When Grease became the box office sensation of summer 1978, it made unlikely hitmakers out of Sha Na Na and John Travolta. And while it was soon eclipsed by “Let’s Stay Together” and other crossover follow-ups, “Tired” remains the sweetly yearning soul of the future Reverend Al Green’s secular hits. That summer, “Margaritaville” rose along with the temperature, eventually birthing a cottage industry of restaurants and merchandise for the tropical troubadour.Ī slow-burning breakthrough, “Tired of Being Alone” was one of the biggest chart hits of 1971 despite never cracking the Top 10.
Jimmy Buffett’s career was adrift like a yacht without a compass, his only Top 40 hit years behind him, when he released his seventh album in the winter of 1977.
