had multiple business ventures, he was very successful outside his music
@@ytzpilot I was referencing his song Son of a Son Of a Sailor. My favorite of his.
@@sayeager5559 oh yup true 🤣😎👍
RIP brother jimmy Margaritaville days were some of the best of my life💗💗💗ps spell check underlined Margaritaville came up no replacements found AMEN
Jimmy, thank you for sharing your amazing gift of music with the world. You will be missed by millions of people. RIP.
